What's new (v3.0)

🐛 Critical Fixes

  • Fixed Mac app launch issue: Mac app now properly bundles Flask and all required Python modules
  • Resolved "app doesn't open" problem: App now successfully launches and runs the Flask web server
  • Improved error handling: Added error logging for easier debugging of windowed apps

🔧 Technical Improvements

  • Enhanced PyInstaller build: Explicitly includes Flask dependencies and all Python modules
  • Better module detection: Added explicit imports to ensure PyInstaller includes file_cleanup, web_interface, and directory_browser
  • Build script updates: Improved macOS build process with better dependency handling

📦 What's Included

  • macOS app: Fixed Mac-File-Cleanup.zip (5.6MB) - now works correctly
  • Windows app: Win-File-Cleanup.exe (unchanged from v2.5)
  • Source code: Complete Python source for CLI/TUI usage

Downloads

Upgrade Notes

If you downloaded v2.5 Mac app: The previous version had a critical bug preventing it from launching. Please download v3.0 for the fixed version.

Windows users: The Windows app is unchanged from v2.5, but you can download v3.0 for consistency.

Notes
