Windows version about textpieces HOT 4 CLOSED

There is no reason for it to be impossible. But current version uses some Linux-specific features:

• Text Pieces uses XDG Desktop Portals to open script files via DBus. This can be replaces with cross-platform GLib.AppInfo.launch_default_for_uri.
• Text Pieces' tools' scripts use shebang to select interpreter. So for Windows we have to implement mechanism of changing file extension basing on its content or ask user about filetype to allow Windows launch scripts correctly.
• We have to change some file locations in case of Windows if we want Text Pieces to work with it.
• Some scripts uses Bash and UNIX utilities. We need to rewrite them in Python or bundle bash and these utils with Text Pieces.

I am not Windows user and have no Windows machine, so I have no desire, need and ability to do this work, but if it will be done by somebody else without making the application less maintainable and code less readable, I don't have reasons to reject patches.

Unfortunately I do not possess skills required to do that. Maybe there's somebody with skills and will to do it.

Also I can advice you to use Woop on Windows. This app does almost the same as my and it's inspired by Boop like my app. But it's for Windows.
