User does not know, other that a spinning thingy what is happening, perhaps provide feeback, .e.g

Found appropriate java stuff...
Resolving host...
Found cached jars...
Downloadng jars...
Starting Administator...

Were to look (e.g. logfiles) if stuff fails...

The App will hard crash when there is a trailing slash on the URL, i.e. https://localhost:8443/
Error when running from console:

Seen on macOS 12.6.6
MBP M1 with Java 17.

As mentioned by a user on Slack, the src-tauri/src/con.rs file prevents the repository from being cloned or opened on windows. An explanation can be found here.

• After clicking the "open" button the "waiting" thing spins for approximately 40 seconds according to my phone's stopwatch.
• Then there is a popup message in the application that says

Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (os error 123)

• I believe this has to do with the hard coded /tmp/catapult path.
• I'm guessing there is a cross-platform way in rust to get a temp directory (I'm pretty sure java has this.)

I think users expect to create folders in a folder pane and "files" / aka connections in the connection pane.

When using macOS in dark mode, the label text is barely visible. Switching to light mode corrects this. Unsure of how to make that behave differently in dark mode. Thoughts?

Support Themes or at least a dark theme.

Unsure if this is related to to caching or not, but it feels quite slow launching connections.
As a developer who is in and out of multiple instances daily, the launch time compared to MCAL is significantly more.
If this is because ballista doesn't cache, perhaps we can have an optional "use cache" feature?

It would be a great enhancement to be able to select multiple instances and launch them together.

Mostly on the folder pane, right click "create", "delete", "move".

Self Explanatory:

When deleting the last connection in connections list, the UI goes blank.

EDIT
Deleting a connection also seems to corrupt the catapult-data.json file.

error sending request for url (https://redacted:8443/webstart/client-lib/hapi-1.1.jar): connection closed before message completed

Later the below fix was applied by him, locally, to resolve the issue.

I added
.pool_max_idle_per_host(0)
to client builder and I was able to get in via ballista!!!!

I don't adequately understand the diagnosis and fix, but hyperium/hyper#2136 (comment) is where I got that from

Seems like there should not be scroll bars in main screen.

This is all over the place.

I can put a non-URL in the URL box and save.
I can put anything in the memory dialog box.
etc.
