Feature Request: Installer #37

Open cyklon73 opened 9 months ago

cyklon73 commented 9 months ago

An installer that installs Fextify in the program folder and "registers" it as an app (create a link in the Start Menu folder for windows). It would also be practical if the installer could also be used for updating. (the installer could download new versions directly from github, and also automatically recognize a new version through the commit hash). It would also be handy if a message was displayed in fextify when a new version is available. (this can be found out by the commit hash as mentioned before. The current commit hash is simply saved in a file, and when checking, the saved one is compared with the current one from github).

I understand that it would be great to have an installer for Fextify that also notifies when a new version releases, unfortunately however I don't have free time at all to implement one. If someone is willing to create it via a pull request, I'd happily merge it & update the binaries in the releases.

I can create such an installer for you, but I would do it in Java. I hope it's no problem

I have just seen that there is already an installer. Does the installer automatically take the latest version from github, or can it also update it? if not, I would create an installer with these functions

The installer is the default windows wizard installer that comes when you compile a Rust program (I think)

Sadly I don't have much free time to manage this repository, however you can feel free to create your own installer for Fextify

All right, I'll work on that. But with the next release, can you also put the raw windows exe in the release so that my installer can download the exe?
