qcovert needs dependencies: PySide6 and showinfm #97

Closed apatheticposture closed 2 years ago

apatheticposture commented 2 years ago

Installing covert from pip, a few dependencies weren't pulled into my system required for qcovert to run properly:

PySide6 (pip install pyside6)
showinfm (pip install show-in-file-manager)

These don't appear to be part of any default install on my Kubuntu system, at least.

Those dependencies are included in setup.py as extras when covert[gui] is specified. Did you install with this flag? I believe that pip installs the qcovert startup script even when not requested for, but doesn't then pull the requirements, and unfortunately that seems unavoidable unless the software is broken to separate packages.

Closing as this appears a setuptools/pip issue that cannot be easily resolved in Covert.
