Windows-only about roblox-studio-mod-manager HOT 14 CLOSED

I'll think about it.

Oh, sorry about that. I'm autistic so I have trouble phrasing things in a non-aggressive way sometimes.

Grow up and don't use such a bad OS if you're not capable of working around common issues like X program not supporting it.

I'm assuming you're a Mac user since Studio doesn't work on Linux (well). Have you tried running this with Mono or WINE?

@EchoReaper ...What?

If macOS is a bad OS, what does that make Windows? If you want me to give a list of issues, and the reasons I don't like Windows, feel free to ask.

I use macOS because it's Unix based, and therefore more well-suited to developing programs to run on Linux servers and such.

@Kampfkarren No, not really. I only really use WINE for small utilities, not complicated applications like Studio.

@LoganDark EchoReaper was under the impression you were using Linux.

As for your reply, I'm not sure then. You're welcome to make a PR to fix your issue, rather than being aggressive in your OP.

Wait, what?

What's wrong with Linux..????

What do you mean by aggressive?

from roblox-studio-mod-manager.

The general topic of the issue seemed to be aggressive in that you're more angry than looking for a discussion ("it's just another Windows-only program, making it completely useless for me and pretty much half the fucking world.")

Developing cross-platform applications is tricky. The installation protocols of Roblox Studio are different between PCs and Macs, as well as the system architecture in general. I could possibly look into re-writing the entire program with a framework like Qt, but it would be a large undertaking that frankly I'm not sure I have the time or patience for right now.

Ultimately it comes down to the fact that I'm a Windows user. I originally wrote the tool for myself using the tools provided to make Windows applications. I'm not biased against Mac, it's just that making this work on a Mac would be an entirely different beast of a task.

@CloneTrooper1019 Getting it working cross platform is easier than you think with Mono, might be worth looking into.

from roblox-studio-mod-manager.

@CloneTrooper1019 Are you still considering MacOS support?

from roblox-studio-mod-manager.

@Dog2puppy Probably not, "I'll think about it" usually means "no and don't bother me again"

from roblox-studio-mod-manager.

The idea is intriguing, but unfortunately I just don't have enough experience with Macs or Mac development to deliver such. If there is enough demand for it though, I may look into it sooner than later.

The program is open sourced though, so if anyone here is familar with Mac development, I'd be interested to see what would be needed to port this.
