Hi.  I am the current maintainer for the Pinta Chocolatey package (for Windows).  With the release of v2, the installer changed (which is fine), but a supposedly fully silent install (using '/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-') still opens Pinta at the conclusion of the install.  That's a problem for a package install that is supposed to be truly silent.  

Could either that be disabled in the installer when the '/VERYSILENT' switch is used or, can someone provide the '/TASKS=' or '/MERGETASKS=' requirements to prevent auto-start so I can add it to the Chocolatey package?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report!
After some searching I don't think there's a command line argument that can turn it off, so I've made a change to disable it when in silent mode which seems like the expected behavior (https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/commit/38a7e1d27107aa637bc7a5cf98f02d9a77d9770e)
Please give it a try and let me know if that works! An installer for that build can be downloaded from https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/actions/runs/1679813314 (requires Github login)

Great!  That worked well in my test.  I've submitted an updated package to the Chocolatey repository although it may fail (depending on moderator thoroughness) until this "repaired" installer binary becomes the official download because the verification checksum will be mismatched.  

Thanks.

Great! I'll probably do a 2.0.2 release shortly so that the official installer can be fixed

I've released Pinta 2.0.2 which has the fix for this issue

And I've submitted an updated package to the Chocolatey public repository (https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/Pinta/2.0.2)

Thanks!
