Generic media in install

[evilantal]

Does anyone else think the generic media files for Road Kings, Star Trek and Big Game that the installer places in the media directory are kind of annoying?

Every time I install a new version these reappear and I have to go and remove them all again, because they interfere with my setup.

Could it be made optional in the installer took copy these media files?

Yea, I agree. If we have those tables, we'll already have the files and if we don't have them, we don't need them. I'm guessing they were probably included just as a demo sort of thing.

Agree! Don't need these generic files... Most, if not everyone, who is about to install PinballX knows how to deal with files and table addition to the database. Especially when theres the Table Manager present.

Here is a batch file script, you can use to delete those files. Shouldn't be an issue once we stop doing daily installs

Create a file called "delete_media.bat" in the PinballX folder and copy the text below into. Double click on this file after every PinballX install to get rid of the default media files. NOTE: Remove any lines in the batch file if you happen to use that file.

This really isn't necessary, I'm sure it was an oversight on Tom's part. This should only behave this way on a new install to help demo layout and the table manager to new users and I'm sure he will fix it in an upcoming release.

Kudos on the bug report though.
