Closed jnstllng closed 5 years ago

jnstllng commented 5 years ago

I already struggled in builkding a Windows Installer for QTodoTxt, no it happens also for QTodoTxt2. Is there already somethings thta can be used? When I just run it with my Python installation, it does not integrate nicely in the taskbar...

I also tried to make a windows installer last week because I don't like the mentioned approach in the version 2 readme. It is a big bunch of data one has to download and it is complicated. Did you tried that BTW? (Does it fixes your problem)

Since the rewrite for version 2 the py2exe approach from version 1 does not work anymore. There is apy2exe version for python 3 that we might use.

Can you try the installer I made recently? There are issues inside the app. Please ignore them. I would like to know if the app itself can be installed and starts properly.

Find the installer here and a portable version, too. https://github.com/QTodoTxt/QTodoTxt2/releases/tag/2.0.0

FYI: I've built the installer following the instructions found in packaging/PACKAGING.md, it builds and installs fine on my Windows 10

Thanks for verifying that the installer works not only on my machine.
