I don’t use Windows, so unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.
As a workaround, you could probably use Linux instead
A workaround that works fine for me:
/usr/bin/codecodium $1sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/codeWIP: https://github.com/GitMensch/desktop/commit/d2e24a69c16dc092ede782fb6a675c5315ba1a79 - as soon as I know what IDs to actually use, I’ll amend it with those and a nice commit log, then create the PR
Cool, I’ll send a PR (it will be untested as I don’t use that software, but it likely helps some users, so why not). I’ll reference it here and then close it as “external issue”.
If you do want to do that, maybe go with a version which is more near to MS Windows (including possible use of proprietary tools), and if the confidence is missing just go with a Live System first (you can put that on an USB drive and boot from there “until confident”).
