If anyone, like me, uses this on GNOME on Wayland with Fractional Scaling (due to a 14" 2560x1440 screen in their laptop), you may find this Electron trick useful to make the app work in native Wayland mode instead of xwayland (so that it does not appear blurry) - run the app with this command:

losslesscut --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

To make the change persist, change the Exec=... line in /usr/share/applications/losslesscut-bin.desktop to:

Exec=losslesscut --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

It would be probably great if the .desktop file in this AUR would have this automatically included if Wayland is detected as the display server, but I'm not sure how do you go about this; Also this seems to be a recurring theme with all Electron apps, so I'm thinking about some system-wide solution to be brought up on Arch upstream - no point in having every single Electron app packager waste the effort repeating this.

@fabrixx Apparently it works again by adding the parameter --no-sandbox when invoking losslesscut with the CLI as described here https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/1082

However, a better workaround is ~~altering losslesscut.desktop~~ duplicating /usr/share/applications/losslesscut.desktop to $HOME/.local/share/applications/losslesscut.desktop and add the --no-sandbox to the Exec= rule.

@soloturn I'm using the ffmpeg packaged binary. Is he going to release a binary without ffmpeg?

using the arch standard installed ffmpeg is now supported: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/issues/400#issuecomment-1055073382

Thanks @mischka. See if the change I made helps.

losslesscut.desktop should have the following included so the icon is correctly displayed for running processes:

StartupWMClass=losslesscut

@dmp1ce I installed the application, and got that error. And I was able to fix it with the command I mentioned in the previous comment. I don't know how to reproduce it. I added the comment so that it may help someone else in future.

@archisman, How can I reproduce this error? Just starting the application looked fine to me.
