Title: On Demand?
Post by: _blue4meridian on March 01, 2012, 01:21:18 PM

What would it take to make a On Demand that would after closing an On Demand application remove the Application menu entry and associated cloop?

Just because an item is ondemand does not mean it cannot be a dependency of another package that is loaded after that item is launched.

Better to see what SCM is for.

I'm not sure if I'm on the right page with this... but here goes...
So if I launch a qmmp SCM  (lots of libs, and resulting cloops) and then close it, that application and it's dependencies (the unneeded cloops of course) are removed?

If you close it not.

If you uninstall SCM itself will diseppear from the working system. Theoretically SCM is Self Containded with no dependencies, except big ones like Gtk2. These are not unmounted authomatically.

Please read SCM topic.

Yes I have read the topic.  In any case, with a SCM is it possible to do the opposite of On Demand... basically a type of "remove" (not uninstall) On Close and if not what would it take to make it possible?  I might have it wrong but the SCM's seem like deal breakers in that they involve an uninstall and the resulting loss of settings.  My thinking is along the lines of a reverse On Demand using tcz's.  All of this of course, for the purpose of staying within the 255 cloop limit.
