You must use a desktop compatible with an XDG backend that supports the "App Chooser Portal": https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#List_of_backends_and_interfaces

These have been listed as optional dependencies. You must install the XDG backend to suit your DE.

@yochananmarqos If you're building from source, check the docs we have for package maintainers. You want set INSTALLATION_METHOD_PACKAGE_MANAGER on build.

@erri120: I have a WIP PKGBUILD building from source, but it fails for some reason.

why do you think this package needs java-runtime? This is a C# project...

Good point. Yes, it was because namcap thought it was necessary and I didn't look very closely:

nexusmods-app-bin I: Dependency java-runtime detected and satisfied (found class files opt/NexusMods.App/runtimes/osx-x64/native/7zz)

@Abzie: The Mac & Windows runtimes should be removed:

rm -rf "$pkgdir"/opt/NexusMods.App/runtimes/{osx,win}-x64

namcap probably suggested snappy as a dependency because rocksdb also has snappy as a dependency. The App is using RocksDB under the hood and the RocksDB NuGet package provides native libraries, so it might recommend snappy because of that.

It's still probably a false positive, although I haven't verified this. My system has snappy installed as a dependency for ffmpeg.

Hi erri120, I have added you as a Co-maintainer for this package.

With regards to both questions on deps from yourself and yochananmarqos these deps are highlighted from namcap. I dismissed the java-runtime requirement for the same reason, it's a C# project.

snappy was another dep identified by namcap. desktop-file-utils provides update-desktop-database as per upstream docs.

I'm one of the developers working on the project, thanks for taking the time to create an AUR package for the App. I'm running Arch as well and would've probably created a package at some point.

Although we publish both an Archive, and an AppImage version, it's recommended to build from source if you create a package. I wrote a wiki page for this that you can find in the repository.

I'm curious about the snappy requirement, that seems unnecessary.

@yochananmarqos why do you think this package needs java-runtime? This is a C# project...

@Abzie: In summary, you're making this more complicated that it needs to be with useless variables and unnecessary functions.

There are missing dependencies on java-runtime and hicolor-icon-theme. No idea where you got desktop-file-utils from. Also, SVG icons go in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/.

Just extract the source archive in the package function, no reason to have a prepare function at all. Improved PKGBUILD.

Currently, only Stardew Valley is officially supported.

To use other games, click the + next to "My Games", then in the new tab click "Settings", then toggle on "[Unsupported] Enable Unsupported Games" and restart the application.
