I’ve updated my OSDAppChooser app to include a requested feature. Basically, someone requested the ability to have all applications chosen to be installed by default instead of no applications chosen. Thus below are the changes. Installation and usage instructions have not changed so please refer to the original post for those: OSD Application Chooser
Added features:
- Global Applications: These applications are added to the list of every application set. Use a GlobalApps tag to enclose them in the XML configuration file.
- Select All Applications: Select all applications in a chosen Application Set. A new property of the OSDAppChooser top tag was added to configure this option: selectAll.
- Select Specific Applications: A new property was added to each App tag: select. This controls whether or not it is selected for installation by default or not.
The example configuration file included in the new zip has examples of all of these.
I’m going to add the ability to have mandatory applications also but I can’t find a good way to represent them in the GUI. The best way would be to add the items to the list view but disable them, alas, the Windows built-in list view control does not have this ability so I need to explore other ways to show them. This isn’t a critical feature because it can be accomplished directly in a TS, but I think it does add value and have some benefits over putting it directly in a TS.
