I'd prefer linking to the project page instead of /releases, but im fine either way.
I am fine either way too, but as a suggestion: you could have a link label for "releases" and another for "source code". I say this because it is very surprising how users don't know how to access the release page from the home page (even with a link at the start of the readme). |
How about both? What would the label be? And in which position? |
This is perhaps why I went for "Updates" instead of "Releases", because "Releases" feels a bit too technical. |
Some options:
Thoughts? I don't really have a strong opinion. The application is quite niche: I'm sure anybody that uses it is technical enough to find all the info, even if we don't include it here. |
I like Open to either, your choice. |

I've gone for Option 5. (Happy to make further tweaks if more suggestions are made.) |
As I was checking how the dialog looked like on Windows, I noticed the icon is not working: Then I noticed the build is not bundling the SVG plug-in. EDIT: The external library does have it; we are just not bundling it. |
SVG logo is now rasterized after #112: Now noticing that the copyleft symbol 🄯 (ɔ) is not available on the font family on Windows. I may open a PR for this. (See #113.) We also don't know how the dialog looks like on macOS. As mentioned in my previous comment, the external Qt library for macOS in the Git submodule does not include the QtSvg component; I guess the SVG logo won't work there until that is addressed. @campital Is this something you would like to look into? When you uploaded the macOS library, did you leave out the QtSvg module, or was it not compiled by default in macOS? |
