Automatic install when download?

There is your answer.

Aside from that I shouldn't have to delete items from my install list everytime I download something. Unlike most people here I download and read the code before I even consider installation. I also install stuff for other people upon request...such modifications would be useless if they're sitting in my install list.

What it really comes down to is the fact that a lot of people here are worried about some title under their user name. If you can't deal with not getting enough 'clicks' you might want to think about why you release stuff here in the first place. They are just numbers...and if I could I'd had all the install counts for my hacks set to zero just to prove my point.

But that is different, you can just download and install the files from here without accually marking it as installed where as on your computer, you cannot use the application without running the installer unless you wish to waste your time and unpack it then install it manually, which is just stupid.
