First things first: @tim.hellhake -> Thanks for maintaining Rider!

Everything was working fine until commit

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=rider&id=764fbc48d9494bf3eb2c54559cf9bdf00b4f4d16

On my system dotnet was not recognized correctly after this change.

But this might be a local problem.

What was the purpose of this modification? Curious: Did I miss something?

@tim.hellhake Hi!

• You updated Exec and Comment in rider.desktop a926abe but this broke file because you have sed. Remove these 2 lines, please:

sed -i "s#Exec=#Exec=\"${_installdir}/${pkgname}/bin/rider.sh\" %f#g" "${pkgname}.desktop"
sed -i "s/Comment=/Comment=${pkgdesc}/g" "${pkgname}.desktop"

• This line isn't properly replace version:

sed -i "s#Version=#Version=${pkgver}#g" "${pkgname}.desktop"

Result is Version=2023.1.21.4, but I expect should be Version=2023.1.2 or not modified Version=1.4.

Thank you for maintain package!

To @tim.hellhake, please update the sha256sums of rider.desktop file.

Hi, the rider icon is broken. Any plans to fix it?

Well, actually, I deleted the JRE under Rider's directory and that fixed the problem. I believe that the JRE version was originally 17, and now it is 19. I am not sure if changing JRE causes any problem, but so far, it seems to be working, so if I find other problems, I will restore the JRE and set the VM option.

@tim.hellhake The rider icon seems to be broken. Could you try to fix it, please? (Interestingly, the icon of rider-eap works for me. Maybe comparing both PKGBUILDS points to the cause)

@god: Assuming classic UI: Go to

Help -> Edit Custom VM Options

and add:

-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.00

and restart. Your IDE should now start "small" again. Under

View -> Appearance -> Zoom IDE

you can zoom via the new mechanism if it is a bit too small already.

After the last update (2023.1), some parts of the IDE (e.g., the start-up dialogue, the main drop-down menu, etc) became twice as big and placed in a weird place. I tried similar IDE's (IntelliJ, CLion) 2003.1 versions in the official repository, but they did not have that problem. I reset Rider settings to default, and it the start dialogue was still twice as large. I installed the Flatpak version of Rider 2023.1, and it did not have the problem. So, the problem appears to happen only with this Rider. Maybe some configuration is wrong?

Below is a screenshot of my running Rider (AUR) and Rider (Flatpak) of the same 2023.1 at the same time: https://i.imgur.com/mPgC0Hv.png
