hard to open the GUI on Windows #141

Closed MrLixm closed 6 days ago

MrLixm commented 1 week ago

Hello, I am interested to have a look at vkdt for my photography workflow. I am working on Windows 10 and tried to install the corresponding variant however it took me a lot of attempt to understand how to open the software. I tried checking for the documentation but there is no page simple as "how to open the software after installation".

Here is the steps I tried:

steps to reproduce

initial setup

❌ test1

❌ test2

❌ test3

F:\softwares\apps\vdkt\builds\0.8.0>start /B vkdt.exe

F:\softwares\apps\vdkt\builds\0.8.0>[gui] glfwGetVersionString() : 3.4.0 Win32 WGL Null EGL OSMesa MinGW-w64 [gui] monitor [0] Generic PnP Monitor at 0 0 [gui] monitor [1] Generic PnP Monitor at 1920 0 [gui] monitor [2] Generic PnP Monitor at 11 -1080 [gui] monitor [3] Generic PnP Monitor at -1920 0 [gui] vk extension required by GLFW: [gui] VK_KHR_surface [gui] VK_KHR_win32_surface [gui] no joysticks found [gui] you have more than 2 monitors attached! only the first two will be colour managed! [gui] no display profile file display.Generic PnP Monitor, using sRGB! [gui] no display profile file display.Generic PnP Monitor, using sRGB! [ERR] image could not be loaded!

- gui flash then close

## ✅ test4

After checking the `--help` command I try to provide a non-empty directory

cd /D F:\softwares\apps\vdkt\builds\0.8.0\ start /B vkdt.exe G:\personal\photo\workspace\dcim\2024\2024_04_13_salieres\dng


and it finally open. Quite hard to guess the software was expecting a directory to start with !

hmm thanks for reporting. i just tried 0.9.0 on a windows system. i don't know anything about windows, but just double clicking the exe worked here.

i have no idea about shells on windows (other than msys2..), but since you seem to have one open maybe you can start the exe with ./vkdt -d all for extended diagnostics? preferably the new release or nightly version.

do you have a Pictures directory in your home? or maybe it is trying to read some recently used image from /home/you/.config/vkdt/config.rc? or directory that was recently deleted? might be a good idea to delete any old config.rc you might have. if you find such a file, could you post it?

MrLixm commented 6 days ago

Hey, I didn't think of potential issues with an old config. However even after a delete of the config in C:\users\lcoll\vkdt I have the same issue.

hm okay still no idea what might be going on. could you try the current nightly package? https://github.com/hanatos/vkdt/releases/download/nightly/vkdt-rawler-0.9.99-10-g4e70b061-win64.zip at this point it doesn't contain any new features over the release, but some changed behaviour wrt file opening.

MrLixm commented 6 days ago

I confirm the version you sent above seems to work as expected ! Just downloaded and double clicked the exe and it worked right away.

hanatos commented 6 days ago

awesome, thanks for confirming. will probably roll a point release in the next couple of days (so i can start pushing feature branches to master, too..).
