clipboardwire v0.1.1 — Windows MSI shortcuts + config-path fix

Choose a tag to compare

@davefx davefx released this 19 May 16:50

Two UX fixes on top of v0.1.0:

Windows MSI: Start Menu, Desktop, autostart

The v0.1.0 MSI dropped clipboardwire.exe on PATH but added no shortcut, leaving Windows users without an obvious way to launch the tray. v0.1.1 adds three new optional install features (all selected by default):

  • Start Menu shortcut — "clipboardwire (Tray)", runs clipboardwire connect --tray.
  • Desktop shortcut — same target.
  • Start at login — adds an HKCU …\Run\clipboardwire entry so the tray launches with the current user's session.

Reinstall the v0.1.1 MSI on top of v0.1.0 (MajorUpgrade handles the swap cleanly).

Sane Windows config path

The default client-config location on Windows now drops a redundant \config\ subdirectory:

Platform v0.1.0 v0.1.1
Windows %APPDATA%\clipboardwire\config\config.toml %APPDATA%\clipboardwire\config.toml
Linux ~/.config/clipboardwire/config.toml unchanged
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/clipboardwire/config.toml unchanged

If you already created a config under the v0.1.0 path, just move the file up one level.

No protocol changes

Wire-compatible with v0.1.0. Hubs and clients running either version interop without changes.
