What is the problem or limitation you are having?
On April 7, the rcedit repository was put in to maintenance mode. This means the tool is no longer being maintained.
Electron has moved to using resedit, which is a pure Javascript tool.
Describe the solution you'd like
We need a replacement for RCEdit that is actively maintained.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We currently use RCedit to re-write application name, version, and icons in the stub Windows executable.
We could:
- Fork rcedit and maintain it ourselves.
- Use resedit (although this would require introducing Node into our build tools)
- Find a Python analog of resedit
- Write a Python analog of resedit
Additional context
This isn't urgent, but it's clearly suboptimal to be dependent on am un-maintained tool.
