Option for BezelProject-Windows to work in the background without interrupting #37

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

Please, make this thing work in he background. I dont need to actively see all the progress. I cannot even type the message here without being interrupted with some info window about moving directories or extracting bezels for specific console.

The pack is quite big and with slow internet and those pesky info windows your system will be locked up for hours.

P.S. that sodding info window .. interrupted my message almost 20 times. That's the most annoying thing i've seen in years.

I had to kill it with a Task Manager .. man, that thing annoyed the crap out of me..

I've just made a simple CMD script that takes the names of all repos (this can be used https://api.github.com/users/thebezelproject/repos?per_page=200) and gets the "clone_url" param, then executes 141 times in cmd sequentially and guess what - it runs in the background without messing with my work :D

I'm sure the implementation on BezelProject-Windows is way better with some config files injecting and so on, but that's a trade of i'm willing to pay to keep my sanity. O.o

P.S. ok, it returns only 99 repos as an API limitation and currently dont know a way around for this but still...

I could create a preferences setting to control the always on top behaviour of the status/update boxes. Do you have any recommendations on how it should read?
