IDS Workshop desktop 0.1.2

The IDS Workshop as a desktop app. It draws the Sans face from a copy of the composer export inside the app, so editing and drawing in Sans work without a connection. Serif and Kaisho still load from glyphatlas.org, and sharing and problem reports go to https://ids.mkpo.li.

System	File
Windows 10 and 11	IDS.Workshop_*_x64-setup.exe, or IDS.Workshop_*_x64-portable.zip to run without installing
macOS 11 or later (Apple silicon and Intel)	IDS.Workshop_*_universal.dmg
Linux	IDS.Workshop_*_amd64.AppImage or IDS.Workshop_*_amd64.deb

The installers are not signed with a developer certificate.

• Windows: if SmartScreen stops the installer or the program, choose More info, then Run anyway. The portable zip unpacks to a folder; run IDS Workshop.exe there. It keeps its settings and tabs in a data folder beside it, so the folder can move to another computer or a USB drive. It needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, which Windows 11 includes and Windows 10 gets through Windows Update.
• macOS: drag the app to Applications and open it. If macOS refuses, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway next to IDS Workshop.
• Linux: make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it, or install the .deb with sudo apt install ./IDS.Workshop_*_amd64.deb.
