Exe File Missing

Open bbacle opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

The main exe file is missing from the project & is not in the zip file.

The .ZIP file under releases is the Source code - in other words, use that to compile it yourself. If you want the application, download the .exe file.

Tell me where the releases folder is, because it is not there. And I have run the .exe file, but all it does is sit in my bottom right hand place next to my time & date. Then when I right click on it, all there is is an exit.

The .exe that runs in the background does that.

What does it do? I haven't seen anything that it does. Maybe I'm stupid or something, but I can't get it to do anything.

In releases, the main .exe allows you to create the groups/shortcut groups as described by the pictures/program. The background .exe facilitates that by actually showing the groups that you made when you click on a shortcut the program makes.

To make a group, click create group on the main application .exe in that release and add shortcuts/programs you want. Then click on the group (outside the edit group button) to open the file location of the shortcut it generates. Pin it anywhere you want and when you click it, a shortcut group should pop up.

Nothing comes up on my screen to do any of that. All I have is the icon in the bottom lower right & nothing more. I haven't been able to get it to work properly. So I can't create anything. Thanks for responding.

Open up a new issue and detail your system specifications and PC. May help to narrow it down. Also specify if you are on a x32 or x64 system.

You can find all the information in Windows Key -> System Information

Windows 11 22H2 - if I use last year's Alpha release the main program window loads every time. But since I started testing the newly compiled one you gave me about 50% of the time I click on the executable and all I get is a system tray icon as well. I have to kill it and click on the executable again.

I think the main program window is simply not displaying correctly on the Windows 11 desktop.

Windows 11 Pro x64 22H2 (OS Build 22621.900)

That is odd. Testing the linked build I gave above seems to work fine on Windows 11 for me without the tray issue. Windows 11 Home x64 Version 10.0.22621 (22H2) Build 22621.

PikeNote avatar Dec 14 '22 15:12 PikeNote

I wonder if it is something else interfering then.

Since you gave the new build in the other issue thread, I'll test with that and report back here on this particular issue.
