How does InstallerFX work ?

The InstallerFX works like this:

  1. InstallerFX takes a copy of the picture and call it picturename.in_use
  2. InstallerFX reads the prefs file.
  3. InstallerFX calculates and display the picture and InstallerFX moves the Installer window and move the window to front. If it is an animation the anim will go to the end of the loop number, or if the picture is being replaced.
  4. InstallerFX makes a Filenotify on the orginal file and waits for the file to change status. If it is an animation or slideshow the filenotify is in the animation routine, because the filenotify of the file have to be active during the animation.
  5. InstallerFX closes the Window
  6. InstallerFX deletes the copy picturename.in_use
  7. If the picture does not exist anymore after the filenotify the program quits. If the picture exists then InstallerFX goes to Point 1 again.
