When I run (as an example):

xdg-open heroic://launch/gog/1482265668

I get this error:

kf.kio.core: "/usr/share/applications/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl.desktop" contains supported protocols but doesn't use %u or %U in its Exec line! This is inconsistent.

If I edit the file and add %u it works of course, but it seems like the package should do this. This wasn't happening before which indicates that its probably a recently introduced requirement for KDE. Maybe adding %u will break it for other systems, so I am not sure what would be the appropriate fix.

Edit: It looks like the %U was there before and recent changes to the package broke this.

@FabioLolix: Changing the StartupWMClass value to 'heroic' resolves the issue. Remove the sed bit from the package function and do the following in the prepare function:

desktop-file-edit --set-key=Exec --set-value=heroic --set-key=StartupWMClass --set-value=heroic flatpak/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl.desktop

Latest version 2.15.2-4 needs its .desktop to be fixed for its icon to display properly in gnome dock

Changes in 2.15.2-4 is using default file names for those files, fixed the icon on Cinnamon, I don't have gnome or other DE to test on

Also, alsa-lib, gtk3, and nss are unnecessary dependencies since they are already dependencies of electron.

This package should use electron31 instead of electron. Using unsupported electron versions can cause issues, and such issues will lead to upstream bug reports.

Hello, there is a not blocking gyp error for missing python when building with devtools, same as https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD-AUR_fix/pull/46#issuecomment-2380637987

I have approved the PR on github for building heroic-games-launcher using system's electron but is failing for me
