WeBeRiO Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks for your program and your work in this utility. Let me advise you a more pleasant visual changes.An USB drive of 8 Gb or higer. Both buttons go in the same place, centered. Better a single phrase in the same row, without dividing.

I have worked with a professional designer for the UI of tinu, my friend Francesco, which is one of the design teachers of the european ios developer academy, for the license thing i can agree with you, in fact that was a point with which i and Francesco where not too much happy about, fpr the proceed button i have put it side ways because we are in a desktop environment, so you have to give the impression of walking trougth a process and when it comes to desktop interfaces you have to think it a bit like in the 90' so we decided to put it sideways, but i will rediscuss this with Francesco next week if i can, because that screen has also a doule useage if you open tinu from terminal in the booted usb installer, there will be another screen first (i will say more on that later with the final release, but you can already try this if you want, it does also allows for another cool thing too) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITzTravelInTime Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 For all the others i have also updated the source code in the development branch of the TINU's github repo, so i suggest to take a look at it, i have added some things: - the new window shown in a previous post which allows to download an installer app useing the app store - if you use tinu to install mac os now you ahve also to agree to apple's macOS license, you have to do it after you have choosen an installer app to use. - added tool tips for drives and installer apps in the screens in which you have to choose them (tool tips for the drives will have a couple of small improvements in the next source code update) - fixed some potential issues with the progress bar in the installer creation screen - minor improvements and changements Here is the github repo if you want to take a look at the update source code: https://github.com/ITzTravelInTime/TINU/tree/development Download of a compiled version will be available shortly. Here is the download of the second pre-release: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/nvzss51qcieynve/TINU.zip changelog available in the previous post: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to have this option in the future updates? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Please, can you explain better? Tinu currently does allows to use an usb installer to be used as a usb drive to create a new insterr or an installer with a different version, and also if you want to update your installer from 10.13.2 to 10.13.3 for example, you still need the mac os installer app for that version, you can't just install combo updates in an existing usb installer, you have to need the full installer app for that particular version of mac os, because tinu works using apple's createinstall media which is app-verion specific, so i have to use the executable from the installer app itself and it can't do combo updates or other stuff, just recreate the entire installer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammoune78 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks for replying, currently the app doesn’t have the option to let you download the full OS Installer from the App Store in case that you have an installer on the Applications folder, so i have to delete it and relaunch the app again to be able to have this option!In other words, it will not ask me if i want to download El Capitan if Sierra is in the applications folder!Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's not how it is supposed to work the new window with app downloads has been created only if you not have any installer apps in your system and to give you a littele help getting one, it's not supposed to ask you which version you want and then give it to you, and also download are always from the mac app store, because it mey be illegal if i provvide to you a download for that apps which is not from the app store. but i can make something about what are you saying, to let you get an installer app from the beginning if do not have one or want an older version (by getting it from the app store), maybe i can make a "get an installer app" button or something like that into the requrements screen, but i have to discuss it with my friend who helps me with the design, as always i will keep you updated with the progress.

Capture d’écran 2018-03-19 à 11.26.42.png.zip the process is not finished, the progress bar is in an indeterminate state, bacause it's waiting for the actual creation process to finish, and also there is a notification at the end of the process, but yes that progress bar looks too similar to a full progress bar, so i am considering doing something else, because when it goes into an indetermante state, i have no data to determinate the % of completetion of the process, so i have to use a system which indicates that something is going on but, not at which % it is, that why as first i have dcided to do an indeterminate progress bar, but that's just a comethical thing Edited March 19, 2018 by ITzTravelInTime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITzTravelInTime Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Do you heve any other improvemets and suggestion for the app? Tomorrow (related to italy time) i will work on the design so i will already work on the progress bar thing and if and how to add a "get an installer app" button to the requirements screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammoune78 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I don't have any suggestion, it's because you touched al the things and your app is absolutely perfect, design and the work! I've made an USB Installer with your app, and what i can tell you is you did a very nice and clean job my MAN, keep up similar work, and we need more app from your beautiful hands! This is my personal comment, maybe some users have suggestions! Cheers ITzTravelInTime ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITzTravelInTime Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Here is an update about the design changements to the app, and note that it's still work in progress. The 1ST screenshot shows that i have added a "get an installer app" button to the requrements screen of tinu, but i have to better implement it into the design of this interface, i will keep you updated about that The 2ND screenshot shows how will appear the "choose an usb thumb drive" screen if no usable usb drives are detected The 3RD screenshot shows how will appear the "choose an installer app" screen of the app when no usable installer apps are detected in the system, compared to the previous screenshot i have redesigned the screen to make it like the previous one and i have also added a bigger button to open an installer app from a custom location, but when installer apps are detetced, this button will be smaller and in the center of the window , aligned with other buttons in the bottom of the window. The 4TH screenshow shows that now the "download a macOS installer app fom the app store" window now is a dialog window which appers as a sheet from the main window and also some text has been changed For the progress bar thing i am still working on it, but i have to finish some other ui things first.

ITzTravelInTime Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Because tomorrow i have a free morning i will do a late nigth coding session, with: - A design sketch of a new screen of the app - My 2 brand new usb drives for cavias to test with TINU - The usb-A adapter for my macbook - My macbook pro 2017 15'' (i prefer it over laptop hackintoshes because i need that mac os works well and also with all the features, and with a long battery life, and i have also got it with an huge discount ove rthe official apple's price, of course i have several hackintosh machines, but my macbook is more confortable for some kind of works like using xcode, while my hackintosh machines are great for exaple for recording and video editing, i make a combined use of both) - A pen to make other Sketches, as always made peper sketces first before working on the actual app - And a cup with my logo on it to drink during the nigth I will finish some redesign of a couple of screens and also i will try to implement a brand new screen.

Do you know why installer default language is italian? this is very strange, because tinu did not uses anything to force a specific language for the installer, maybe you have to check your clover options to make sure that into the gui settings the langue is not "it" and instead is your langue or it's blank Edited March 26, 2018 by ITzTravelInTime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo9_r9 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Language is definitely blank. I have to keep changing language to english in installer. When new update comes it just changes back to italian for some of the things in launchpad. Folder other text changes to Altro or something and i had rename that. In finder tags are in italian. Maybe i need to create an installer again. How can I avoid this? Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
