NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE ACTUAL FREEDECK APP
This is the all-in-one solution to installing and using Freedeck.
This app is an installer AND launcher all together! It will also eventually BE Handoff.
Made with Avalonia and .NET 8.0.
These may not be up-to-date as the UI continues to evolve.
- Simple user interface using Avalonia
- Installs Freedeck
- Handles the
freedeck://URL protocol - Can migrate from old launcher
- Actually can handle other installation directories
- Autoupdater is more refined
- As a plus, the code is also so much better
You may see the original specs here, but they are totally different now.
The launcher must be at least running for these to work (right now). This will be changed later.
Any request looks like this:
freedeck://ACTION/Argument1/Argument2
To download any plugin using the App, you must specify:
- the
downloadcommand - the plugin ID
- the plugin URL (URL encoded, ex: " " turns into "%20")
- the plugin description
- the repository's title
This is very easy to do, here's the scheme: freedeck://download/ID/URL/Description/RepositoryTitle
An example, using TextBG
freedeck://download/TextBG/https%3A%2F%2Fcontent-dl.freedeck.app%2Fhosted%2FTextBG.Freedeck/Show%20any%20text%20on%20your%20Freedeck./freedeck.app
Updating uses the same idea as downloading them, except instead of download as the command, it's update.
An example, using TextBG
freedeck://update/TextBG/https%3A%2F%2Fcontent-dl.freedeck.app%2Fhosted%2FTextBG.Freedeck/Show%20any%20text%20on%20your%20Freedeck./freedeck.app
When the App becomes stable, it'll be what you download from freedeck.app. For now, it'll be only on GitHub releases.
--protocol-register-admin - Registers the freedeck: protocol as an admin. This is not required, but you do need admin to run this action.
To make a release-ready build, just run dotnet publish in your console.
Or, if you like the GUI way (JetBrains Rider only), right click on the project, click Publish then "Freedeck New Release".
