Arch Linux User Repository

Finally fixed the plasma6 stuff and proposed the pr upstream: https://github.com/easymodo/qimgv/pull/556 Hope it'll be merged. For the time being, using the patch. Improved the build process for a bit, by adding ccache to speed up re-compile times. After (if) pr's merged, I think this package will become obsolete, and we'll be able to move to qimgv-git Also, an interesting thing I noticed while fixing the kde blur is that it works with other compositors too (hyprland in my case), I guess you just have to have the kde libs installed on your system also?

I don't think adding ccache to makedepends without configuring BUILDENV in makepkg.conf will do anything. Also, you are missing the dependency kwindowsystem in your PKGBUILD.

@Gigas002 Thank you. I didn't know where to ask because this only happens with Qt6 and official repo is still using Qt5. Qt6 version so much nicer and has support for way more formats and I use it daily. Even with this issue, it's way more usable than the default Qt5 version.

@Batou My guess is that it happens because mpv module, used for video playback, is not loaded when you opening images for default, but that's just my opinion from observations. You can try asking in a application's repo, though don't hope the answer will come out quick, since the development is in periodic state: https://github.com/easymodo/qimgv/issues I'll take a look at your problem if I'll find some time, but since I'm not a maintained of an application itself the best I can do is to provide a PR and patch in that case.

@Gigas002 not sure where to ask this so I'll do it here... When I go through images and it hits a webm/mp4 files, it feels like qimgv restarts for some reason. After it restarts, tt sometimes ends up behind some windows so it can be a pain. Any idea why this happens and how to prevent it? Thanks so much!

does this package require KDE?

Good catch, thanks!

I had problems building the package, until I changed the way the patch is handled. Here are my modification (only my changes):

...
patch="556.patch"
source=(git+"${url}".git
        $patch
)
md5sums=('SKIP'
         'baa77b45698b38f63c2e7b9a297196fb')

...

prepare() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${_pkgname}"
    patch -p1 -i "${srcdir}/$patch"
    install -d build
}
...

Hey, @lectrode! Thanks for the catch, I've missed it. While I suppose that should work on clean chroot builds, it still prefers qt5 over qt6 if it's installed, at least that's behavior I experience on my machines. I think the patch is needed until upstream explicitly makes qt6 over qt5. Latest commits doesn't do any of this. If @xiota is willing to add something alike my patch to force qt6 then current package can be made obsolete, I agree.

qimgv-git has a new package maintainer and was updated to support qt6. doesn't look like the source code needs a custom patch anymore.
