PimpBot 2.0
after only two nights, i could finish a beta of pimpbot 2. i rewrote the core structure and added some nifty new features. since there's only one feature missing (actually just disabled) and i havn't tested this too much, i decided to publish this, in hope to get some feedback.

the new features:
* scans presets for used APEs (doesn't work with addborder.ape)
* remembers settings of previous compilations
* uninstaller (disabled in this beta)

the uninstaller was basically meant to keep the flood of bitmap files in the avs-directory in control.

if something doesn't work, please let me know. so far, i havn't experienced any trouble. enjoy!

should've mentioned in the docs, that this only works with the .jpg extension (not .jpeg or .jpe), since it's the most commonly used.

Is it possible we could have an option for a custom title bar text? The directory system is a bit awkward for making artistname\packname\ installers but the real annoyance is the grammatically incorrect title bar 'Jheriko Installer'
which results from me using this system.

Great work on the improved features though. I like the custom scripts, esp the minis one, I much prefer the compact, clean look and the functionality it has.

i think custom title-bars are only possible for installers using the modern interface (so not for minis). you refer to the "setup" part in the title-bar, want to leave that?

now i get it, however you are wrong. using the SymbiosIS you can call your pack whatever you like and still have the presets installed in the Jheriko subfolder. what should i say, read the manual :)

I had previuos version of PimpBot.
That was very slowly & did not support image formats.
But this version is very nifty & supports my favorite format JPEG format.
Thanks Yathosho.
