If you want a GUI-only app, yes it's the norm to build it without console.
It's not common for GUI windows apps to open a console, though there are some programs that do it anyway. Doesn't…
Using --console does not prevent the Windows application from opening GUI windows, it simply ensures there is a console open for standard output.
Two more thoughts on the default behaviour with no arguments:
Printing usage would be good, since --help is very verbose with multiple pages, but I think it would be helpful if it also had a…
But if this is true, then this means that the appveyor windows builds never worked. I'm really upset about the Windows situations as people keep asking for it but then do not test it:…
Yes, img2pdf.exe is still broken in the same way as before. img2pdf_console.exe --help now gives the help text to the console as expected.
--console is the default and…
The old exe file I have was from the sourceforge project I just linked (the binary matches exactly to the 0.0.0.1 download there). So, it was not the case that I got it from your appveyor.
After some digging I discovered the EXE I had was actually version 0.0.0.1 of this project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/image2pdf/
My apologies for confusing it with yours.
Oh. I apologize then, because I have no idea where the executable I have comes from. I couldn't find any other project by the name "img2pdf", so I assumed this must have been where I originally…
So, it seems like you are using PyInstaller to make the EXE? I haven't used that before, but a quick guess would be that you [removed the console](https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/img2pdf/src/…
I see. I guess you delete old releases, along with their binary, whenever you make a new one?
I think if you kept them it would be helpful. I could test them and find which version broke to…
Running from IDLE rather than using the exe binary I get this description instead for the same line:
AttributeError: 'StdInputFile' object has no attribute 'buffer'
It seems the…
0.4.4 release binary does not appear to run on windows at all. I believe the problem is not with "--help" not working, but rather it crashes with no output?
Running with --help does not crash,…
