stompchain 0.2.0
The release that welcomes you. On first launch, stompchain now walks you through the one-time setup itself.
First launch, explained by the app
Without HX Edit's data files there are no model names, no knob ranges, and no artwork, so a welcome window now handles the whole thing:
- If HX Edit is already installed on the machine, stompchain copies its data automatically. No steps at all.
- Otherwise it points you at the HX Edit download, then takes the installer by file picker, a Downloads folder check, or drag and drop. Either installer works: the Mac
.dmgor the Windows.exe, on any OS. - The moment extraction finishes, names, knobs, and pictures appear in place. No restart.
The extractor now unwraps the whole Mac installer chain (dmg, pkg, gzip, cpio) with 7-Zip on Linux and Windows, and with hdiutil and pkgutil natively on macOS.
Dependencies
- Linux / Windows: reading an HX Edit installer in-app needs 7-Zip (
p7zipon most Linux distros; the AUR package suggests it). Not needed if HX Edit is installed on the same machine. - macOS: nothing extra.
Fixed
- Every file dialog on Linux (Browse, Export, Import) crashed the app due to an async runtime mismatch in the dialog library. All of them work now.
Install
