Task manager shows "electron"

[Fruchtgummi]

Hi

How can I set the Task Manager to display the name and icon of my app? Now there is always "Electron".

@Fruchtgummi for now you can't since the Task Manager is taking the Description + Icon of the electron.exe running in the background.

The solution is to use rcedit during the bundling in order to edit the File Description as well as the Icon of the electron.exe.

I'll add it to my TODO but if you're up to make a PR in the bundler I'll be happy to point to the right direction and review the PR.

Cheers

I would be willing to make up a PR if you could advise me. :)

You can change electron.exe file attribute with other program :)

@Fruchtgummi I've pushed a fix on the win-task-name branch that should change the name in the Task Manager. Could you fetch the branch and tell me whether this is working ?

Regarding the icon, there's no way to change it.

Cheers

Never mind, I've tested on Windows and it's not working :( back to square one :(

Hi, is there any news on this? I noticed too that on windows if you pin to the taskbar and open the application that way, it just shows the default electron page, obviously starting up without the golang side

@adeptedcase there were no progress on this issue and I won't have time to work on it anytime soon. I'm welcoming PRs though.
