How to change output folder's name?

Open piroposantosdev opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I'm using electron to build a windows and linux app. I'd like to change the output folder's name. When i build for linux, it's saving in a folder called linux-unpacked, i'd like to change it to interface, how can I do it?

Sorry, if this questions i already made

So it's not possible to change that folder to a different name, -unpacked is the precursory step for packaging into a distributable asset.

Can I ask what your use case is? That folder name shouldn't matter as it's not directly packaged within the asar file or anything like that.

i'm creating a program and the user that will use the app has no abilities with computer, so i need to build as simple as I can

Building with simplicity seems mutually exclusive from needing to know the output folder name. The -unpacked folder isn't to be distributed either, you can consider it as a staging folder before the app is assembled into a .exe, .appimage, .deb, etc.
