poikilos / blendernightly Goto Github PK

I couldn't figure out how to install and get blendernightly up and running and recommend refactoring the set-up to be more clear or make it more automatic.

Windows 64 defaults to "win64" string for scraping downloads page.
This now appears to show no downloads, but manually changing to "windows64" as a string works properly.

• Check extracted directory instead (by keeping naming the same as the archive [for sub in ... if archive_name.startswith(sub)], or simply extract it and compare).
  • consider using nopackage, but make it Windows compatible first.
• self-correct if archive is bad

I have no way to test this. If you have a mac of any kind, even with OSX 10.4, I would appreciate the donation.

Awesome, worked like a charm.
Two suggestions I would like to throw out there, perhaps making it lightweight taskbar item that can run in the background and then alert you when there is a new version or can just autoupdate your current one if you would like it to. Then also simply being able to select the destination of the install.

Appreciate the work you put into this.
Thanks,

It just says action=uninstall

I tried running this on a Ryzen 5 2600 on Windows 10 Pro with no luck. I ran it with PyCharm and this was the output. I had 2.80 / win64 / win64. Just to test I typed in 2.79 as well as other systems and architectures but it made no difference. Always came back the same, not even an "incorrect OS" or anything when I put in Windowz instead of win64.

It would be nice to have an option/setting to clear out / not save past installs. I wasn't paying attention and update it nightly and next thing I realized I had 10+ installs as well as the same of zip files snagging up room on my SSD.

Thanks again, great tool. As I mentioned, I use it every day!
