2026-02-12 - EU Icon Extractor Enhancements

Completed Features

1. Windows Registry Path Detection

  • Now reads PublicUsersDataParentFolder from Registry:
    • HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MindArk\Entropia Universe
  • Constructs full cache path: {ParentFolder}\public_users_data\cache\icon
  • Fallback to hardcoded path if Registry read fails

2. Linux Support Added

  • Added get_steam_paths() function for cross-platform Steam detection
  • Windows: Uses Registry to find Steam installation
  • Linux: Checks ~/.steam/steam, ~/.local/share/Steam, ~/.steam/root
  • Platform-specific standard installation paths
  • Path display shows correct format for each platform (\ for Windows, / for Linux)

3. GitHub Issues Integration

  • Added "Report Bug" link in footer (orange color)
  • Links to: https://github.com/ImpulsiveFPS/EU-Icon-Extractor/issues

4. GitHub Stars Promotion

  • Added "give it a star on GitHub" message in footer
  • Gold colored (#ffd700) to stand out
  • Encourages users to star the repository

5. Multiple Cache Sources Support

  • New find_all_cache_paths() function returns all detected EU installations
  • Source dropdown added: "All Sources", "Standard Install", "Steam", "Manual"
  • Can extract from all sources simultaneously OR choose individually
  • Version dropdown shows source name when multiple sources exist
  • File list shows [Source Name] prefix (e.g., "[Steam] 1.2.3/icon.tga")
  • Manual browse adds "Manual" source to the dropdown instead of replacing

6. Code Cleanup

  • Removed unused webbrowser import
  • Added proper type hints with Tuple from typing module

7. Cross-Platform CI/CD

  • Updated GitHub Actions workflow to build for both Windows and Linux
  • Windows: EU-Icon-Extractor-Windows.exe
  • Linux: EU-Icon-Extractor-Linux binary
  • Linux build includes system dependencies installation

8. Documentation Updates

  • Updated README with cross-platform documentation
  • Added cache location details for Windows and Linux
  • Added build instructions for both platforms

Technical Changes

  • find_all_cache_paths() now uses Windows Registry as primary source for standard install
  • Return type changed to List[Tuple[str, Path]] for proper typing
  • Renamed subfolder_combo to version_combo for clarity
  • Added source_combo for source selection
