Problem Description
Thanks everyone for the software, it's fantastic!
I love the program but hate to update my programs, it's unfortunate
Proposed Solution
- Add auto update using GitHub releases latest tag http endpoint
- Add option in settings to allow only silent download, or allow silent download and update to let the user choose its preferred object method
Alternatives Considered
If you can't do it silently:
- Give a
Direct downloadbutton to latest - Download silently and just have an
Updatebutton
Additional Information
I know it is possible as tauri updater module does it with static JSON file in release files and using the latest tag endpoint for releases.
I would like to help you but I don't know how to do it with C#. Maybe there is a library available?
A private signing key in github secrets would allow for signing and verify trusted source in release workflow.
