Proper Theme Deletion

[BdN3504]

I would like to see a viewers kind of feature, that can only be performed on cfg files in the themes directory. a long select will bring up the context menu in that folder which lists "remove theme". this feature will read out the theme file delete all files whose location is pointed in the cfg file, excpet for the font.
I think this must be possible... the option to access files of a certain kind is given, the option to delete files is given, the option to read out a cfg file is given, the option to delete folders is given, so there shouldn't be much of a hassle.

Screenshots explain what i mean.
hm how can i do this myself?
i can't find out which parts of the code i have to modify...
where can i find the context menu?
i think i can use these lines to get to the directories i am looking for in settings.h

Code: [Select]

#define WPS_DIR     ROCKBOX_DIR "/wps"
#define THEME_DIR   ROCKBOX_DIR "/themes"

please direct me to the right place, if i'm posting / looking for help in the wrong spot.

Hmm...good idea, LOL. I think I'll work on it.

Hey, I've have an awesome prototype that's pretty much ready. When the prototype's complete, I'll see if I can put it in the tracker.

[BdN3504]

good to hear. so you've implemented it as a plug in?

[motionman95]

Not intentionally. I plan to convert to a viewer after I learn how a viewer plugin works.

yes we have a proper way of installing them finally but we never had a proper way to uninstalling them. this is a good idea.

[BdN3504]

Just to have it all in one place: Thanks to motionman95 there is a patch on the tracker which implements this feature.

[psycho_maniac]

could post the tracking number perhaps?

The post previous to yours links directly to it.

i would just like to anounce that  Teruaki Kawashima  has implemented exactly what i wanted when i started this thread and  he also added a fully costumizable theme deletion menu, which let's you choose which part of a theme you wish to keep/delete. i want to thank him with this post and point the core developers' attention to that task for svn consideration. Are there any changes needed to be done to get it comitted?

You should probably ask teru (who I don't think reads the forums).  I'm sure he'll commit it when he feels its done.

Thanks to everybody involved in developing this feature and especially Teruaki Kawashima for this.
