Build new releases

If you want to improve IntoDisk and build new releases, you have to change some paths into some files:

• Into main.js: change options.json path by commenting the following line:

var configPath = './http/public/config/options.json';

and uncommenting

var configPath = path.join(path.dirname(process.execPath), 'config/options.json');

• And, into 'http/routes/options.js': change these paths by commenting these following lines:

var defaultConfigPath = path.join(__dirname, '../public/config/default_options.json');
var configPath = path.join(__dirname, '../public/config/options.json');

var diExtensionPath = path.join(__dirname, '../public/config/diExtension.json');
var default_diExtensionPath = path.join(__dirname, '../public/config/default_diExtension.json');

and uncommenting

var defaultConfigPath = path.join(path.dirname(process.execPath), 'config/default_options.json');
var configPath = path.join(path.dirname(process.execPath), 'config/options.json');
var diExtensionPath = path.join(path.dirname(process.execPath), 'config/diExtension.json');
var default_diExtensionPath = path.join(path.dirname(process.execPath), 'config/default_diExtension.json');

• Finally, into 'http/routes/search.js': change extension path by commenting the following line:

var configPath = path.join(__dirname, '../public/config/diExtension.json');

and uncommenting

var configPath = path.join(path.dirname(process.execPath), 'config/diExtension.json');

Then, build stand alone app using electron-packager.

IMPORTANT

• For Linux and Windows, you have to copy 'http/public/config' folder into root folder of the created package.
• For Mac OS X, copy 'http/public/config' folder into 'IntoDisk.app/content/MacOS' folder. You can take a look at packaged by downloading a release from the Releases section above.
