Mac or CLI version ? #187

Closed charafsalmi closed 1 year ago

Hi,

Is there a mac version planned? I tried to make it work using Wine, but without any success.

Or maybe a simple Unix (meaning any mac/linux) CLI version?

Best regards.

I'm afraid not. Linux or Mac would require a completely new platform independent user interface. AAX Audio Converter and Book Lib Connect are written with Windows Forms. It's the easiest package to work with and actually quite powerful if you know how your way around. But it's Windows only. For the the other platforms it would mean Avalonia instead, and Avalaonia is, like all XAML-based toolkits, much more complex, if you want to do it bit more than just basic stuff. I had to work with Avalonia for a Linux project but never became friends with it, despite all its appealing theory like MVVM and ReactiveUI.

I will convert this topic to the discussion section.
