I'm not sure that's an advantage. The package installs a .desktop file, it should run the executable from that package.
It also appears that upstream is now shipping a .desktop file, I'll probably switch to that with the next release.

Yes, that would be nice. Using $PATH allows users to overwrite/wrap the application without having to overwrite the desktop entry file in ~/.local/share/applications as well.

That's a possibility. I would prefer to point it to the actual program instead of letting it find the symlink, but if there are advantages to doing it that way, we can do that.
jfrankenau commented on 2017-08-31 20:09 (UTC)
Then how about only changing
Exec=/opt/master-pdf-editor-VERMAJ/masterpdfeditorVERMAJ %f
to
Exec=masterpdfeditorVERMAJ %f
in order to keep the version number but still use a non absolute path?

"masterpdfeditor4" i what upstream calls it, I'm not going to change that.
jfrankenau commented on 2017-08-31 19:00 (UTC)
Scimmia, could you change the path in the desktop entry file from
Exec=/opt/master-pdf-editor-VERMAJ/masterpdfeditorVERMAJ %f
to
Exec=masterpdfeditor %f
and add a symlink from /usr/bin/masterpdfeditor to /usr/bin/masterpdfeditor4 or /opt/master-pdf-editor-VERMAJ/masterpdfeditorVERMAJ?
Considering that the package is called masterpdfeditor and not masterpdfeditor4, I believe this would be a sensible choice and additionally make sandboxing using Firejail simpler. Thank you!

When there are more than one printers, even if you select the other printer, masterpdfeditor will still print using the default printer.
This behaviour occurs on multiple machines. Other software such as evince can print using the selected printers with no problems on these same machines.

Update v.4.2.60.qt5, please

Which is a problem with your local imagemagick and perl-xml-parser packages, nothing to do with this package.
