  • Version: v8.31.2
  • Target: .NET Core 3.1

try to customize author and description as below (as mentioned in #310 )

"executable": "Test",
"splashscreen": {
"imageFile": ""
},
"author": "Test author",
"description": "Test description"

But author is still "Gregor Biswanger" and description is still "Electron-Host for Electron.NET."

I tested it again and it works for me?!
What operating system do you have and where do you read other information?

{ "executable": "ElectronNETIssue419", "splashscreen": { "imageFile": "" }, "name": "ElectronNETIssue419", "author": "Max Mustermann", "description": "Only a test description.", "singleInstance": false, ...

My operating system is Windows 10. as @MarkBQE said manifest file has no affect. i used custom package.json for work around as electronize build /target win /package-json "./package.json" to solve problem.

@MarkBQE Is this the build version? Or with electronize start?

Which version of Node.js and Electron.NET do you have?

This is electronize start, in build it works as expected.

Node -6.13.6
.Net Core v3.1.4
Electron.NET 8.31.2

ahh okay, that explains a lot :) it only works with the finished build version...

Isn't that really relevant during development?!

I realized that it works in build after I posted this. I am OK with it the way it is as of now. I appreciate you looking into this. Keep up with the good work.
