windows support
Yes, this app should work on Windows, did you run into any issues when compiling on Windows?
Windows is supported at least since e9eba6585d1a262254ae5184d6fdbb756633125a, however I don't actively test on that platform, so let me know if any things are broken.
I install cmake and qt6.8 on my windows 11 after i run cmake .. it tell me that
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package):
By not providing "FindQt6.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt6", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt6" (requested
version 6.8) with any of the following names:
Qt6Config.cmake
qt6-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "Qt6" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt6_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Qt6" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
do i need to change your cmake.list ?

No, it seems that it can't find the path to your Qt installation, so you will have to set the path manually when you run cmake. It would be the same way on Linux, if you install Qt in a non-system-wide location.
Googling the error should tell you how to fix it, e.g.:

I successfully compile the app, and install it on my os but after I start the app , nothing happen
Seem like you have handle os difference in blobdrop, but not handle that in quartz （？

From your screenshot it looks like you are starting it the correct way, this should definitely work, I am not sure why it doesn't seem to work on Windows. I would have to investigate this, but it will take some time - I haven't touched Windows for a while now.
Maybe you can do one quick check for me and navigate to the build directory and start the executable directly from there instead of installing it system-wide?

That shouldn't be a problem, it's also ifdef'd out in quartz, otherwise you would have gotten an error when compiling.
I successfully got it to work on Windows, and everything works fine except for immediate. The "-f immediate" works just like "-f gui".

It's my pleasure.
But I'm on vacation now. I'll be back in a few days.
Apologies for the delay.
this is my build dir
nothing happen after i start the executable.
Manually copy the dll then blobdrop -f gui sometext.txt work without problem But as rabbitbun said, -immediate seems to have problems
I have tested this on Windows now again and indeed, the immediate frontend does no longer seem to work there. I am not sure if a change in Windows or in Qt broke it, but I seem to remember that it worked last time I tested it. But that was about three years ago, so I am not sure if I just misremember it.
In any case, I have now adapted the default frontend on Windows to one that actually works, let me know if there are any other problems.
