This package has renamed to vesktop-bin (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vesktop-bin).

https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/383

It seems running electron directly on the app.asar causes autostart "Start With System" to not function when using this package.

~/.config/vesktop-flags.conf file is not being read like the old package. Here is a diff which will add this feature.

This package has renamed to vesktop-bin (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vesktop-bin).

@chrrybmb Thank you,fixed it.

@sewer56 Thank you,you can see the https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=vesktop-bin again.

@Fazzi I've tested on my pc:

When I restart it,it worked well:

Hi there, seems the usage of a flags file in .config is not done in this package like your old vencord-desktop-bin. vesktop.sh should be updated to read the flags file like you had done previously.

Seems like updating this package might be difficult. The app is fully renamed to 'vesktop' now.

I made small adjustments to the PKGBUILD to get this to install the latest version, but due to the name change, you will wind up with e.g. duplicate .desktop files.

Not sure what the policy for things like this are. Do we manually clean up, do we create a new package? etc.

@zxp19821005 The application's name is vesktop, not vdesktop.
