You must use the "SDK build" in the download settings. This build of NW.js will allow you to debug your app and should not be used for production. You can access the console using the F12 key or ⌘+⌥+i on Mac as specified here
This is a current UX design flaw that makes it unclear what to do when opening Web2Executable. Simply open up a folder using the "File" menu bar item and all of the fields should now be editable.
Unless you explicitly decide to include the LGPL/GPL licensed functionality of ffmpegsumo (mp3, mp4, etc) via compiling your own version, your exported exe should be under this license: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/blob/nw13/LICENSE
This is an issue with the app's error reporting. It will sometimes fail silently and I'm currently working to address the issue. However, from issues filed about this problem, it's likely you have some node_modules that were inproperly removed. Be sure to remove node modules installed with npm using npm uninstall <package-name>.
There are a couple things you can do. The first is to make sure all starred fields are filled out. The second is to make sure all of the files in the filled out fields actually exist. The third is to check out the error.log file located in the same directory as the Web2Exe executable for Windows and Linux, and for Mac, in the Web2Exe.app/Contents/Resources/ folder.
Basically, anything that Google Chrome supports, with the exception of proprietary formats like mp3. See here
:) There aren't any hard coded paths. The reason you see "Joey" in the path names of the errors is that Pyinstaller, the packaging module I use to create exes, preserves the file system structure of the machine it was built on. This causes the paths to appear hard coded, but really it's just so that I get a nice indication of where the error happened in my actual code, which makes for quicker debugging and quicker fixes for you, the user :)
You must provide support for this yourself using javascript and nodejs. You can get the path of the current executable with path.dirname( process.execPath ); and then load files relative to that path.
This is an known issue with nw.js/node-webkit. See here for information on how to work around this issue.
All of the options for node-webkit are documented in node-webkit's manifest file specification. It is located here.
The downloads folder is where Web2Exe stores the node-webkit versions in zip or tar format. This location should be chosen as a central location, because Web2Exe will reuse the files to create executables every time the export button is pressed. It will also save time by not having to redownload the node-webkit files over and over.
The Web2Executable/files/downloads folder is a good place to keep your downloads or any place that isn't your project's directory.
For right now, the default location is in Web2Executable/files/downloads (Web2Executable.app/Contents/MacOS/files/downloads for Mac OSX).
This location is stored on a by project basis, so it will load what you have set for a particular project from the package.json file. Right now, the only way to change it back to the default is to open the package.json file with a text editor and remove the download_dir option from it.
The icon replacement works by filling out the fields "Window Icon", "Exe Icon", or "Mac Icon". If "Window Icon" is filled out and the others aren't, Web2Exe will automatically use this field instead of "Exe Icon" or "Mac Icon" depending on if you export to Mac or Windows.
If you fill "Exe Icon" out, this will be used to replace the icon inside the node-webkit exe from the default compass icon if you export to Windows. Only pngs and jpegs are supported right now.
If you fill out "Mac Icon", this will convert the icon from png or jpeg to icns and copy it into the Mac app folder (or just copy if the icon is already in icns format). Of course, this is only when exporting to Mac.
Linux executables don't use icons, so there's nothing to replace. If you want to set an icon for when the app is running for Linux, simply fill out the "Window Icon" field.
Yes, but it's generally recommended to use Node instead since it's easier and can be directly embedded into the HTML. But if you don't mind using some hacks and calling the PHP binary from Node, then there's an issue here that describes how to get it set up.
