WinSignHelperV2 (gui for signtool.exe) is now available in RevOnline/LivecodeShare

Thank you, Matthias. I use your “mrSignNotarizeHelperV4.livecode” project regularly. I love how it wraps in DropDMG.

I also wrote a GUI for code signing with a USB token.  My project works well in a VM on an Intel Mac with Windows 10. However, I was hoping to run a VM on an ARM Mac using the new ARM version of Windows 11. I have been using UTM <https://docs.getutm.app/> and Windows 11 Pro (version 23H2) on an M2 MacBook Pro and most things work well... except that all of my attempts to code sign inside that VM fail. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about what part of this setup might be failing.

Also, I noticed that WinSignHelperV2 appears to use the PowerButton widget “com.livecode.widget.powerbutton” which may not show up as expected if the user doesn’t have the additional LiveCode Enhancements bundle installed. (I didn’t have it installed on one of my VMs)
