Hi Jamal and others,
I have been using jsx to package scripts for VMware Player and Workstation. As
you might have noticed, Chris Hallsworth started these scripts and I have been
working with him to add a little and am package them. The Player scripts are a
no brainer to package with jsx. Jsx does a good job of packaging the
Workstation as well. In fact, I have packaged them together. JAWS comes with
a "vmware.jss" script file, so I placed our scripts in "VMwareWorkstation.jss"
file and let jsx merge them together. I am using the statement at the top of
the script file to instruct jsx how to merge.
I have two additional things I would like the merge to handle, but I do not
know if it is possible.
1. I like to add debug messages throughout certain code in the format:
SayMessage (OT_DEBUG, "Menu Event: new mode = " + IntToString (iMode) + ",
handle = " + IntToString (hMenu))
To enable this to speak I add the following line to the JCF file:
[OutputModes]
DEBUG=1|1|1|DEBUG Message
Before I package the scripts I place a semicolon in front of the second line so
that these statements will be silent. When this file gets merged, even if there
was not previously a JCF file present, the section name and a dummy line gets
placed in the "vmware.jcf" file as follows: .
[OutputModes]
(NONE)
The problem is that it can be handy if a user has a problem, to tell them in an
email to remove the semicolon and listen for certain information at the spot
where they have problems or just the last thing it said before going south. I
currently get around this by simply adding a "vmware.jcf" file to the package
with these commented lines already added . The only problem with this solution
is that this would overwrite any JCF file there before installation. Would it
be possible to have the merge process add these comment lines to the result
file? Perhaps only specially marked comment lines like a double semicolon (;;
) would be copied to the result file. ?
2. I was able to use the auto graphics labeler on this application to make
sense of some of the dialogs. I may need to label more manually. I would like
to add this information in the package in the file, "VMwareWorksttation.jgf"
file, and have it merged with any graphics that the user labeled in the
"vmware.jgf" file. However, jsx does not merge these files for me. Is it
possible to get jsx to do this?
