Description

@dhigby , When I run setup-langtechdepot.ps1, I can subscribe to folders along the way.

When I run langtechdepot-subscribe.ps1 it shows me what I have subscribed to, and any new or other folders I could subscribe to. Then for any folder I would like to subscribe to I need to type its name exactly.

I wonder if it would be easier for Windows users for us to provide a shortcut to open the default web browser to
http://127.0.0.1:8384/

Or in the original design phase, did you think you wanted to hide the complications and options that people could set wrongly if they see the interface to SyncThing?

If you would rather people used langtechdepot-subscribe than the SyncThing interface, it would be helpful if langtechdepot-subscribe.ps1 numbered the folders I could subscribe to, and then I would just type the number.

If you would like people to use the SyncThing interface, then I don't think we need langtechdepot-subscribe.ps1.
If you do want people to use langtechdepot-subscribe.ps1, then it will need a runner batch file. I have adapted the one that you made for the setup script and made it call the subscribe script and added it to the repo.

What do you think?

Research direction

Start by reading langtechdepot-subscribe.ps1 and setup-langtechdepot.ps1, then compare the proposed runner batch file and the current Syncthing workflow. The maintainer must first choose whether users should use the script or the Syncthing interface; done means that choice and its resulting Windows user flow are clearly specified.
