Hi @FlorianRappl, I'm not that well versed in C#, it would be great if you could have a look. Thanks!

The build script is not running correctly. It tries to copy files from a directory named netstandard2.0 while the files are present in a directory named netstandard2.1. How should we proceed further?

LGTM - only the Randi definition needs to consider currying and the arguments.

It is broken for a longer time - I had no time to fix it until now. The problem is a bit more complex than that - there are some things which require one framework but won't work in another etc. - to fix it certain dependencies need to be replaced.

Hi @FlorianRappl, can we backport this feature into a v2.x release? If yes, what could be the timeline for the same? If no, how should we proceed further? This PR is associated with an issue in the Powertoys repo as well linked here.

[FlorianRappl]

Theoretically yes but the build failure is not related to v3, but rather to the build agent. As such there won't be a successful build with V2 either.

I can have a look but it will take some time as this project is currently not sponsored and therefore without priority.

Surely @FlorianRappl, can you provide some rough ETA for the same?
