More prominently feature setup instructions
I spent about 30min trying to figure out how to get the assembly linked into my project. Can you tell users that they need to set the installation namespace and also click the tickmark to install it? Did I miss that somewhere?
Welcome everyone who is willing to provide clearer steps in our documentation!
Can you tell users that they need to set the installation namespace
They don't need. Because they can freely use anything including global. Thus for convenience it will even activate an actual namespace in selected project by default. That's why it can be used without any changes in most cfg.
and also click the tickmark to install it?
Yes, to install you need to click install.
Did I miss that somewhere?
For the mentioned things we have this today:
- wiki: https://github.com/3F/DllExport/wiki/Quick-start
- screencast: Various cases in a few steps
Feel free to improve our wiki or open PR. Please don't forget that different configurations are required in different cases. Therefore I'd recommend only clarify your case for common use.
Thanks.
Thanks for the response. Do you mind if I prepare some small instructions to add to the main README? I checked the wiki and examples however none of them referenced the configuration GUI. I understood what most of the settings do but kept missing the tickmark next to the entire lower section that made sure the assembly would be installed into the project.
Putting it somewhere prominent is most helpful.
I think it will be nice to improve exactly the existing 'Quick-start' page in wiki because this page is referenced in many places as a starting point. And this is a good point to explain there some steps in details. Or better new page in addition to Quick-start (just to keep this page short to begin with)

This is a good moment to suggest your ideas into our GUI part. Just open PR and we'll review it together!
