nwjs 21.3 on windows creates multiple process

[ShivaniPahuja02]

Hi,

we are upgrading nwjs from LTS version to latest version i.e nwjs 21.3. As per our analysis nwjs on windows creates total 5 process. One process is the main process and one process is associated with DEV TOOL which end as we close the dubug window. We are targeting to rename the nwjs on windows platform. Is thers is any documnetation which states the purpose of all the process invoked by nwjs and their renaming procedure.Below is snapshot for the same.

In my experience it is enough to rename nw.exe to whatyouneed.exe

Please ask questions in our mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nwjs-general

If we simply rename the nw.exe to MyApp.exe then on Windows 10 App name under process tab in the task manager does not reflect the new changed Application name where as Details Tab shows changed name .
Below is the Snapshot for the same
Process Tab Selected on Task Manager

Detail Tab Selected on Task Manager

Where as on windows 7 Rename procedure is working fine.

@rogerwang we used below mailing list as well but there was no further updates on question

We request you to update is there is any change in the rename procedure on Windows 10.

For rename in task list you need update FileDescription field in Version resource section.
You can use commmand tool from (but need compile) https://github.com/electron/rcedit or you can take it already compiled from my repo - https://github.com/VasiliyIsaichkin/rcedit/tree/master/bin/rcedit.exe
Then rename nw.exe to MyApp.exe and run in console:
rcedit MyApp.exe --set-version-string "FileDescription" "MyApp"

p.s. my url fixed
