那年仲夏 提交于 2019-12-03 03:56:37
问题 For desktop based applications, what are best practices to perform auto updates? Currently, we download all files, then copy and register (if com dll) to their respective directories. I looked at Google Chrome update method. It seems that it first downloads a zipped file into a directory, and then unzips all the files. Also, they have a setup application which seems to be used to do the update. Additionally, they create a directory mapped to update version like 1.0.154.43, but they keep the

How to measure desktop applicaton usage by users? [closed]

佐手、 提交于 2019-12-03 03:14:37
I've wrote a app in c# .NET 3.5. People download it and use. I would like to know how many users do this and how many installed it. How to do this? Joe Kuemerle Disclaimer: I work for the company that has created the product I mention. There are a number of ways to track application usage. One of them is to display a web page on your server as the last step in the installation process or to have a splash screen in your application that hits that web page. With either of these you can use web analytics to give you a rough measurement of the users that have installed or run your application

馋奶兔 提交于 2019-12-03 02:06:11
I have a desktop application, packaged using node-webkit. I need to open the default browser of the user on click of a link. I am using window.open("www.google.com") but this opens a new node-webkit window rather than opening a browser window. How do I open a browser window instead?? To open a link in the user's default browser, you could use gui.Shell.openExternal("http://website.com") . Checkout the documentation for gui.Shell . 来源: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19157659/how-to-open-a-browser-window-from-a-node-webkit-app

问题 I am trying to write a cross-platform desktop app using web technologies (HTML5, CSS, and JS). I took a look at some frameworks and decided to use the Electron framework.

问题 I know this question has been asked many a times and all the time there is an answer which says about using an executable jar or making an .exe using launch4j or similar app. I may sound like a novice, which I actually am. I have been trying a few things with a Java project. I have successfully made an executable jar and also an .exe file from it. All thanks to your previous answers in SO :) But, I want to create a installer for Windows. Like, pressing Next for 2 - 3 times(which shows all the

Free desktop client for Oracle? [closed]

本秂侑毒 提交于 2019-12-03 01:18:55
Which is the best Open Source free client for querying an Oracle database? It may additionally support other databases (MySQL, Postgres etc), since our development environment often requires switching between different databases. I have been using the Oracle SQL Developer (because it's free) and at first hated every minute spent with it. I am still having weird problems with graphics, as it's running on Vista and there seems to be some sort of graphics driver problem (luckily, no-one can get it to run properly on Vista, so I am not alone in this), which makes its use quite cumbersome.

浪子不回头ぞ 提交于 2019-12-03 01:02:32
问题 I have a python desktop application that needs to store user data. On Windows, this is usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\AppName\ , on OSX it's usually ~/Library/Application Support/AppName/ , and on other *nixes it's usually ~/.appname/ . There exists a function in the standard library, os.path.expanduser that will get me a user's home directory, but I know that on Windows, at least, "Application Data" is localized into the user's language. That might be true for OSX as well. What is

Simple/Best way to load Web App as Windows Desktop Application?

微笑、不失礼 提交于 2019-12-02 22:39:22
Hello basically I have a web app built using html5/php, etc. Its a music player, similar to spotify and pandora. I want to distribute the web app for as a desktop application so people can run it straight from their desktop without opening a browser. I would not like a browser like system, just have the web view loaded (similar to just loading a webview in iOS) (no tabs no url bar, etc) I heard of Prism but that is discontinued and I can't find a download link anywhere. Is there anything you suggest? For Mac Os X, i found FluidApp, which seems to work great as it builds a stand alone app. For
