Make AppImage Updater dialog user friendly about freecad-bundle HOT 7 CLOSED

@luzpaz The new version released, You can see the docs here. But before you start using the new version I think we might need to change the conda recipe because the project was renamed. But Github takes care of all redirects but still some build specific stuff breaks.

Here is how you do it,

# v2.x code

# Get constants from plugin itself.
Action_CheckForUpdate = updater.getConstant("Action::CheckForUpdate")
Action_UpdateWGUI = updater.getConstant("Action::UpdateWithGUI") # Start updater with gui

def handleFinished(info, action):
    if action == Action_Update:
       print("New version Details:: {}".format(info))
       app.quit()
    elif action == Action_CheckForUpdate:
       if info["UpdateAvailable"].toBool():
          # updater.setGuiFlag(updater.getConstant("GuiFlag::Default"))
          # You can customize the GUI to some extent with flags. See docs.
          updater.start(Action_UpdateWGUI)
       else:
          print("You already have the new version")

# Connect
updater.finished.connect(handleFinished)

# Start the update process 
updater.start(Action_CheckForUpdate) 

If you want BitTorrent Support then FreeCAD need to use https://github.com/antony-jr/MakeAppImageTorrent to make torrent file at build time and upload it to the releases along with the .zsync file. Now you need to add -DDECENTRALIZED_UPDATE_ENABLED=ON flag to cmake to enable building QAppImageUpdate with torrent support. Also you need to build libtorrent at build time. ping me if you want help.

Then you just need to replace Action::UpdateWithGUI with Action::UpdateWithGUIAndTorrent.

@luzpaz Actually there is a inbuilt GUI that is not used. It's the same one used in the unofficial updater. It shows you release notes too and a simple progress.

@antony-jr how does one enable it ?

from freecad-bundle.

Oops, Actually it's only usable in plugin in v2.x. (Which will be released soon)
