Arch Linux User Repository

Attention

From now, this package will only track stable releases of Joplin.

Usually this package tracks the highest/latest version but v1.5.14 fixed some errors that I thought that could be useful for everyone who uses this package. As you said, the upstream is tagging versions out of order and I don't know if they are working on a new version or if it was a mistake.

For now, the latest version of this package will remain "v1.5.14" for the reason I mentioned above and I will keep monitoring the upstream tags.

Thanks for your feedback @vith.

It looks like the upstream project is tagging versions out of order because they're maintaining the 1.5 line while also working on 1.6, so the version here has gone backwards from 1.6.1 to 1.5.14.

If this package is supposed to track the "latest" release including pre-releases, maybe "latest" should be "highest version" instead of by timestamp.

Hi @ben2talk, self-contained packages like appimages should be installed in /opt as per Arch package guidelines.

I have reinstalled this package several times and I had no icons problems. Could you give me more information about your problem?

1. No icon is apparent
2. If installed via AUR it is put in /opt folder, not suitable for a user.
3. Icons still need manual intervention (10th Dec '20).

Hi @winicius, appimages desktop integration allows you to launch appimages using your desktop environment launcher. I have disabled it for this package.
Are you using something like AppImageLauncher to launch joplin? In order to execute an appimage, all you need to do is to make it executable.

Is there any way to disable the integrate dialog? It always fails and I don't even know what it is supposed to do

Thank you @vith for your feedback. The last update should fix the missing icons. If it does not, do not hesitate to contact me.

I needed to change the Icon field of the .desktop to Icon=@joplinapp-desktop for it to work for me.

edit: Actually that only worked briefly, then went back to showing a broken icon (on gnome-shell).

edit2: Looks like it needed the @, I was just confused by the cache. Icon=@joplinapp-desktop

Thank you @petsam for your feedback. I have fixed the PKGBUILD file. For those who might have issues building the package (1.4.7-1), all you need to do is to update to the version 1.4.7-2 and the problems should be gone. If you still have issues, don't hesitate to contact me.

There are some changes in file names (.png, .desktop). I changed PKGBUILD and installed successfully. Here is the diff:
