Just managed to run Sunflower on Windows

[insolor]

Hi! I don't know is the version for Windows is planned, but I must say that I've managed to run it on Windows 8.1.
Though this wasn't very difficult, but this is the first time when I ported something to another OS, so I'am very excited! :)

Heh. Indeed really nice. Did you change anything in code? Are there
parts of program that are not working as expected?

Yes, there are some changes (rather dirty hacks):
* Path to the Python interpreter was set explicitly in the Sunflower.py
* Disabled check for multiple instances in main_window.py
* Disabled code that uses posix-specific python libraries (eg. fcntl)
* May be some minor workarounds which I don't remember

As for not working parts, well, it's easier to say what does work: at
least it runs and I can walk directories and even change current drive
with "Enter path" dialog.
Most basic GUI functions (tabs, menus, dialogs) do work.
File copying doesn't work (python interpreter just "falls" after
clicking on the "Copy" button in the "Copy item" dialog).
Changing directory using bookmarks doesn't word (it says eg. "Error
changing working directory to: file:///D:/ No such file or directory
Would you like to retry?").
Command line doesn't work.
GUI translation works only in a few places.
Directory creation works, but the current directory content needs to be
refreshed to see the new directory.

Ah, okay. GIO dependency showing its true face.

Hy, I also tried to get it running on windows and opened a github fork for it.

If you are intersted, please help:

I hope some crossplattform Version will run soon.

Hi.

Glad to see cross-platform interest rising. If you would like your changes merged back please make sure they take into account other platforms. For example instead of replacing GIO making some sort of choice based on os.name.

All the best!
