qrate v0.4.0-alpha.3

Installer fixes, and the first release qrate can install for itself.

What is new

Installing on Windows

  • The installer now offers just for me first. A per-user install needs no administrator rights,
    which is the difference between installing qrate yourself and filing a ticket for it. Installing
    for all users is still there on the same page.
  • The enterprise MSI showed placeholder text where the licence agreement should be. It now shows
    qrate's actual licence, the GNU AGPL v3.

Updating

  • If you are running 0.4.0-alpha.2, this is the first release that arrives on its own: qrate finds
    it, downloads it, checks it, and offers Restart to update qrate.

Downloads

  • Windows: *-setup.exe (installer, asks for per-user or all-users) or
    *-x86_64.zip (portable). Deploying to managed machines? See Enterprise below.
  • macOS: *-universal.dmg (Intel + Apple Silicon)
  • Linux: *-x86_64-linux.tar.gz (Wayland + X11; needs a Vulkan driver)

Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Enterprise (Windows)

*-x86_64.msi installs per-machine and is built for Group Policy Software
Installation, SCCM, and Intune — or a plain silent push:

msiexec /i qrate-0.4.0-alpha.3-x86_64.msi /quiet /norestart

Upgrades in place on top of any earlier MSI install; downgrading is blocked.

File previews

PDF previews work out of the box everywhere — PDFium ships in every download.

Video previews and JPEG 2000/AVIF/HEIC need ffmpeg. It is bundled on Windows;
on macOS and Linux install it and qrate will find it on your PATH:

brew install ffmpeg          # macOS
sudo apt install ffmpeg      # Debian/Ubuntu

Without it those files fall back to a file-type icon; nothing else is affected.

Note

These builds are unsigned. This is about who Windows and macOS think
published the app, and is separate from the signature qrate checks on an update.

  • Windows: SmartScreen may warn "unknown publisher" — click More info → Run anyway.
  • macOS: right-click the app → Open the first time, or run
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/qrate.app".
