TableSmith evolution


 

Just curious. Is the new .Net 5 any closer to allowing a cross-platform build for TableSmith?


 

I'm not sure if .NET 5 would make much of a difference; with .NET Core, I could target Windows and macOS right now (and probably Linux). The problem is with the graphical front-end. Though Xamarin might allow me to create a cross-platform UI; something I'd have to look into.

Currently, I have version 5.1 running very nicely on Linux Mint via Crossover (from Codeweavers).

5.2 won't install with Crossover due to the .Net Core install not wanting to play nice with Crossover.

I assume that Codeweavers Crossover Mac version would do the same for Mac.

But I'd LOVE to see a version that can run on an iOS or Android tablet. That would make using it at LARPs very plausible!

Mobile is an entirely different animal than cross-platform desktop, unfortunately. People have been asking for it for years, and it's something I'd like to do, but it's not in the cards at the moment.
