Arch Linux User Repository

@oneno It's probably an issue with Electron if it was working correctly before. There is not much I can do other than wait for a new version of TV to be released that depends on a newer supported release of Electron that hopefully fixes this problem.

Both versions 2.9.2-1 and the most recent version 2.9.4-1 have "screen tearing" issues when scrolling the mouse wheel forward to increase the width of the bars on a displayed chart especially the most recent bars on the chart.

This problem is not present on version 2.7.2-1

Have checked all other apps used to confirm there is no screen tearing.

@inetol, oh, great find -- looks great! Thanks for your effort! Also: I think it has to do with the fact that the .deb version has only been out for about a month.

@mforthewin They did have a proper dedicated repository for Debian based distros after all, they only keep the last 3 versions (too much to ask for) but it's better than having always the latest release.

I will update this package rn once I check that everything is working properly.

@inetol, it seems to be possible to download specific versions for Windows and macOS releases, however:

https://tvd-packages.tradingview.com/stable/2.8.0/win32/x64/TradingView.msix https://tvd-packages.tradingview.com/stable/2.8.0/darwin/TradingView.dmg

I have not found it to work for the .deb release, however. It might be possible in the future.

@inetol, yes, that is a good point -- I came to the same conclusion. Sadly, there does not seem to be an API for specific releases.

@mforthewin I can't use the deb release because I don't know if previous versions of TradingView are uploaded in the source, nor can I use a source whose package is constantly iterating.

This would be my suggestion for the .deb package (updated to 2.8.0):

Is there any reason why the snap package is being used for packaging? The chrome-sandbox binary is only provided by the .deb package, and most of the /usr symlink stuff would also not be needed, as the .deb package has the right .desktop and .png files in place. I would suggest using the .deb package (which can just be extracted using bsdtar).
