What can I say.. you’ve done it again!

Feature suggestion: enable automated and customized migration to the new Ironwood pool. The idea is to allow users to configure a one-time migration—specifying the destination (a single Ironwood address or multiple addresses) and the amount to be migrated (partial or total)—securely and without requiring manual transfers.

Will ZingoPC have the functionality to migrate coins to the Ironwood pool? What will this migration tool be like?

The Deb runs on Linux Mint 21. :+1:

But when adding a wallet, the wallet birthday line displays thusly:

Wallet Birthday. If you don’t know this, it is OK to enter ‘419200’

…with characters encoded.

And, unlike the instruction implies, I had to enter the wallet’s birthday for the wallet to be added. Without entering the birthday, the Create Wallet button simply did nothing, no error message either.
Then, after I figured out I had copied the block height (an unlabeled number in Zkool) instead of the birthday, all seems to work fine. It would be nice if it were possible to modify the wallet’s birthday within its settings for scenarios like these.
Also:

  • I don’t see why you would start it through a script instead of just having the desktop file call the binary. Calling the binary directly works fine as far as I can tell.
  • The way it’s installed now means people can’t run zingo from a terminal, so I added alias zingo='/opt/Zingo\ PC/zingo-pc' to my ~/.bash_aliases to fix that. But it would probably be better to add a symlink in /usr/bin/ upon installation.
  • Capitalized and spaced (system) folders are unconventional on Linux systems, I’d opt for simply zingo (or zingo-pc) instead of Zingo PC

Are you familiar with the XDG Base Directory Specification?

sorry about it, we identify more problems in this release and we decided to remove it… thanks for the testing though,

Thanks, this is great feedback — most of it is already fixed:

  • Encoded characters in the birthday line (’/‘): fixed, now renders as proper quotes.
  • Create Wallet doing nothing silently: fixed — it now shows a clear error for each missing/invalid field.
  • Symlink in /usr/bin: added on install — zingo-pc now works from a terminal.
  • Launch via script instead of binary: that’s intentional — the wrapper only exists to handle zcash: payment links (it forwards the URI to the binary). For a normal launch you can call the binary (or the new zingo-pc symlink) directly. Added a code comment explaining this so it’s not mysterious.
  • Editing the birthday in settings: good idea, noted for later — it’s a bit more involved since changing the birthday means re-syncing from that height.
  • Renaming Zingo PCzingo-pc / XDG: we’re keeping the product name as-is for now. On macOS/Windows/MAS it also drives the app-data directory, so renaming would orphan existing wallets on update unless we ship a data-migration step — not worth the risk just for the folder name. The /usr/bin symlink covers the practical part (terminal use).

Appreciate the detailed report!
Those fixes will be available in the next release, hopefully soon.
