Hi Ewenloy, I purchased your tool two weeks ago and have some problems and/or suggestions.

  1. Switching language to english has to be done on every start of your installer. Would be cool if language settings could be saved and loaded on startup.
  2. Would also be cool if the settings for all the 4 steps could be saved for the last generated installer.
  3. The generated installer has Russian text although I have english settings (see screenshot).
  4. After successful compilation the tool resets the Compile window and the log is gone. Would be helpful to have that saved.
  5. Might be good to create a separate directory under "builds" directory for each new installer. Directory name should be the game name plus version number (similar to the generated output name). That would allow developers to have a demo installer and a full version installer in the same subdirectory. Then you could also save the compilation log file in that subdirectory.
  6. Might be helpful to also save the generated NSIS script for each installer in the same subdirectory.
  7. Finally it would be helpful for automated builds to start your nsis-builder from a command line with stored settings (see step 2) or parameters (version number, input directory, etc.) to automate the build pipeline to create installers for different versions (Demo, Full Steam version, Full itch.io version, etc.).

Anyways, nice tool but the biggest issue/bug for me right now is the russian text in the compiled installer which makes your tool unusable for me right now.

Finally do you plan to support other languages?

Cheers,

Thomas

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and for purchasing the tool I really appreciate it!

I'm currently away on a business trip, so I can't dive into the code right this moment. But please rest assured, I will definitely take a close look at all your suggestions as soon as I'm back.

The Russian text issue in the compiled installer is clearly the most critical one, and I'll make it a top priority to fix. I also really like your ideas about saving settings, per-installer subfolders, and command-line support for automated builds - those are all great improvements that I plan to implement in future updates.

Thanks again for your support and patience. I'll get back to you as soon as I have news!

Cheers
