Auto-update process should support static shortcuts #26

Hey Ex,

It would be awesome if when the decktracker updated it kept the same shortcut or whatever it might be called. Currently if you pin it or create a shortcut it will load an old version when started through there.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, let me know!

The auto-update system that I am using (https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows) doesn't support custom shortcuts. When it applies updates, it creates a new subfolder matching the new version (see here) and updates its own shortcut, but your custom shortcut won't be updated and will still point wherever you pointed it to.

The only way to avoid that is to use a custom installer and custom auto-update system. Your request is valid, but the amount of work required far outweighs the benefit gained.

Gotcha, fair enough! Thanks for the response.

Just a technicality but what you are asking for is a Dynamic shortcut not a static one. :) @extesy im gonna look at that installer and see if something can be done.
