Attributes inheritance in Files and DirFiles about wixsharp HOT 3 CLOSED

The responsibility of the wild card based entities are aggregating files but not initializing them. That is why the current implementation does not allow assignment of the File properties. Though I do like your idea. Can you please log it as a dedicated enhancement request so it is not lost.

Until it's implemented please use the following technique:

project.ResolveWildCards();

project.AllFiles
       .Where(f => f.Feature.Name == "Feature1")
       .ForEach(f => f.AttributesDefinition = "File:DiskId=1;Dir:AnotherAttribute=Value");

project.AllFiles
       .Where(f => f.Feature.Name == "Feature2")
       .ForEach(f => f.AttributesDefinition = "File:DiskId=2;Dir:AnotherAttribute=Value");

As for Media element it is currently encoded as a single element per product. This is a clear limitation and so I labeled your post as a bug.

Though I would rather encourage you to use MediaTemplate instead of Media as it seems to be a more attractive option:

project.WixSourceGenerated += doc =>
{
    doc.Root.Select("Product")
            .AddElement("MediaTemplate", "CabinetTemplate=cab{0}.cab, CompressionLevel=mszip");
};

Created issue for enhancement as required.
Please say me if it is too much detailed if you prefer only a single "question" for enhancement request, if I need to do an other one.

Don't worry. I have already processed your issue report and the fix was done even yesterday. It's all good. Txs
