Question: how to set the shortcut folder #100

Closed grandtiger closed 8 years ago

grandtiger commented 8 years ago

I managed to create an installer with this tool. However, the shortcut of my app is put under "GitHub, Inc", and I couldn't figure out how to change it to something else. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot!

+1, and my shortcut name is "Electron.exe" for some reason, when everywhere in my app, I've named it MYAPP

+1, same as @kumarharsh, my shortcut name is "Electron.exe" and as @grandtiger it is under "GitHub, Inc" folder.

Find a beginning of solution in this issue,

"The Desktop shortcut info will be based on the EXE's File Properties (i.e. right click on file => Properties), electron-packager lets you change this (or a bunch of other Electron tooling things)"

This is the solution use the version-string parameter of electron packager and this will solve this issue.
