I wanted to use sdx kit on my chrono-timer script (whose source is 
available on the wiki). However, it kept generating errors indicating 
problems with rsync not being able to delete some files.

It turns out that you can't have a dot file in a wrapped app. In other 
words, no ".file" or ".folder" or it will complain and error out.

I can't find more info on sdx.kit so I wonder if this is some sort of a 
feature or if it is indeed a bug.

You may look on the wiki:

I suppose it is more a feature than a bug.


sdx qwrap also omits other special files like subversion files.

Take care,

Hello,
I made a mini guide
in command prompt:
1 - 2  - 3b

#tclkit2.exe  is a copy with a different name
#If there is already an executable file
# 0
tclkit sdx.kit unwrap cromo.exe

# Otherwise

# 1
tclkit sdx.kit qwrap chromo.tcl

# 2
tclkit sdx.kit unwrap chromo.kit

# 3a without rutime
#tclkit sdx.kit wrap chromo.kit

#3b with runtime
tclkit sdx.kit wrap chromo.exe -runtime tclkit2.exe

#end

cromo.exe works for me without error message

just a note about the icon,
but can't help

To see the error, you will need to include a dot file in your project. 
Your example uses a single source file so perhaps try changing the name 
of your source file to ".chromo.tcl" and see if you get errors.

If you are looking for a possibility to quickly transform one file to an 
executable, LUCK may be great for you:

I had overlooked the point. My mistake.

tclkit sdx.kit qwrap .cromo.tcl

Fails under both Linux and Windows.
Don't know if vfs or/and the OS has anything to do with it.
So I have no idea
