The new version works perfectly. Thank you!

Note: state and settings from previous are not compatible with the latest--1.0--version.

Does the updated version still have the flashing issue on KDE6-Wayland?

New upstream URL: https://github.com/artemsen/pipewalker

Doesn't work under KDE6-Wayland. The program windows flashes continuously and must be killed with -9 from a terminal session to regain the control of the machine.

Version 0.9.5 is available from https://github.com/artemsen/$pkgname/archive/refs/tags/v$pkgver.tar.gz. This version applies the fix that I mentioned earlier vis-à-vis the format-security error, and removed the unneeded stuff from "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/menu. It also includes a manpage but it isn't automatically installed.

To build the new version you'll need to run autoreconf -f -i

I've made a patch to enable XDG Base Directory Specification compliance:

        settings_file += PWS_FILENAME;

Which has been merged upstream though after the 0.9.5 release.

In my build, I installed the extra/scheme.png file to "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/scheme.png and updated the manpage to reflect this with sed -i 's|examples/||' "extra/${pkgname}.6". I didn't want to create an 'examples' directory just to contain a single file.

To fix the format-security error when compiling, I added sed -i '241s/msg/"%s",msg/' src/main.cpp within build().

depends also on 'libpng'
