The finish-page launch action started the app and also opened
http://localhost:8080/ itself, but the app already auto-opens the
browser on a manual (non-autostart) launch, so the page appeared
twice. Drop the installer's redundant open and let the app handle it
(it waits on /health, which is more reliable than a fixed sleep).
Regenerate the LedGrab icon family from a single Pillow script
(build/generate_icon.py): a rounded-square aperture traced by a
continuous RGB color-wheel stroke over a vignette canvas with a soft
chromatic bloom. 4x supersampled then downsampled per output for
crispness. Outputs 192/512 standard, 512 maskable (safe-area padded
for PWA round-crops), and a new 256 transparent-background tray
variant so the taskbar icon reads cleanly against light themes
instead of showing a dark tile.
icon.ico now embeds 16/24/32/48/64/128/256 frames sourced from the
transparent tray master, fixing the dark-square halo around the
file/taskbar icon on light Windows themes.
__main__ picks icon-tray.png for the tray and falls back to
icon-192.png when the tray asset isn't present (older bundles /
forks).
When the user enables "Start with Windows" in the installer, the app
launches on every PC login. Previously each login popped a fresh WebUI
tab, which is noisy for a tray-resident background service.
The autostart shortcut now passes --autostart to start-hidden.vbs, which
sets LEDGRAB_AUTOSTART=1 in the child env. __main__ checks this flag
alongside LEDGRAB_RESTART when deciding whether to open the browser.
Manual launches (desktop/start-menu shortcuts) and the installer's
post-install "Launch LedGrab" finish-page action are unchanged — they
don't pass the arg, so they still open the WebUI tab.
Two release-blocking bugs traced to the same root cause: the unanchored
`data/` rule in .gitignore matched server/src/ledgrab/data/, which is
where shipped package assets live (prebuilt sounds, game adapters).
The files were never `git add`-able without -f, so they never reached
the v0.4.2 tag and CI builds couldn't include them.
- .gitignore: anchor /data/ and /server/data/ so nested package data
dirs are not ignored.
- Track previously-excluded shipped assets:
- server/src/ledgrab/data/prebuilt_sounds/{alert,bell,chime,ping,pop}.wav
- server/src/ledgrab/data/game_adapters/{minecraft,rocket_league,valorant}.yaml
- Bump _FALLBACK_VERSION 0.3.0 -> 0.4.2 to match pyproject.toml.
The Windows installer strips ledgrab-*.dist-info, so
importlib.metadata falls back to this literal — which is why
v0.4.2 reports v0.3.0 in the WebUI.
- Patch _FALLBACK_VERSION at bundle time in build-common.sh and
build-dist.ps1 so future drift is auto-corrected by the build.
Windows installer silently failed to launch because build-dist-windows.sh
maintained its own DEPS list that drifted from server/pyproject.toml and
was missing `cryptography` — ledgrab.utils.secret_box imports AESGCM at
module load, so pythonw.exe crashed before the tray icon appeared. Also
missing: just-playback (lazy import, silent until a sound triggers).
- Add cryptography + just-playback to DEPS with a sync-with-pyproject
warning comment
- Extend the post-cleanup on-disk check to abort the build if
cryptography / cffi / just_playback go missing again
- Launcher now exports TCL_LIBRARY / TK_LIBRARY so the screen-overlay
tkinter thread stops logging "Can't find init.tcl" at startup
- Installer wipes stale debug.bat / debug.log on install and uninstall
(leftovers from the pre-rename wled_controller era produced a
misleading ModuleNotFoundError when users tried to diagnose launch
failures)
Declutters the repo root by consolidating build-common.sh,
build-dist.sh, build-dist-windows.sh, build-dist.ps1, and installer.nsi
into build/. Updates all path references in CI workflows, NSIS installer,
and documentation.
