Comments
I agree. I'd love to see this. |
@Lvaskz what are your thoughts on us working together to get it to work as a flatpak? I wouldn't mind giving it a try. |
Hi, I am not developer, but I made flatPak app request, here you are in the right place to see menulibre as flatPak https://discourse.flathub.org/t/menulibre-request-flatpak/870 |
Sorry for the late response. I haven't gotten any notifications from this. I'll try to do what I can. |
Okay, so I initialized the manifest: https://github.com/TheEvilSkeleton/flatpaks/blob/org.bluesabre.MenuLibre/org.bluesabre.MenuLibre.yaml The program launched! Only thing I now have to do is try to get it to work, since it doesn't look through application files. |
@bluesabre I hope you don't mind the ping. Is there a way to make MenuLibre search inside
|
Appeditor has the same problem, well I don't know if some other package as appimage or snap will be more convenient for that. |
Maybe a patch to check inside |
@TheEvilSkeleton Sorry for the delay on this! I'll work on getting this added over the weekend. |
@bluesabre awesome. Just a little tip: you can fork my |
@TheEvilSkeleton @Lvaskz Thanks for the help here. I think I've got it all working with the below PR if you want to test it out. |
@bluesabre good news and bad news. The good news is that MenuLibre doesn''t complain about AfterBeforeThe bad news is that the flatpaks don't show up in MenuLibre. TheEvilSkeleton/flatpaks@c034ae3 If you want to try out the flatpak, assuming you have the flathub repository added and git clone https://github.com/TheEvilSkeleton/flatpaks
cd flatpaks
git checkout org.bluesabre.MenuLibre
flatpak-builder --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub --install build-dir org.bluesabre.MenuLibre |
@bluesabre I just tried to change a bit in the manifest, but all of them failed to see the Flatpak packages. I really don't know what to do now. |
@TheEvilSkeleton I took another crack at it. However, I'm starting to get the feeling that the sandboxed nature of flatpaks is what's actually preventing them from being displayed. I also experimented with another flatpak'd app editor, but it doesn't list flatpaks either. |
@bluesabre I gave the Flatpak package rw access to I guess the most we can do is ask help in #flatpak on freenode? I don't know how to code, so I cannot help much. |
Hi,
here some information for changing mind. Appimage has not that issue, I guess |
I ran into a similar problem with my app, here is the workaround for flatpak |
@sonnyp you're a godsend, thanks a lot! |
😊 One thing I forgot to mention is that it would make menulibre even better as it will list desktop entries with broken executables - allowing the user to delete or fix them. |
Hmm... it only found some invalid desktop entries, not all of them. The rest seems to work well. I was able to edit apps without a problem and it does its job. @bluesabre is it okay if I submit an MR in the Flathub repo so we can start making some bundles and test? |
@TheEvilSkeleton Definitely, please do! |
You might want to patch further to disable checks for |
I confess, I'm not a programmer 😅 so I don't know what these are. I just enjoy creating Flatpak manifests. |
