Settings import and export

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

I am looking at the export and import feature for the settings. Looks like it's not exporting all settings? Specifically Administrator rights and other dangerous settings > allow custom command line arguments. I am hoping to have PowerShell do lots of the work including importing a bundle that contains pre and post commands. Are there options I can add to the JSON that would enable that?

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

Also, is there a command I can run after importing the ubundle, that unigetui can install the packages in the bundle?

[Martí Climent (marticliment)]

I am afraid that, for security reasons, import/export does not import/export dangerous settings. See https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/blob/main/cli-arguments.md to check how to enable/disable them programmatically

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

Actually these two do not seem to do anything? It does not toggle the box.

--enable-secure-setting AllowPrePostInstallCommands
--enable-secure-setting AllowImportingPrePostInstallCommands

Also, can you clarify this setting?

It does say IGNORE the commands, so I should leave that untoggled. But below, Allowing them when importing bundles cannot be toggled until the ignore one is?

If I wanted to use pre and post commands, and be able to import them in a bundle, of the 4 toggles for that, which ones should be toggled?

You need to enable "Allow running pre-post install commands" and disable "Ignore custom pre-post install commands when importing them from a bundle"

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

That is what I was thinking. So how to I enable the very bottom one to allow importing commands when importing bundles?

[Martí Climent (marticliment)]

I am looking at the code, and I think I messed up a text label. I will get back to you with more info in a few minutes

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

No worries. Thank you for all your help!

--enable-secure-setting AllowImportingPrePostInstallCommands

You need to run the command as administrator, and restart UniGetUI for the changes to take effect

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

I am running a terminal window as admin and Uni has been closed when I run it.

--enable-secure-setting AllowCLIArguments
--enable-secure-setting AllowImportingCLIArguments

These two work. The other two do not toggle the box. I am running this

Start-Process "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\UniGetUI\UniGetUI.exe" -ArgumentList "--enable-secure-setting AllowCLIArguments"
Start-Process "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\UniGetUI\UniGetUI.exe" -ArgumentList "--enable-secure-setting AllowImportingCLIArguments"
Start-Process "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\UniGetUI\UniGetUI.exe" -ArgumentList "--enable-secure-setting AllowPrePostInstallCommands"
Start-Process "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\UniGetUI\UniGetUI.exe" -ArgumentList "--enable-secure-setting AllowImportingPrePostInstallCommands"

[Martí Climent (marticliment)]

You are doing it right. However, I think documentation is wrong. You need to use the names in blue (enum values), not the strings, when using custom command-line arguments

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

Yup those ones work.

Also, it toggles all 4 when running it enabled. You said above to leave the ignore one untoggled? I guess I am confused by that one setting saying ignore?

edit: you are looking at the text label. Thanks again!

Brodieman (@Brodieman),

There was an incorrect translation label. If you quit and restart UniGetUI two or three times it should pick up the new translations, fixing the issue and making things more clearer. Additionally, I'll update docs on which keys should be used in a moment.

Thansk for pointing the issue out!

[Martí Climent (marticliment)]

With new translations, it should be more clearer. Toggle on a switch to enable a feature. No more negated logic

[Brodieman (Brodieman)]

Thank you so much!
