I have created a new package: xnviewmp-system-libs. This is exactly the same build, except that the bundled Qt/icu libs are removed. Please try it if you want to use XnView without the bundled libs, and discuss any issue related to this configuration here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xnviewmp-system-libs/. Do keep in mind that this is an experimental package though, and things may break when I try to fix other things...

If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.

The PKGBUILD now references the latest versioned archive, as a result of which it should keep working if a new version is released. However, upstream sometimes updates released archives in place, in which case the checksum will fail and a manual intervention is required.

@dsoul: correct, and good catch I forgot to update the dependency! Fixed in 1.12.1-2.

Looks like they migrated from qt5 to qt6

It seems there is a new version 1.11.7 since September 21st; Corax, could you make an update? Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks @merlock. I uninstalled the package and switched to the xnviewmp-system-libs version which seems to be running fine. Not sure if the difference is real, or if it was just the clean reinstall that fixed the problem.

@icans: The term "arch-based" is meaningless.

Me: Arch+Sway+Wayland+xnviewmp == no problems.

I'm having major problems with the xnviewmp 1.9.2-2 package running on EndeavourOS (Arch-based) with Wayland. The application runs but often an attempt to navigate the file system (e.g. "File-Open") causes the UI to lock up. After a few more clicks you get the "Application not responding, click to terminate" popup.

It would be helpful to know if any other users are seeing this on Arch+Wayland.

Thanks for reporting this @Marsa! This should now be fixed.

For proper Wayland support, the .desktop file should be named XnView.desktop like in the original packages as QGuiApplication::setDesktopFileName("XnView"); is used by the app to set its name. The executable name doesn't matter. See https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=48031

Apologies I'm away until mid-May without access to an x86 Linux machine. Will update to 1.8.8 (or whatever the latest version is) when I'm back.
