user complains that double click on the app does nothing

[ralyodio]

they downloaded the linux version and double click on the binary 'bmr' app and nothing happens for them.

It works fine for me on a mac.

There was a bug #19 with the linux build, try getting the newest version of the plugin and do the build again. Virtualbox is great for testing the releases - tell me if it worked.

Ok, I installed Ubuntu on a VM, and this is what I get when I click on my app:

I just encountered this same issue; build works fine on Mac and Windows, but on Linux, double-clicking the app does nothing to load it. Running Ubuntu 13.10 using Parallels 9 on a MacBook Pro Retina. Happy to share any other details of my build, if it's helpful for debugging.

Was there ever any resolution to this issue, or hypotheses for what's going on?

last i checked it was a problem with chromium, there didn't seem to be any resolution in sight, so I gave up on node-webkit. I'm looking into http://appjs.com/ as a replacement.

@chovy Seems like AppJS uses Chromium as well. From https://github.com/appjs/appjs#appjs ?

Was able to fix it on my system, and I found the fix that node-webkit recommends:

[ralyodio]

exactly why i gave up on node-webkit. i can't expect users to do that

[ralyodio]

how did popcorntime resolve the issue?

Not sure, maybe updated to the newest nw. I'm not working on windows and this is a duplicate of #19 - maybe you should try it again with the newest version
