Edit Name, Description and Flags

for nuhi, garlin
Always working with multilanguage ISOs derived from "isolated" versions, each time I have to proceed, with the various isolated versions, to modify using the right key:
  • Edit à Name,
  • Edit à Description,
  • Edit à Flags
a total of 3 times, for each version.


I was wondering if, if it were possible ..., to be able to have, such as an overall table, where to modify the 3 items simultaneously in a single arc of continuity, such as:

(Edit - Characteristics)

Name​
Description​
Flags​
<New Name>​
<New Description>​
<New Flags>​
[Reset]​
​
[Save]​

where to edit “Name”, “Description” and “Flags” at the same time.
 
rename_image.bat
Code: 
@echo off
wimlib-imagex info %1 %2 -image-property DISPLAYNAME=%3 --image-property DESCRIPTION=%4 --image-property FLAGS=%5

Code: 
rename_image.bat install.wim 11 "Windows 12 Pro N for Workstations" "Windows 12 Pro N for Workstations" "ProfessionalWorkstationN"
The image can't be mounted when wimlib-imagex is updating.

I suppose NTLite could display a single window with all three editing fields, but that would encourage inexperienced users to screw up instead of taking their time.

as always... you are a nest of irreplaceable resources.
As soon as I'm home I'll try it and if anything I'll consult you.

I remain of the idea that even the inexperienced have to make mistakes to learn so the idea of the Table could be carried forward but let's hear if anything nuhi

Thank you
 
When you first open the folder inside the NTLite you can see it there just right click on the image and you will see "edit name, edit description and edit flag"

Did you read the question? He wants to edit all of them at the same time.

Please clarify me what is "flag". For example I found that WinPE in boot.WIM has the flag 9. And winSetup in the same WIM has the flag 2. Thank you in advance.
 
For install.wim, Flags is the image's SKU (edition) like Home, Professional, Education, Enterprise, HomeN, HomeSingleLanguage.
This value is not intended for editing, unlike the Name & Description fields.

boot.wim includes two versions of WinPE environment: PE (no Setup) & Setup. The normal PE is provided for reference, if you're building a custom PE using the optional ADK WinPE add-ons, or writing scripts for installation or recovery.

The boot manager needs to know which PE image to run by default. Setup is always flag 2, and (plain) PE is flag 9. You would switch the flags in order to boot from the other image. In most cases, you never need to touch the Flags.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
It's not quite clear to me what the flag/flag functions/features are/were and all the use cases of.

But I still don't know what flag 9 for Win PE in boot.WIM is.

I may be wasting your time with stupid questions. So maybe you can give me a clear source of information on this issue?
 
None of the WIM flags are officially documented. Flag 2 marks an image as bootable. You can't have two bootable images at the same time, since there's no boot startup menu for WinPE. The other images must be marked Flag 9.

There is no need to play around with Flags, unless you're not using WinPE Setup image and using a customized PE image.

O, thank you very much, it's completely clear for me now.
