Feature Suggestion: Unversioned executable name
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Suggestion: Clean executable name without version
For easier OS management, I prefer executable names that are generic.
Example where versioned names become cumbersome:
In Windows there is a Start menu folder where you can manually put links to programs. Since BeefRef is a portable app (aside: where does it save its preferences?) I have to put a link to BeeRef in this folder in order to be able to run it via Windows Start Menu. Issue: For every new version, I'll have to redo the link.n (Manually renaming the executable doesn't feel right, imo.)
You can just rename the executable to whatever you want.
you can you scoop package manager to install and use beeref effortlessly 😃
