Update Mac environment files to be more human-readable

Open garrettmflynn opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

This may be more a reflection of my own experience than a general experience for developers of the GUIDE, but I'm continually choosing the wrong Mac build for my system (MAC-arm64) when resetting the Python environment.

To guard against this in the future, I've changed the Mac naming convention to MAC-intel vs. MAC-apple for a more human-readable distinction between the two systems.

MAC-apple seems like it might also be confusing to the average user. How about MAC-apple-silicon?

Should we also change the distributable names away from NWB-GUIDE-x64.dmg and NWB-GUIDE-arm64.dmg?

I don't know how to do that - do you? We just put the architecture identifier in there from the electron builder

Updated programmatically for consistency.

AFAIK this is handled by electron-builder itself based on the architectures you've specified to build (e.g. arm64, x64, etc.) so we can't control the output filename of the .dmg
