Edit More Build Properties Programmatically

Status: New

Right now, we can only edit a few select build specification properties, such as Icon, Name, and DisplayName. I think it would be very useful to be able to edit more of these properties programmatically.

 

Things I would like to be able to set/read via property nodes:

Build specification name

Target filename

Destination directory

Build specification description

everything under "Version Information"

 

Other items would be useful as well, but those are the ones I care about the most.

Well, I'd like to change my Idea. It turns out that you *can* programmatically edit these items. It's just not intuitive to do so. My new idea is:

 

Move Build Specification Properties into Property Nodes

Currently Build Specification properties are something that are stored in an xml file. I'd like to see them in a nice simple Property Node.

 

For those interested, you can see how to edit these items in my post on the standard forums:
