Parsing package-json: node-remote

[vzr314]

As of version 0.13+, NWJS accepts array of strings for node-remote parameter, example (package.json):

"node-remote": [ "http://remotehost", "https://remotehost" ]

Unfortunately, I found Web2Executable strip this parameter back into multiple strings in intermediate package.json, which will cause newly created application fail to load with following code into (package.json):

"node-remote": "https://localhost", "http://localhost", "https://remotehost", http://remotehost"

Exception trown:

Invalid value for 'app.urls[0]': Missing scheme separator

To fix this, one need to edit settings.cfg:62

from:
type='string'
to:
type='strings'

Pay additional attention that there should be no whitespaces after commas.

Thanks for your commitment, keep up good work & have fun!

Thank you for mentioning this! This is happening due to backwards compatibility. I'm thinking of removing compatibility with NW.js < 0.13.X in order to simplify a lot of the code, and this is one of the issues. I currently have no way to have separate settings for particular versions of NW.js, which means I either have to build that functionality, or remove backwards compatibility.
