Where is settings data saved? Can we freely export/import the data? Is there a windows portable edition or mode? Is it fully offline? Thanks.
- sltr 1y agoData - All data is saved to %localappdata%/Linklever (Windows), ~/.local/share/Linklever (linux), and ~/Library/Application Support/linklever on macOS. (I see the inconsistent capitalization - will amend). There is a sqlite db and a logs folder. Import/export - I have not added any import/export. Not to restrict you, it's just not implemented. The db file is an ordinary unencrypted sqlite db, so you have open access to that in the meantime. Portable editions available for Windows, macOS, and Linux at https://linklever.net/download https://linklever.net/download. Fully offline - never touches the internet EXCEPT to auto-update. You can turn it off in Settings. (Portable versions do not auto-update)
- atmanactive 1y agoGreat news. I'm onboard. Thanks.
- sltr 1y agoLove to hear that! Feel free to let me know what you think here or privately. doug@linklever.net
- atmanactive 1y agoI love it! The option to disable notifications is a must :) By the way, I was hoping the portable version would save the data in the exe's folder, but it is still saving to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Linklever\... Bummer. Since I can't trust this operating system and/or hardware instance not to bail on me unexpectedly, I can't commit to building all the Linklever rules I'd like right now. So, for now I will be using it in a simple mode, with just a few rules, until either you or me come up with a solution. One solution would be to bake in proper Portable Mode Data Handling, where the exe would self-discover the path and write to a subdirectory there, or alternatively, with your permission, I could build a Portable Wrapper, like, for example, this one: https://github.com/AtmanActive/opendeck-portable https://github.com/AtmanActive/opendeck-portable
- sltr 1y agoThanks for the valuable feedback. I can add an option to disable notifications. In the meantime, On Windows 11, it's also possible to disable notifications per-app in System > Notifications. macOS has a similar mechanism. I should also be able to add an option for Linklever read/write files in the exe folder. It may take me a week or two to implement these features. I'll get back to you.
- sltr 1y agoI have added options in the Settings tab to disable notifications and to save the database in the exe folder.
- atmanactive 1y agoWow. Great news. Looking forward to updating it. By the way, I did subscribe for news via Linklever website, will I be getting an email about new version being released?
- sltr 1y agoThanks for subscribing! I sent a email update and will send more. https://linklever.net/blog/ https://linklever.net/blog/
- sltr 1y agoImport from/export to JSON is now supported! Look for the buttons in the settings tab.
- atmanactive 1y agoFantastic. Well, it looks like Linklever reached peak functionality. Congrats. What could be next? How about UI driven training? So, a new, special destination which would display a window where user could choose one of the pre-defined destinations with a checkbox at the bottom "remember my choice". Thus, a user could choose if they wanted to be asked every time or if they wanted the choice remembered. Also, even when a stored routing is being executed, if SHIFT+CTRL is being held, then stop the execution and present the window with destination choices (remove internal routing). Just thinking out loud here. Thanks.
- sltr 1y agoDone! except for the SHIFT+CTRL feature. Cross-platform global keypress handlers is tricky business, so that will have to wait until this app proves it can sell
- atmanactive 1y agoMost excellent! If not SHIFT+CTRL, then, maybe, an application global modes "run" and "train", so when in "train" mode stored rules are bypassed and the UI choice is presented always. Just thinking about the ways to go back to training once rules are established. Fingers crossed the app proves it can sell.
