Simple webview application generator for: android, ios, linux/mac/windows via nw.js

code: https://github.com/mess110/glassic

Tried it out, obviously needs node.js and git in path, git clones https://github.com/mess110/glassic and builds. Nice tool, saves a lot of time. (@mess110, the icon button under advanced for the nw.js builds doesn't seem to work.)

add'l docs: https://github.com/mess110/glassic/blob/master/wiki/Home.md

Thanks for taking a look.

Icon button under advanced doesn't work? Hm.. That should open a file select window. When you click Generate & Download, the file you selected should be in the assets folder of the archive.

Does it open the file select window?

Documentation on that side will also be improved, for the moment I only tested png images. More guidance is needed from the wizard in this scenario.

No, unfortunately no response on Firefox Dev Edition (43.0a2 on Linux). No errors in Javascript console.

Digging in a bit more, it looks like the input #file-input is display:none. Displaying it and then clicking it produces the desired file select window.

Ok, so the trigger doesn't work on Firefox. Will fix that. Thanks
