icons, splash and hooks

[ivan baktsheev <do...@gmail.com>]

hello

i have some projects which use cordova 2.x and i want to migrate to cordova 3.0. i'm very happy with the project format change and cordova cli, but some issues are very frustrating.

1) icons and splash screens won't copy from res folder

i created an after_prepare hook script (https://gist.github.com/apla/6179863) and assets go to the proper folders. probably, this can be added to the cordova cli. are there any reasons not to include this functionality into cordova?

but this added other two issues:

2) hook scripts know nothing about current command platform. for example, when i run "cordova prepare ios" i don't need assets from android copied. i propose to make a hook script reading an environment or the second command line parameter to get a current platform, would that work?

3) hook is not running on windows, and i have to rename my hook to "something.js", windows will run this script via cscript.exe. i think, cordova could read the first line of a script file (#!/bin/env node) and launch a proper command, or interpret every hook on windows as a nodejs script; in this case we would be able to get cross-platform hooks.

thank you!
