@aliu if you try to download the exe file directly in the sources array the download site returns you an HTML page not the actual executable so we need to do this workaround

all: I have updated this package to use the 64bit executable on 64bit systems now that the upstream 7zip package is able to extract it. If you have problems please report them and I'll rollback to the 32bit executable even on 64bit systems until we can find a fix

@0RF30 regarding the effects issue (convolver, equalizers, etc.), I recommend to check out easyeffects (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/easyeffects/), it can solve this system-wide, and also can automatically switch presets when switching active audio devices.

The install file can probably be dropped, the update-desktop-database.hook already runs update-desktop-database.

Switching the foobar2000 wine-prefix to Windows 8.1 using winetricks made it work in Wine 10.15.

(Though I have some rendering issues now, related to multi-selection in the album list. Not sure if that's caused by choosing Win 8)

@supermario Perhaps this config could be integrated in the package until Wine fixes the problem?

Wine 10.13 made a change that broke foobar2000.

Thanks @0RF30 for the recommendation to switch sound to ALSA with winetricks, that's what I needed to get pipewire to play sound correctly.

Is there a better place to put the foobar2000 installation files? Right now they get dumped in ~/.foobar2000 and this pollutes the home directory. Maybe $XDG_DATA_HOME/foobar2000 or ~/.local/share/foobar2000 instead?

point release. PKGBUILD needs be bumped to .2 and hashes updated

@cammera See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine_package_guidelines and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories . TL;DR: Portable means you can just extract the files. Per Arch package guidelines, each package should be in its own directory somewhere under /usr/. Not portable means you have to create a ~5MB wine prefix for each package due to Arch's filesystem hierarchy.

TL;DR: It's just how Arch and Linux in general is organized.

Why exactly does this set the install to portable mode? A regular install is significantly easier to manage and update, and doesn't require the user to run root to do so. There's no benefit from mixing the install and the user data that I can see.
