Asked for a workaround

Thanks for flagging this out of date.

I plan not to update the package until the pacman issue mentioned in my last comment is resolved. See the reason below:

The reason: When I upgrade the package everyone will get a notification that it has been upgraded and will most likely upgrade / build it. Then the package is unusable, because building it on a recent arch doesn't work until you downgrade pacman. I haven't tried to downgrade pacman - I am afraid is intruduces complications.

If you disagree on this, please let me know why. Maybe I am wrong here. If you can report back to the pacman issue so that it get solved.

If you want to help, try to build with this updated PKGBUILD

Current pacman makepkg destroys .NET6 binaries on building the package.

See Discussion in forum and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/issues/19.

Downgrade to pacman 6.0.2-9 to build this.

Thanks for the review. On my systemit works fine, but it seems no other dekstop file on my arch uses the path entry in the desktop file and it works without for me, too. I'll remove it.

Runs fine when lauched from Konsole, but in KDE/Wayland, I can only start with the .desktop launcher after I comment out the Path key.
