Make this an app #6

Closed mre closed 4 years ago

mre commented 6 years ago

Many people don't know how to use the command-line. Nevertheless, they would still like to use this project for recording time-lapses. Would be nice if we made a runnable macOS app out of the code here. This way, people could simply start the application with a click and start recording.

Instructions here: https://py2app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I'd like to solve this.

mre commented 6 years ago

Sure, that would be very nice of you. Please go ahead @mepda 😊

This is now done in master. 🎉 The first app release after 10 years. 😆 Updated the docs accordingly. @cmangla, @mepda, @gkpln3: please test it if you find the time.

Will do, great job!

cmangla commented 4 years ago

Wow, great job @mepda and @mre !

I am guessing the main commit related to this issue (#6) is 6a1b942 ? Just wanted to note that here for records, since I couldn't find a related pull request.

I did some very basic tests and it ran flawlessly!

After unzipping, I ran the app, and MacOS gave the usual warnings about it being unsigned. We might want to document how to allow the application to run from the "Security & Privacy" preferences pane.

I'm using a dark background and so the new white icons were a charm. The notifications were also great.

While reviewing, I found that we've accidentally hardcoded the path to ffmpeg in one place. See issue #29 and PR #30 .

This is fixed now. 🎉 Thanks for all the input folks. Closing.
