[Bug] Changing App directory breaks Windows System tray pinning functionality

Open Saud-97 opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

Squirrel version(s) Which version(s) of the project are you using? Latest discord C:\Users\saud\AppData\Local\Discord\app-1.0.9182

Description Please implement this to improve the bad User Experience caused by this issue that is ongoing for years.

Changing the discord.exe path after each updates breaks the Windows system tray pinned item functionality which causes it to get unpinned everytime.

Please stop changing the directory path with each update.

For example this path C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Discord\app-1.0.9182\discord.exe

Should be always C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Discord\app-current\discord.exe

Steps to recreate

  1. Pin discord in system tray
  2. Update discord
  3. the steps
  4. to recreate

Expected behavior Directory shouldn't change

Actual behavior Directory is changing which unpins the app
