The setup wizard gains a folder page between Welcome and Ready: pick where
ArtCraft Launcher goes (default %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\ArtCraft Launcher;
still per user, so it notes to pick a folder you can write to), and a
"Create a desktop shortcut" box. The page is the stock WixUI_InstallDir one
plus the box, with the same path checks and Change... browser.
Both choices are recorded under HKCU and reused by the next version, so an
update (self-update runs the MSI with /passive) installs into the same folder
and keeps the shortcut choice. The box starts ticked on a first install; an
update from 0.1.0 or 0.1.1, which never asked, adds no desktop icon. A value
given on the command line (INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0/1) wins. The desktop
shortcut is a normal MSI component, removed on uninstall.
self_update.rs now recognises an MSI install by the folder the MSI records
(InstallDir), not only the default one, so a launcher installed elsewhere
still updates itself.
The Windows ARM64 workflow now installs twice on real hardware: with the
defaults (default folder, Start Menu and desktop shortcuts) and into a chosen
folder without the desktop shortcut, checking each uninstall removes it all.
Version 0.1.2.

The launcher now looks like the apps page on getartcraft.com: the site's
colour tokens, square corners, 1 px hairlines instead of shadows, app cards
in a shared-hairline grid with numbered tabs and "Photo*Craft*" wordmarks,
mono upper-case labels and buttons, and square badges for status.
Fonts are the site's own, embedded in the binary: Archivo (620, 118 % width)
for headings and app names, Inter for body text and Geist Mono for labels,
all variable fonts from google/fonts (OFL-1.1) set to the site's weights.
The window has a custom title bar on Windows and Linux (drag to move,
double-click to maximize, minimize/maximize/close, resize from the edges)
and a transparent one on macOS with the traffic lights in the header.
The MSI used to flash a progress bar and close. Double-clicked, it now opens
a WixUI wizard (Welcome, Ready, progress, Finish with "Launch ArtCraft
Launcher"), with art drawn by package.ps1 from the ArtCraft mark and the
Craft apps' icons. Self-update still runs it with /passive. CI installs the
WiX UI and Util extensions.
The app icon is now the blue "A" mark, getartcraft.com's favicon.
packaging/icons.sh runs on any OS: `cargo xtask icns` packs the .icns.
Also: two clippy fixes in crates/native that newer clippy rejects, and
refreshed README screenshots.

A native Rust/egui launcher for the 12 Craft Apps (7 classic + 5 new).
- Grid (icon cards) or sortable table view, filters and search
- Status per app: available, installed and up to date, or update
available with version and release date
- Installs where each OS keeps apps, from the official release packages:
/Applications (DMG), Program Files (MSI), deb/rpm via the system
package manager (Flatpak/AppImage fallback), /usr/local on FreeBSD
- Detects apps installed by hand; updates keep the installed format
- Every download verified against its published SHA-256; running apps
are never replaced
- Tray/menu-bar mode, start at login, one notification per new version
- GitHub API with ETag cache, falling back to release pages when
rate-limited; release source is pluggable for a future catalog API
- Web build lists latest releases with per-platform downloads
- Packaging and release workflows for macOS, Windows (x64/x86/arm64),
Linux (x86_64/aarch64), FreeBSD and web
