<p><font face="Arial">Dear all,</font></p>
<p>When we install an external ATOMS toolbox, the installation does
<i>not</i> load it. Then the toolbox is not readily usable. The
loading is an extra operation to do afterward.<br>
The installation and removal should be improved in the next scilab
version: now the Toolboxes menu will be updated, without
restarting Scilab.<br>
<br>
What about going further? Don't we expect the just installed
toolbox to be right away usable -- that is to say, already loaded
at the end?<br>
If so, IMHO there are 2 situations:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>either the toolbox was not already installed, for no version
of it. Then its installation could end with automatically
loading it.</li>
<li>or another version of the toolbox is already installed. The
new installation is about another concurrent version. Then the
new installation could end with a warning message telling that
it is not loaded because of the other version.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Another improvement would be to be able to provide a
"noautoloading" option to atomsInstall().<br>
</p>
<p>What's your own feeling and usage about atomsInstall()?<br>
<br>
