@Richardk2n This has been fixed in the latest release (3.6.2.0), you need to install the new package name (desktop-plus-bin) to get the new version

I actually do not know, it is quite possibly the case, that it is ignored.

@Richardk2n This seems to be the same bug as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445804#c18 Breeze provides a 'desktop' icon but (obviously) not a 'desktop-plus' icon. KDE first searches for 'desktop-plus' in the breeze icon theme (i assume the behavior is the same in other icon themes, not just breeze), can't find it, and falls back to removing the last '-' component, which results in 'desktop'. Since that icon exists in the icon theme, KDE uses it. If 'desktop' didn't exist, KDE would fall back to looking at installed applications and it would find our icon.

In the next release I'll rename the installed icons to "gh-desktop-plus", which should solve the problem.

@Richardk2n I thought replaces was ignored in AUR packages. I've added it just in case, thanks for the suggestion!

Consider adding a replaces (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#replaces), this should make the migration even more seamless.

@Richardk2n you are right, I was able to reproduce this bug on Fedora KDE (so it's not Arch-specific). I'll try and file a bug report. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the intended behavior, in that case I'll need to rename the app icons.

The icon renders like the kde desktop icon for me. This might be a kde bug?? If I rename the icon anything starting in desktop- causes the issue, anything else works.

The symlink of cli tool is broken. The 61 line of PKGBUILD should be ln -s "/opt/${_pkgname}/resources/app/static/github" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/github-desktop-plus-cli"

@alpenstorm To fix this error, either uninstall github-desktop-debug or disable -debug packages entirely (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Disable_debug_packages_and_LTO).
