Topic: [FeedBack] 3rd party names vs. Base names

Should there not be a way to see the difference from 3rd party packs and Base packs. They both use the same naming convention.

Base > DP_Chipset_wint5_x86-32_902.7z

3rd Party > DP_USB_wint5_x86-32_101.7z


If your a noob like myself, just looking at the files names.......can't tell.

How about putting a 3 in there somewhere to show it's 3rd party pack ......>  DP3_USB_wint5_x86-32_101.7z    or  DP_3P_USB_x86-32_101.7z


just saying....

That's actually not a bad idea.  I don't know however the best way to implement it.

Well, the names of the 10 core packs are stable so anything that isn't a core pack is by definition a 3pp.

Re: [FeedBack] 3rd party names vs. Base names

and the voting begins...

Ideas?

the DP_ part is and the platform id is currently hard coded...
so other anything other than that it would be easy wink

DP_3P-PackName_x86-32_Version.7z  is a good idea

Good idea OverFlow, does make sense to be able to distinguish between main DriverPacks and 3rd Party Packs especially like myself you keep practically all DriverPacks in 1 folder.

Re: [FeedBack] 3rd party names vs. Base names

How about something simple like DP_3_*.7z

Re: [FeedBack] 3rd party names vs. Base names

Just a cosmetic issue. Could you make the Finisher box a little wider as B14 reads B1, cutting off the last digit.

Looking forward to the new versions with 7z 9.2.
