Can you try to run the Windows build @touwys?

Are you able to locate this build by yourself? See #160 for guidance.

Are you able to locate this build by yourself? See #160 for guidance. Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by that? There seems to be a contradiction in terms? If I am to download the Windows build at the link provided, all I see there, is this /404_error[https://github.com/Borewit/listFix/suites/12402382258/artifacts/659460398]/. Otherwise, why, where do I have to locate it?

I tried to download the build, via the link, with another account.
I got the 404 error (not found) initially as well. It required you to be signed into GitHub. After I signed in, it worked.

This how to access the Windows build artifacts:

screen-capture.webm

The behavior of the console is configurable:

listFix/build.gradle

Line 178 in 00f3549

noConsole = false

Do I capture that initial error? Good question. In a way no. If the application cannot be started it's on the OS the handle with that error. Unless the launching mechanism takes care of way of capturing that..

When building background applications, services, we indeed capture this kind of output, by redirecting the console output to a file.

Next is to turn wrap this "runtime image" into an installer which hopefully better integrates it with Windows, or Linux.

Yes, thanks for the reminder.

I suppose you are going to keep the default set as "false", for the time being?

Incidentally, I did notice that the app settings were retained from the previous installation — even though I have "cleanly" removed the installation before installing this distribution. This can only mean that the app is not self-contained — yet? Where does it store the settings info?

Here is the DOS-log is you still need it for any reason:

•
listFix_win — DOS_console_log.txt
•

Application settings are always stored in %USERPROFILE%\.listFix(), close to the log files, in the parent folder.

1. .listFix()\history.json
2. .listFix()\mediaLibrary.json
3. .listFix()\options.json

You can open those files with a text editor.

So these are the traces left behind by listFix() independent of the distribution.
I think that is perfectly acceptable. Very few application leave so little behind.

Thanks, I had missed those when uninstalling. These three json-files will be moved to the self-contained folder of the portable version, later on when it's available?
