Hello Chris,
regarding the uninstall; it should do following tasks: - delete the files that where installed - let the user choose for changed files - do not delete user created files
in the past 0.46 time the uninstaller removed all the files from the install directory (delete *.*). There where a few problems. - one user installed on c:\Program Files instead C:\Program Files\Inkscape ; very bad uninstall - some user add templates - some user changed the templates - you need to detect file change not by date/size but by content
I found a script on the nsis site that addresses those problems using the md5 sums. That script I modified and used it for the 0.46 uninstaller. Yes, it takes a very long time. But I think it is worth to address the problems above. Let me know how you can speed up the method.
Thanks again for your effort.
Adib.

Next increment. I did a few things, but mainly it's the icon, and installer images which I did. I also added a "DUMMYINSTALL" define which I used for quick testing - it skips all the sections and evaluates an empty one, so that it generates the installer very quickly. Having tried the inkscape logo and the cup from the splash in the welcome/finish page, I decided the cup looked better. I'd still like comments on the checksum method. I'm working on changing the whole uninstall log method too - it's very inefficient as it currently is.

I don't need a quote in my signature. It's hard enough surviving as it is without having to find a meaningful quote. Will you forgive me? Or don't you read this bit?
