Saving Multiple Files

I am trying to make a launcher for FSViewer. It saves folders and files in the directory. How do I make code to move it to the Data folder.

I would suggest checking out the code in NotePad++ for this item.

SkipSplashScreen:
		;=== Check for data files
		IfFileExists "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\config.xml" GetPassedParameters ;=== settings already in program directory
		IfFileExists "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\config.xml" MoveSettings ;=== settings found in data directory
MoveSettings:
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\config.xml" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\config.xml"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\contextMenu.xml" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\contextMenu.xml"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\ConvertExt.enc" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\ConvertExt.enc"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\ConvertExt.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\ConvertExt.ini"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\ConvertExt.lng" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\ConvertExt.lng"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\insertExt.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\insertExt.ini"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\LightExplorer.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\LightExplorer.ini"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\NPPTextFX.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\NPPTextFX.ini"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\QuickText.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\QuickText.ini"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\session.xml" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\session.xml"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\shortcuts.xml" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\shortcuts.xml"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\SpellChecker.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\SpellChecker.ini"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\stylers.xml" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\stylers.xml"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\nativeLang.xml" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\nativeLang.xml"
		Rename "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\plugins\NPPTextFX.ini" "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\plugins\NPPTextFX.ini"

Hm...

Maybe a *.ini *.xml *.lng *.enc would be faster and easier to manage.

Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.

Default Data Folder

Could I put it in the Default Data folder and add code to save files there and move them to the data directory.

May the Shwartz be with you

		IfFileExists "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\config.xml" MoveSettings ;=== settings found in data directory
		
		;=== Copy the default settings files
		StrCmp $DEFAULTLOCATION "true" "" GetPassedParameters ;=== if not default location, user is on their own
		CreateDirectory "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY"
		CopyFiles /SILENT "$EXEDIR\App\DefaultData\settings\*.*" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\"
		CreateDirectory "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\plugins"
		CopyFiles /SILENT "$EXEDIR\App\DefaultData\settings\plugins\*.*" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\plugins\"
		CreateDirectory "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\plugins\config"
		CreateDirectory "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\plugins\NPPTextFX"
		CopyFiles /SILENT "$EXEDIR\App\DefaultData\settings\plugins\NPPTextFX\*.*" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\plugins\NPPTextFX"

Notice how it checks.
