Get the bugs fixed, THEN start adding features. It sucks, but someone has to do it.

Re: Possible solution for Linux distribution problems
I've created another flatpak packages, this time for XnSketch and XnRetro.

I am in the process of submitting them to the Flathub repo.

Re: Possible solution for Linux distribution problems
FYI: XnViewMP and XnConvert are now available on Flathub. Not up on the website yet, but can be installed already via console.

Re: Possible solution for Linux distribution problems
The same applies to XnSketch and XnRetro as well.
https://github.com/flathub?q=xnview
Code: Select all
$ flatpak remote-ls | grep 'xnview'
com.xnview.XnConvert flathub
com.xnview.XnRetro flathub
com.xnview.XnSketch flathub
com.xnview.XnViewMP flathub
So, all you have to do is:
1. Install flatpak
https://flatpak.org/setup/
2. Add Flathub repo
http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using ... d-a-remote
3. Install app you want
Code: Select all
flatpak install flathub com.xnview.XnViewMP
Code: Select all
flatpak install flathub com.xnview.XnConvert
Code: Select all
flatpak install flathub com.xnview.XnSketch
Code: Select all
flatpak install flathub com.xnview.XnRetro

Re: Possible solution for Linux distribution problems
One thing I'm missing is a .desktop file on Gnome. I can't find the program on the activities view, I have to launch XnConvert via console.

Wowww thanks a LOT for this (I had problems with XnRetro as it was 32bit and was never able to make it work properly)scx wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 6:45 pm XnView MP, XnConvert, XnSketch and XnRetro are now officially available on Flathub.

Just installed the flatpak of it today and it works!
I have a question, is it normal that XnRetro opens as "Super User"?
In all case Thanks again as i can play now

Re: Possible solution for Linux distribution problems
Yeah, there was a problem with missing dependencies. Fortunately, in Flatpak it is possible to bundle all necessary libraries. That's what I actually did.Patrice. wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 3:47 amWowww thanks a LOT for this (I had problems with XnRetro as it was 32bit and was never able to make it work properly)scx wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 6:45 pm XnView MP, XnConvert, XnSketch and XnRetro are now officially available on Flathub.

In fact, it doesn't run as superuser. Unfortunately, this is a MATE/marco issue (other window managers may be affected as well).
