Let user chose what to extract when using the minimal install feature

Open ElPumpo opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

At the moment we only extract the following files / directories

string[] filesToExtract = { "Display.Driver", "NVI2", "EULA.txt", "license.txt", "ListDevices.txt", "setup.cfg", "setup.exe" };

The optimal solution would be a GUI with all the packages that the driver offers, the driver file content has already been documented over at the wiki

I'd love to see this feature, too as I rely on Optimus for my laptop. However I don't need Experience and all that other stuff.

Do you got any wish how the interface should look like @ElPumpo ? This enhancement is the next thing on my list

I was thinking a gui with checkboxes for all.. addons. Be aware that many 'addons' have dependencies that must be taken care of in.

There is software that does this already: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-driver-slimming-utility.html

Instead of creating the code again, maybe ask the author if you could merge his program into the update checker, or launch his software after a download. What I do when an update is available is download it using TinyNvdiaUpdateChecker, then run NVSlimmer with the exe downloaded, checkbox what I want, and click install.

Its a matter of creating a gui for people to select the components they want installed. I'd never require another program for that... Also Ive been extremly busy with other projects the past year :/

Apparently you can get the dependencies of components from reading nvi files
