#5 Manual & download methods

[Nux]

If I choose download/manually load options then I get
only "MANUAL" and I think I should get buttons
"Download" - it would be a lot easier if it would be
like that (e.g. the problem of lang_easymod... wouldn't
exist).

Also the title is "Copy From [processed/]" (in EM
install) - but there are no files there (the folder
isn't created). I understand that it is not needed (as
there where no files changed), but it could lead to
some misunderstandings. Also this dir name shouldn't be
"[processed/]" as the processed is added anyway (e.g.
in Spelling Cow you get "processed/privmsg.php.txt")

Maybe this should be separated into two groups:

1. Processed files (with the text "MANUAL" and
[processed/] dir).
They would be the ones to copy them from processed files.

2. Files to copy (with the Download button and no dir
specification).
They would be downloaded as the backups are.

First, I should say I haven't checked this during the
EasyMOD installation process.

On the other hand, it worked as expected when installing a
MOD. ie. it offers buttons to download backup and processed
files.

Could you please clarify this for us? Thanks

PS: What do you mean with "(e.g. the problem of
lang_easymod... wouldn't exist"?

For reference, the problem related to this occurred here:
http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=21348#128204

The EM Installer says that the files are in the processed
directory while the files weren't even processed (changed),
but only supplied with the MOD (and in the COPY section/action).

The fix for this would be to:
1. Split the current table in to two tables (described above).
2. Don't show the name of the folder in the "files to copy"
part.

The problems is about not renaming lang_english_easymod.php
to lang_easymod.php and will probably frequently occur until
there is some solution for it (maybe in the rewrite).
This is not very important after the installation of EM
(because thankfully authors of MODs usually don't rename
files with the COPY action), but still this could be
improved. Maybe a download method for the files to copy
would solve this? The name of the downloaded files would be
name of the target in the COPY action.

On a side note: It would be really nice if a folder would be
made for both categories of files... But that's a different
request ;).
