The releases page had nothing for Windows, so the only way in was a
checkout, a Python and a pip install. What goes out now is one setup
program per release: PyInstaller's directory, the pinned ffmpeg the
disk image already uses, and Inno Setup around both. It installs for
the account alone, so no administrator is asked for.
Two executables over the one program there, because a windowed one on
Windows has no standard output at all: Dikte.exe for the Start Menu and
dikte.exe for the terminal, sharing everything they carry. The icon is
drawn by Dikte itself into an .ico, the way the Mac's .icns and Linux's
PNGs already are, so there is still no image file in the repository.
Starting at sign-in is a registry value rather than a Startup shortcut,
which is what lets the setup program, the uninstaller and
`dikte integrate` all mean the same thing: the wizard asks once, and
typing the command changes the answer later.
The three builds move into build.yml, which release.yml now calls
instead of holding its own copy, and which a pull request touching the
packaging runs on its own. A broken build is then a red pull request
rather than a failed release.
Twenty-two files at the top of the tree was the first thing anybody saw of
this repository. They are one package now, imported relatively, and the three
scripts that are not the front door moved under scripts/. install.sh stays
where the README has always said it is.
What starts the application is dikte/__main__.py: python3 -m dikte runs it,
and so does naming the file, which is what the launcher symlink, both .desktop
files, the macOS bundle and every registered shortcut do. Run by path there is
no package around it, so it puts the checkout on sys.path itself.
The installers now keep the keys you chose when they are given none, which is
what an update is: update.sh no longer has to read them out and pass them back.
An updater from before this commit cannot read them at all, so the one thing it
can say, the default key with an empty discard key, is read as "nothing was
asked for" rather than obeyed. That guard can go once nobody is updating across
this commit.
A session that names no desktop, which is what i3 and a bare X11 login are,
leaves Qt with hicolor as its only icon theme, and hicolor has none of the four
names the tray asks for. So fromTheme returns nothing and the shapes drawn in
trayicon.py are used, as they are on macOS. They were drawn in black, which
macOS recolours through the mask and X11 does not, and i3's bar is black: the
icon was there all along, painted onto a bar of its own colour. Outside macOS
they are now white over a dark copy of themselves spread a pixel out, which
stands out on a dark bar and stays readable on a light one, and the mask is set
only where something reads it.
The .desktop files had the same hole from the other side. They named
audio-input-microphone, which is in Breeze and in Adwaita but not in hicolor, so
the menu entry and the autostart entry were blank on the same systems. install.sh
now draws the application icon into ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor and both entries
name it; uninstall.sh takes it back. The windows carry it too on X11, where a
window has no .desktop file to be looked up in.
