Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm on Windows. I'm indeed choosing the shoes_template directory in the packager. Still no launch script in the listbox though. Perhaps I can do the packaging from the command line? Something like
shoes --package folder shy|win32|osx|linux launchscript Is this possible? I didn't find any info on the subject. Packaging is an important thing for me. I'm in the search of the best portable-lightweight-easy-to-distribute solution and shoes seems to fit my needs for little apps that I'd like to develop and share. Great work on your part so far. It's the little push that I needed to actually start coding and get out of my laziness.
