Bug Fixes

  • Daemon spawning now uses current_exe instead of relying on PATH, avoiding the console window flash caused by package manager shims (e.g. Scoop wrappers)
  • Executable lookup for wlines-daemon.exe and wlines.exe uses a shared path resolution helper, checking the directory of the running executable first
  • Fixed prompt and font name being rendered with literal quote characters in the wlines config (-p "run " → -p run )
  • Renamed the TOML config key from shortcut to hotkey to match the actual field name in the code (the old key was silently ignored)
  • Simplified the default windmenu.toml (removed excessive comments)
  • Readme improvements with new troubleshooting section

PowerShell install script

New install.ps1 provides a one-liner install for users without Scoop:

iex "& {$(irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gicrisf/windmenu/main/install.ps1)}"
  • Detects latest release from the GitHub API
  • Downloads and extracts windmenu-portable.zip to $HOME\.windmenu
  • Optionally adds the install directory to the user PATH
  • No admin required

NSIS script is still there, but I stopped suggesting it. I doubt the user of this program could prefer a NSIS installer to command line solutions.
