Autoupdate of AppImage and EXE Electron packages is broken #516

Closed Jaifroid closed 10 months ago

Due to the change of URL from file:// to https:// the autoupdate function thinks the app is a PWA, and only looks for updates on the PWA server, which is in fact localhost.

Code needs to be added to recognize this situation and start the Electron update.

False alarm! 😊
