Files in product.xml

[hambil]

I would like to be able to specify in the product.xml files that need to be uploaded.

<files>
    <file destination="$xml/cpnav_myproduct.xml"/>
    <file destination="$admincp/doadminstuff.xml"/>
    <file destination="$images/mynewimage.gif"/>
</files>

I would then like the end-user to be able to import a zip instead of just the product.xml. The files would be unzipped and placed in the proper directory.

This has the advantage of simplifying the process of installing hacks, and eliminating the need for FTP access. Further, the files can be automatically removed on uninstall.

Wouldn't this be something for vBulletin.com forums?

Yeah, I should post it there I guess.
