@Hazzl I'm not able to reproduce this issue in a clean chroot. As noted, it appears to be an issue with the tool used to manage the build.

With version 3.4.12-1 I get an error in the setup phase of the build:

./meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Compiler cc cannot compile programs.

Which is weird because cc works without problems when I invoke it manually. It's provided by gcc. If I manually run meson setup, everything works as expected and the package compiles fine. So I suspect a sandbox issue.

This package has been reverted from 3.4.9 and will be held at 3.4.8 until a newer release is available. 3.4.9 appears to have a critical issue that affects core functionality of the app - https://github.com/linuxmint/xviewer/issues/213

Could you please change the license field from GPL to GPL-2.0-or-laterto clarify the license of the package?

@noitemstoshow - Functional issues not related to packaging should be reported to the upstream issue tracker - https://github.com/linuxmint/xviewer/issues

going to the next or previous image is kind of slow even on nvme ssd

@portalbyte noted, though this comment applies to xplayer, not this package

On the current release, it fails to build with this error:

bacon-video-widget.c: In function 'bvw_handle_buffering_message':
bacon-video-widget.c:1926:46: error: assignment to 'GstElement *' {aka 'struct _GstElement *'} from incompatible pointer type 'GstObject *' {aka 'struct _GstObject *'} [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
