@underuse_storage: Right you are, good catch, and thanks for sharing :)

Hi as for the latest update upscayl seems to still be looking for electron36, in order to finalize the migration to electron39 i think the upscayl source should be modified to:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export ELECTRON_IS_DEV=0

electron39 /usr/share/upscayl/app.asar "$@"

and the new sha512sums should be d2c825f204bc6986b209143363c915419caf42d310cb06b9628af083e5b99d32a199afcc9c4eeb73359862e1363a01f5ecbf576d8b2a92e807b8b9236b402635

/usr/bin/upscayl: line 5: electron36: command not found

@Scott-Nx: Thanks for testing, I tested as well and agree that everything appears to work so I'll push this as an update.

If anyone experiences any issues, let me know and I'll revert back.

seems to work fine with electron36 (my config became corrupted when I tried with 37), and the version that was being used is quite old now.

I just tested on the latest Electron (39) and it's working fine

@dreieck: I agree- I was holding out for a new release, but the current version seems to work fine with electron36 (my config became corrupted when I tried with 37), and the version that was being used is quite old now.

I'm going to push an update with the newer electron version, but if anyone runs into any new issues then please report them here first.

Ahoj,

electron27 is really old and end of life.

upscayl-git works with electron33, and currently it is at version 2.15.1.x, so just one patchlevel version number higher than this here.

I recommend depending on the newest electron version as possible (and regularly check which is the newest version supported) so that outdated electron versions can be removed from the installation. (I tested with electron34, successfully.)

Regards and thanks for the package!

@aliu: I was going with the "self contained" part of the description for /opt in the arch package guidelines, but I just checked to see where the (official) element package is getting thrown, and they have that in /usr/share, so I'm going to follow suite. Thanks for highlighting this!

Also, thanks @strubbl for flagging this as out of date. I'm not sure why the most recent release was only made as a tag, but I wouldn't have caught that otherwise. I'll point my update checker at the tags page moving forward.

EDIT: Actually, I wasn't thinking about the fact that this is a -bin package. There's no binary built for 2.15.1, so I guess we'll have to wait until one is made or a newer version is released.

Is there a reason this installs to /opt/? I don't think Upscayl is that big...

@m4jq: you're right, the archive no longer contains a .desktop file (and I'd been adding an Icon entry to it previously so I hadn't caught it). I've added a custom .desktop file that resembles the one in the older version.
