What's new

  • Windows: the desktop shortcut shows the new icon. After updating from inside the
    app, the shortcut kept showing the old shield from 1.0.17 even though the program
    itself has carried the "M" icon since 1.0.18 — Windows kept the old picture in its
    icon cache, keyed by the program's path. The shortcuts now take the icon from a
    separate icon file of the program: the installer creates them that way, and the app
    switches existing shortcuts to it once after an update. The Windows files of this
    release were replaced with this fix on 3 October; if you updated to 1.0.23 before
    that and the shortcut still shows the shield, run the installer once.

Which file do I need?

Device File
Windows 10 / 11 MultikSila-1.0.23-setup.exe
Android — almost any phone MultikSila-1.0.23-android-arm64-v8a.apk
Android — old 32-bit phones MultikSila-1.0.23-android-armeabi-v7a.apk
Android emulator MultikSila-1.0.23-android-x86_64.apk

Already using Multik Sila on Windows? It offers this update on its own.
MultikSila-1.0.23-windows-x64.zip is what it downloads for that — you don't need it.

On Android with 1.0.13 or newer the app offers this update itself; the first time,
Android asks you to allow installing from Multik Sila. On 1.0.12 or older, install this
file by hand once.

Technical details
  • The shortcut has no icon of its own (IconLocation is empty) and takes it from
    proxy_app_test.exe; the in-app update replaces the files but neither recreates the
    shortcut nor notifies the shell.
  • apply_update.bat now runs ie4uinit.exe -show after copying the files. The script
    is written by the version being replaced, so the new version also runs it once at
    first start (remembered per version). The installer sets ChangesAssociations=yes.
  • The cache refresh alone did not help on a real PC: Explorer keys the icon by the exe
    path. Shortcuts now get IconFilename = data\flutter_assets\assets\tray_icon.ico
    (the same multi-size "M" .ico, byte for byte) — from the installer's [Icons], and
    for existing shortcuts from the app once per version (a PowerShell script via
    -EncodedCommand, so a Cyrillic profile path survives).
  • No changes for Android in this release.
