Hi! First of all, thank you for this awesome project 🙌 I'm trying to set up czkawka_gui on macOS and I wanted to ask for clarification about the setup steps and propose an improvement to the docs and CLI flow.
error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `<path>` or any parent directory
Realized I hadn’t cloned the source repo yet — once I did:
git clone https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka.git
cd czkawka
cargo run --release --bin czkawka_gui
— it worked as expected 🎉
❓ Questions
Could we clarify in the docs that compiling with Cargo requires cloning the repo first? The current flow might confuse users coming from the brew install czkawka step who don't realize they need the source code locally.
What’s the relationship between the Homebrew-installed czkawka and compiling from source? Should users do either install OR compile, not both?
Would it make sense to:
Mention in the README that cargo run assumes you're inside the repo with Cargo.toml?
Add a helpful hint when the Cargo.toml file is not found (if possible) that suggests cloning the repo?
