the menu options fly by too fast is there any way to slow them down? i tried using sleep but instead of displaying whats happening it says "executing sleep"

Add a display="..." to the sleep with the display of the previous tag.

I don't see why people would want to pause execution.....

so we can see what its actually doing

edit

i just re read that, do you mean add display="..." to
<execute>
<program>sleep</program>
</execute> ?

Yup, something like this:

<execute display="zzzzzzzzzzzz...">
<program>sleep</program>
<arguments>2000</arguments>
</execute>

thanks but that will add "executing zzzzz...." i want sleep to be silent and have it display the things it has done before excuting sleep, if that makes any sense

Not possible atm. The workaround would be to take a seperate batch and put the installer and the sleep in there. :/

It's not possible in the way that you want it, nor will it be possible at all.
XPlode clears the display before going to another plugin, and it's my view that people will want things to run as fast as is possible, not stopping to show some information that in all seriousness, is irrelevant.

You're the only person that seems to want it to pause, if I get a LOT more requests I'll consider it, but at this stage, not going to happen.

If I may interject something here...

I would suggest that you use the /log command line option if you want to see what it's doing.

xplode.exe /log:"%SYSTEMROOT%\XPlode.log"

That would be the way that I would do it. With the log file, you can then study it for as long as you want to, and if any errors happen, they will also be in the log file. (Along with commands executed, status messages, etc...)
