Pinned taskbar icon/shortcut tries to open chrome_proxy.exe

[Carrybag1]

I'm unsure if this is because of Streamlink/Streamlink GUI or my PC but figured just encase it's happening to anyone else.

When I updated to the newest streamlink/GUI release and pinned the application to my taskbar it would try to open "chrome_proxy.exe" instead of streamlink (no issue with a shortcut created from the .exe, just the pinned one on my taskbar).

FIX
Right click pinned shortcut > right click stream link > properties > point target/start in to streamlink

That's a bug in the latest NW.js release which was already fixed once in an earlier version:
nwjs/nw.js#5991

Btw, you can simply right click the application name in the right click menu again and edit the shortcut. No need to go to the %APPDATA% folder.

I've opened a new issue on the NW.js repo:
nwjs/nw.js#7033

Did not realise you could right click the app again, useful to know. Thanks

The issue has been fixed in NW.js and will be fixed here once I've upgraded to a newer (stable) NW.js release.

I'm seeing exactly the same behaviour. Looking forward to the fix, thanks a lot! Awesome work!
