installer's Issues

Flatpak/snap compatibility

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current installer doesn't work in Flatpak.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add flatpak support. You might want to look into the code of betterdiscordctl to see how that would be done.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried changing the discord path to ~/.var/app/com.discordapp.Discord/config/discord, but Discord just spit out a "fatal javascript error".

Not launching the EXE

Not much to say. i attempt to open it and it doesn't execute.

New installer stuck on "Attempting to kill Discord"

When I try to install BD using the newest installer beta, it just hangs at the above message and never continues.

still says discontinued version after downloading new version

After downloading the new launcher and installing it, discord still says its a discontinued version.
Tried uninstalling discord completely and deleting all folders as well

Am on Windows 10 newest updates etc. no other modifications to discord

Unable to fullscreen youtube videos

Describe the bug
I am unable to fullscreen youtube videos. I click the fullscreen button and nothing happens. I can fullscreen normal videos however the taskbar is still showing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Send a youtube video
Click play
Click fullscreen button

Expected behavior
Should fullscreen

System Information:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 1909
Discord Version: Stable

Please fix the download link and the version number confusion.
First I got a update available popup
As you see, it says a update available 1.0.0

Suggestion: I suggest changing “1.0.0” to “1.0.0-beta”.
I clicked “Update Now”, but it couldn’t as you see.

I clicked “Download Installer” Link which is https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp/releases/latest which redirects to https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp/releases/tag/v1.0.0 as you see there is a note of new Installer Releases and download link for v1.0.0 (which is actually v1.0.4 I mean BandagedBD_Windows.exe 112KB)

Suggestion: change “Download Installer” link to https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/

Suggestion change v1.0.0 to v1.0.4, or just delete it.
I downloaded “BandagedBD_Windows.exe 112KB” and opened, as you see

I clicked yes it brings to https://github.com/rauenzi/BBDInstaller/releases/download/v1.0.5/BandagedBD.exe i downloaded it and installed, yet I still get a update available popup like the first image, then I realized that I have to download the beta installer from(https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/)
The result:

Suggestion change “v1.0.0” to “v1.0.0-beta”.

Conclusion: There are 3 repo links
https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp/releases (v1.0.0 download(it's actually 1.0.4) + v.1.0.0-beta link note)
https://github.com/rauenzi/BBDInstaller/releases (v1.0.5 download)
https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases (v1.0.0-beta download)
Suggestion: archive the first repo link. For the second repo link add a note that there is a new beta installer and update the links or whatever.

and since there are three repo, i don't if i should open a issue here or there or there.

Crashes when using discord_arch_electron

Describe the bug
At first, when installing BetterDiscord I get this error:

TypeError: process.electronBinding is not a function

Which can be fixed by changing both of its invocations to:

(process.electronBinding ? process.electronBinding("command_line") : process._linkedBinding("electron_common_command_line"))

After that, BD simply crashes and disables itself but I can't find any crash logs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install discord_arch_electron
Install BetterDiscord on it
Fix the process.electronBinding issue
BD crashes when launching Discord

Expected behavior
Honestly, I didn't actually think it would work so this was expected…

System Information:

OS: Arch Linux
Discord Version: 0.0.14
Electron Version: 12.0.2

Additional Context:

The location of the modules is the same as in regular Discord.
The resources are moved from ./resources to /usr/lib/discord.
app.asar is unpacked into /usr/lib/discord/app.asar.unpacked.
The system electron is used to run Discord through app.asar.
process.resourcesPath points to /usr/lib/electron/resources.

If translations were added, where I can translate?

I am Polish and want to translate BD

New installer takes a long time to load

After I downloaded this new installer, every time that I start Discord the BD logo will consistently flash and say it's loading.

It takes mins for it to load all my themes and plugins (which aren't even a lot).

I actually even did a completely fresh install with no themes and plugins and it still took a long time to load.

I also have automatic loading on and it still takes a long time.

Someone said to try disabling Emotes. I did that and it still takes a long time.

And for clarification, I'm not saying Discord is slow; Discord starts fine and loads fine. It's BD that takes a while to load. And specifically this new version of BD, because I have since reverted to an older version and I don't have this problem with it.

System Information:

OS: Windows 10 Home 20H2
Discord Version: Stable

After being prompted about having to reinstall better discord. I now got a new popup with a new beta installer. Installed it.. Installation said it went ok. But nothing changes.

Same standard interface. The better discord settings options are there in the menu. When I choose a theme I previously created and activate it.. Nothing happens. This being on the latest updated windows 10 version of discord.

Nvm.. Apparently all previously created themes have to be redone as they are invalid

Can you explain this please?

Gift and GIF button removal doesn't work

carshing

every time i install betterdiscord it closes by its self.

Linux installer link 404s

The link to the .appimage file for the installer on the main page is incorrect, and returns a 404 error, requiring users to https://github.com/BetterDiscord/Installer/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta and download the file from there.

Installer binary uses an absurd amount of storage space

Using the binaries from the release page, it comes out to be ~65MB of disk space for the (arguably basic) installer.
I'm thinking that you may have accidentally disabled some compiler optimizations or something when building the binary.
Something like this realistically should take way far less than 65 megabytes.

Better discord not launching

After the update, better discord just stopped working altogether, I tried restarting my computer, re installing better discord, repairing better discord, and uninstalling and re installing but nothing has changed.

Discord is back to its old gray self after the update :(

Better discord is just strait up gone for me right now

Fixed it... kinda

No plugin / theme options

Describe the bug
When BetterDiscord has installed, the plugins and themes tabs under the BetterDiscord category in settings don't appear.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run the windows installer on a PC that has installed BandagedBD.
Open the settings page in Discord once it has been installed.
See error.

Expected behavior
The plugins and themes tabs should appear under BetterDiscord like in the screenshot below.

Screenshots
First - what it was like pre-update (BandagedBD)

Second - what it looks like post-update (Updated BetterDiscord)

Silent install switch

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to create a Windows setup script that installs all my favorite programs and I want as much as it as humanly possible to be silent and installed in the background.

Describe the solution you'd like
A switch you can use when running the installer exe, in the same format as most .msi files (/S, /SILENT, /VERYSILENT, /quiet, etc) that will automatically accept the license agreement, and start the installation immediately. (Preferably without even showing the GUI using /VERYSILENT). Since you can install the program to multiple installations of discord and you cant be certain of which one the user wants to install to, you can also have a secondary switch like /stable, /canary, /ptb.

Example: BetterDiscord-Installer.exe /S /stable

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could use AutoHotKey or some kind of memory alteration but that's really difficult to do consistently, and will probably break after any updates to the software.

Additional context
Please forgive me if something like this is already possible that I missed. I tried all the aforementioned switches as well as looking at the index.js of the code and I see no references to process.argv within the entire project

Update pop-up persists after "Update Now" and after a manual restart

I did not install via /releases. This came from the "old" (already installed) version.

A reinstall with this current installer fixed it.

discord keep crashing on new version

Describe the bug

Use latest release of new launcher
create your own client id for autostartrichpresence plugin (deleted mine) and put it in the config file of plugin
open discord and watch it crash after 15-20seconds

Expected behavior
I expected the new release to not crash my discord because of my plugins or theme and I am willing to use discounted version if the issue isn't fixed

System Information:

OS: Windows 20H2 os build: 19042.867
