I know of no ready-made program that totally automates this process with one click. I've seen complex and bloated utilities to do tasks like this. But you're a good little boy, you made your backups, right? In fact deleting files from any application and break stuff. When you run the comparison it will highlight the duplicates in both folders - it should also give you the opportunity to delete these files from your orbiter install, as those would the "duplicate" files you no longer want. Now point the dupefinder at this temporary directory. You then unpack the addon to a bogus temporary directory. What you do is point it at your current orbiter install. You can use a Duplicate Finder program here. Well, the only solution I can immediately fathom is opening up the addon's zip file and manually deleting files one by one. And X addon has been installed for quite some time already. And you decide you no longer want X addon anymore. I tend to install my add-ons in batches so before I begin I make sure I have a copy of a proven orbiter installation I can fall back on if something goes awry.ģ- Let's say you have 2-year old orbiter install going. And use something like to instantly revert back after you're done testing. This is where you keep a "golden" copy of orbiter as a refernce for a filysync program. I always keep a base install for reference and testing. It lists additions, deletions, and files that have changed during the monitoring period.Ģ- Alternatively you can just keep multiple orbiter installs around. Now you see all the changes your activities have caused both in the registry and your orbiter directory. This is how you use it.Ī) Point it at the folder under examination.ī) Click "shot 1" It records the existing files and registry entries in a text/html file.Ĭ) Install addon, run orbiter, do whatever. And it does nothing but a before and after list. You can treat it as an add-on itself, unzip and copy.
This nice thing is that it doesn't install itself or anything. It outputs simple to read Text or HTML file listing changes between now and when you run the program under scrutiny. It looks at registry settings AND directories you specify. It is small, and portable, and stupid simple. This is now I manage my addons, with #1 and #2 being the most convenient.ġ- I use something called Regshot.
