Hello,
I've been playing around a bit with PackageCompiler and one easy mistake to make when trying to distribute an Gtk4 app is too use just
joinpath(@__DIR__, "...", "file.ui")
. Since@__DIR__
is evaluated at compile time, it is then hardcoded to some path.To make users aware of this, especialyl because I tihnk GUI are a good case for PackageCompiler, I've added a hint to the documentation that mentions this issue or rather mentions solutions for the problem.
