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.

I suppose a pkgrel bump was needed in case some AUR manager cached the PKGBUILD - fixed it now (I had already updated the SHA without a pkgrel bump).

@chang-zhao

It will likely be fixed soon. Pierre (upstream XnView) did a "silent switch" of the hosted file, without renaming or bumping the "release" number. In fact, unlike the packaging system of a Linux distro, most upstream projects don't have an arbitrary "release" counter.

So if the software developer doesn't append "-1" or "-2" to the filename, yet they keep the software version the same, it will yield a wrong checksum for the previously-working PKGBUILD.

Trying to update from 1.7.2-1 to 1.8.0-1, I get

@muziknavi: the vast majority of the applications I've got installed have short, lowercase desktop files, for instance firefox.desktop. It sounds like there is something else that is wrong, but I'm not using Wayland so can't test it directly.

Because of wrong desktop filename the icon is not recognized in GNOME, Wayland. Probably it should be com.xnview.XnView.desktop to match wmclass instead of xnviewmp.desktop. At least it fixes for me.

Upstream does not version the released archives

They actually do.

I think you should update the PKGBUILD so that it pulls the tarballs from this URL:

https://download.xnview.com/old_versions/XnView_MP/

This will avoid the issue of "invalid SHA256", since it will download a specific version, rather than the generic "XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz".

So instead of this:

source=("XnViewMP-linux-x64_${pkgver}-rel${srcrel}.tgz::https://download.xnview.com/XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz"

You should have this:

source=("XnViewMP-linux-x64_${pkgver}-rel${srcrel}.tgz::https://download.xnview.com/old_versions/XnView_MP/XnView_MP-${pkgver}-linux-x64.tgz"

Don't be fooled by "old_versions" in the URL. Pierre adds the files on the same day of release.

@jrichard326: sorry for that, I failed to realise that as well as updating the Qt5 libs, 1.4.0 moved from qt5-webkit to qt5-webengine. I've updated the dependencies accordingly.

Version 1.4.0-1 upon launch in terminal: /opt/xnviewmp/XnView: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5WebEngineWidgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I added qt5-webengine as a dependency in PKGBUILD, built the software and now it launches.

@viniball: no idea, I'm on icu 72.1 and it works fine. What does ldd /opt/xnviewmp/XnView | grep libicu say?
