Hi thn,
Since bcompare package is managed by pacman, it only supports updates through it. For the UI update function to work, it would require some sort of integration with the pacman package manager which I don't think it will ever be added.
Regards.
Hello Musikolo, does the AUR package support the built-in update function of bcompare? When I click on "New version available" and then on "Click here to download" I get an "Error downloading file". Best, thn
I won't update to version 5.1.7.31736 because it only contains a couple of changes for Windows and macOS. Please find the change log at https://www.scootersoftware.com/download/v5changelog
Regards.
Hi @demm,
Thanks for bringing this up! The issue should be fixed now. Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Regards.
Hi @JP48,
I don't know what build tools you're using, but yay, paru and other AUR helpers aren't officially supported. Please try the following and install the packages you need:
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/bcompare.tar.gz && tar xfz bcompare.tar.gz && cd bcompare && makepkg -crs
I hope it helps.
The nautilus v3 extension does not work (for me) anymore.
Instead, of installing ext/bcompare-ext-nautilus.amd64.so to /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/bcompare-ext-nautilus.so, the v4 extension from ext/bcompare-ext-nautilus.amd64.so.ext4 should be installed to /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-4/bcompare-ext-nautilus.amd64.so(note the removal of the .ext4 extension).
Thank you for maintaining this package!
Thanks for your quick answer.
No, I neither have KDE5 nor bcompare-kde5 installed. removing bcompare-kde6 did not change anything. reinstalling bc-kde6 did not trigger kinit.
Warning: ksystemstats: local (6.4.0-1) is newer than extra (6.3.6-1)

Checking inter-conflicts...
To install (1):
kdoctools5 5.116.0-2 (Required By: kinit5) extra 605.3 kB
To build (2):
bcompare 5.1.6.31527-1 (5.1.5.31310-2) AUR
kinit5 5.116.0-4 AUR
To remove (1):
kinit 5.116.0-1 (Conflicts With: kinit5)
@JPT48, kinit (now, kinit5) is only required by the bcompare-kde5 package. So, considering this fact, the options you have are as follows:
If you use KDE Plasma 5, you need to build kinit5 from AUR to install bcompare-kde5 successfully.
If you don't use Plasma 5, you should removebcompare-kde5 from your system, as you won't need it.
I hope that helps. Regards.
the recent update asks for kinit5 from AUR to replace kinit from core. I believe it's not a good idea to replace a core component?
is there a way to fix this?
thanks

You can build the last version of Beyond Compare v4 I packaged (
4.4.7.28397) by doing this:Since you have a license for v4, you might be interested in looking at the upgrade policy at https://www.scootersoftware.com/kb/upgradepolicy .
I hope it helps!
