Important Notice About This Release

Current Release Status:

• ✅ macOS (.dmg): Ready for use - built on macOS
• ⚠️ Windows (.exe): Placeholder only - must be built on Windows
• ⚠️ Linux (.deb): Placeholder only - must be built on Linux

To get functional Windows and Linux installers, please follow the build instructions below on the respective platforms.

Overview

This is the initial release of the File Manager application, a cross-platform file management tool built with PySide6.

Build Instructions

Important Note on Cross-Platform Building

The File Manager application must be built separately on each target platform to create proper installers:

• Windows: Build on a Windows system to create a proper .exe installer
• macOS: Build on a macOS system to create a proper .dmg installer
• Linux: Build on a Linux system to create a proper .deb package

Building on Your Current Platform

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KCprsnlcc/File-Manager.git
   cd File-Manager
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the build script for your platform:

   On Windows:

   python build_windows.py
   

   On macOS:

   python build_macos.py
   

   On Linux:

   python build_linux.py
   

4. Find your installer in the output directory:

   • Windows: FileManager-Setup.exe
   • macOS: FileManager.dmg
   • Linux: filemanager_1.0.0_amd64.deb

Alternative: Using the Unified Build Script

You can also use the unified build script which will automatically detect your platform:

python build_all.py

To build for a specific platform (creates placeholder installers if not on that platform):

python build_all.py --platform windows|macos|linux
