UI Language locked, cannot be changed

Open ner00 opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

For some strange reason the UI language option is locked in the app settings, can't switch it from the OS / user native language. Is this a bug or a feature?

Installed from setup file, not the MS Store.

OS: Windows 10 21H2 Lively v2.0.3.2 x64

Yes it is disabled for now because of framework limitations: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/blob/763ec767f017c2de0b8df34a52ffd46bbddf7e80/src/Lively/Lively.UI.WinUI/App.xaml.cs#L144-L158

This should work for the store version (packaged), need to test.

It does not, behaves exactly as the standalone installer. I usually avoid Store installations because Windows breaks them often, otherwise I wouldn't know why you would assume the Store version would be able to do something that the standalone does not.

What I meant is if I enable this UI in the store version: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/blob/763ec767f017c2de0b8df34a52ffd46bbddf7e80/src/Lively/Lively.UI.WinUI/Views/Pages/Settings/SettingsGeneralView.xaml#L56-L60 it will work since the bug only affects "unpackaged" (installer) version of Lively.

otherwise I wouldn't know why you would assume the Store version would be able to do something that the standalone does not.

The store version of Lively is packaged using msix and it supports faster download speeds, delta updates, clean uninstall, does not require installing dotnet runtime separately etc..
