I will inform you, about this matter.

For anyone who's still having this issue - I managed to solve it by firstly installing the 1.3 version of the library and only then installing the newest version (or any version I guess). I am not completely sure whether you have to run a code, where you do "import AppOpener" before installing a different version, but if it doesn't work without it - then it will if you do this.

From the looks of it there is something in the 1.3 version that isn't in any of the others... @athrvvvv

Relax guys, releasing AppOpener v1.7 this month!! which solves #15 #9 #10 🤝😊

[athrvvvv]

AppOpener v1.7 just released!! ✌️

Install AppOpener v1.7:

pip install AppOpener==1.7

I have added an Exception, if the File creation process failed, it will create files using the old method in AppOpener v1.3
Hope soo, this works!! Btw, thanks @codingbro163 for suggesting the solution 🤝👍
If your Issue is fixed, you may close this now 😊

Lots of love,
athrv ❤️
