This package implements project templates. Installing this package in the IDE adds a category to the 'File-New' dialog: 'Template projects' It also adds a 'New project from Template' menu item to the 'File' menu, as well as a 'project template options' menu under the 'Tools' menu. This menu item is visible only if the templates directory (see next paragraph) exists and contains at least one template subdirectory. In the 'Project template options', a directory can be selected. This directory should contain a subdirectory per template. Each template directory contains a template for a project: A collection of files which will be copied and used as a new project. During the copy, the package will scan the file/directory names and the contents of the files for variable substitution: __VARNAME__ will be replaced by the value of a variable VARNAME By default, the engine knows 2 variables: ProjDir : The directory where the new project will be created. ProjName : The name of the project. Additional variables must be defined in a file called 'project.ini' in the directory of the project. This is a file in Windows INI format. The section [Variables] will be scanned for variable names: [Variables] VarName1=Description 1 VarName2=Description 2 The variables found will be presented with their description in a dialog, and the user must present a value for the variables. The 'project.ini' file can contain a second section, called 'Project', which can contain some info about the project. The following keywords can be found there: ProjectFile Any file that has a name equal to this (no extension) is treated specially, it is renamed to the project name. That is ProjectFile=example will replace example.lpi example.lpr and example.cfg with the name given by the user. By default, the value of ProjectFile is assumed to be 'project'. (note that the .ini file is not copied) Name Name of the template Author Author of the template Description Short (one-line) description of the project Recurse A boolean value (1/0) which tells the engine to recurse in subdirectories or not. Exclude Comma separated list of filename extensions which should not be searched for keyword subsitution. The Name and description will be presented in the 'File-New' dialog.
