first of all, thank you so much for this tool! I really love it AND it does work! ^^ There are 2 issues that I’ve found tho:

  1. The new update on Microsoft Defender deletes the program quickly, labeling the program as a virus, a Trojan (I think because of the .exe) and if I disable MD, it shows a Red Window pop-up warning, telling you there’s a risk if you use it. It wasn’t like this before, so this is definitely due to a new update from Microsoft on Windows. I know it’s not a virus but some people may think it’s one because of it.

  2. The translated .rpy includes Tab characters and Renpy doesn’t allow Tab characters. This can be solved by replacing the Tabs with 4 spaces in the text editor of your preference, but it would be great if this came by default. But like I said, this can fixed quickly.

like i said, this tool is GREAT! so thank you so much again! ^^

Oof...thanks for letting me know, and yeah, I can confirm that Defender is freaking out on my end too.

From what I've learned, Windows Defender (and some other engines) loves flagging apps packaged using PyInstaller as a virus, trojan or whatever else. I'm not sure if a real, lasting solution was ever found (there've been new threads about this on the net for years) but I'll add a warning to the page for now and dig a little deeper soon. Hopefully I can find a workaround or something. Maybe the next Defender update will realize it's a false positive, but the one after that might flag it again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As for the tab thing, I didn't know about that. Gonna put it in once I've got the antirivus situation sorted out!
