v1.4.0

[hwalker56]

Changelog:

• Pin PySide6 version back to 6.9
  • Closes The macOS (x64) version of the patcher doesn't launch on macOS Monterey #15, fixes compatibility with older macOS versions
• Improved error messages
  • Now returns nicer messages for common errors, rather than always spitting out the full traceback
• Output path is now selected by the end user rather than defaulting to ~/Downloads/WiiLink
  • Closes Windows version downloads files into the default "Downloads" directory ignoring changed settings #25
• Flatpak packaging is now supported! The application will be added to Flathub following this release

Hey! Some reviews after testing the flatpak package

Overall, the app works really well: I see the new page asking for a folder, and the folder is queried using XDG-portals, as expected!

Size of the WiiLink-GUI layer: 13Mo (99% is used by /app/lib/python3.13)

---

However, there is some quircks

• The runtime version of the KDE platform is not up-to-date (there is a 6.10 version)
• The app show the internal document store path, and not the real one, which may disappoint the user.
  • XDG method call

• The entry shown above allows me to paste a path, but if I am using a Flatpak and provide a path that exists in the sandbox's tempfs, the app accepts it and continues.
  • In case the app is in a Flatpak, connect the click inside the text entry to the same action as the "Browse" button.

• And finally, the most annoying issue, the app crashes when closed (a coredump is created):

Hi, thanks for this comment @DodoLeDev.

I have resolved the crash on exit (which has admittedly been there for a while), and changed the app to display the real path when running in a Flatpak.

As for the runtime version being "outdated" at version 6.9, this is intended as the app is built against, and tested with, Qt 6.9, as this version is the latest version to support a reasonable amount of macOS versions. If this causes issues with Flathub I will change it, but I'd like to keep things consistent across all platforms.
