Hi,

will it be possible to add Zen to Scoop?

I'll look into it.

Awesome! Couple small issues:

• Zen creates and stores data under user\AppData\Local\Zen. Could you add an uninstall script to clean up the folder?
• Zen auto-updates itself on every launch, which is probably not how an app installed via a package manager should behave. I'm already working on providing separate builds with self-updates turned off, could you replace the URLs once they're done?

uninstall script to clean up the folder

This is not recommended because usually scoop users prefer to use the --purge flag if they do want to remove configs. Post-uninstallation scripts run regardless of that flag so wouldn't work. To behave correctly with that flag, config needs to be on the same directory as the executable.

Sure

Sure

The latest release and each subsequent one will now include assets named "Zen_windows_amd64_noselfupdate.zip" and "Zen_windows_arm64_noselfupdate.zip" containing binaries with their self-updates disabled.

I'm not sure if I can prioritize the implementation of a setting for a custom configuration folder path at the moment.
