Custom icon with ensymble 'simplesis' command

[janekw_]

So how do you do it? 'py2sis' command accepts '--icon' parameter, why 'simplesis' doesn't?

Nevermind. I guess 'simplesis' can only be used for some resource-packaging, since it doesn't create or register the application, it can't set an icon and can't set caps.

So,
I have a python application with resources I want to ensymble. These resources have to be in \resource\apps folder (icons, database). My idea is to 'py2sis' python files with --caps and --icon options, then 'simplesis' the resources so they're installed in the required directory, then 'mergesis' them.

That sounds a bit complicated to me. Perhaps someone has a simpler idea?

Here's one way:

1. Generate a SIS file with the py2sis command of Ensymble.
2. Extract the files in it with SISInfo.
3. Add your resource files and whatnot in suitable places.
4. Use the simplesis command of Ensymble to put it all back together.

You need to do steps 1 and 2 only once if you don't change the icon, captions or UID. You can directly edit the Python files located under "private\<UID>\".
