[App request] Discord about pi-apps HOT 27 CLOSED

The desktop shortcut and menu button don't work.
Check the contents of /home/pi/Desktop/discord.desktop - mine contains an entire HTML document in it!

Hmm. what if you just run the command wget http://download941.mediafire.com/nyhl1h8xxcog/18ux1pdfc714tim/discord.desktop -P /usr/bin/discord-linux-armv7l/?

from pi-apps.

That command creates a file at /usr/bin/discord-linux-armv7l/discord.desktop, but it's 43KB of HTML code.

Probably the best option is for you to create your own GitHub repository and host discord.desktop and discord.svg yourself.
Or, you could be creative and reuse icon-64.png for the .desktop file, and then hardcode discord.desktop creation within the install script.

from pi-apps.

was just about to do that

try dis:
Discord.zip

from pi-apps.

Updated the desktop files too

from pi-apps.

Works for me. Though it would be more streamlined if you were to do something like this for install:

#!/bin/bash

DIRECTORY="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$0")")")"
function error {
  echo -e "\e[31m$1\e[39m"
  exit 1
}

cd ~/Downloads
#Download from github
wget https://github.com/SpacingBat3/nativefier-discord-arm/raw/master/assets/discord-linux-armv7l.tar.gz || error 'Failed to download files!'
#Delete tar.gz and move to /usr/bin
tar -xf discord-linux-armv7l.tar.gz || error 'Failed to extract program!'
rm discord-linux-armv7l.tar.gz
sudo mv discord-linux-armv7l /usr/bin/ || error 'Failed to move folder!'

#Create desktop shortcut
echo "[Desktop Entry]

Discord.zip

That was a lot more work than anticipated

from pi-apps.

Don't worry, you will get the hang of it.
If there's anything I can do to streamline the app creation process, please let me know.
I will add Discord to the official repo soon.

from pi-apps.

Thx bro

from pi-apps.

oop i think its broken again

from pi-apps.

No don't worry, I'm fixing it all up and trying various scenarios on it to make it BULLETPROOF. :)

from pi-apps.

Your version of install.sh is slightly broken I think.

from pi-apps.

tried installing and the program folder didnt even get moved, the icon doesn't show up for the shortcuts, and the menu bar shortcut isn't even there lol

from pi-apps.

I know. Don't worry.

from pi-apps.

OK it's been added to the repo.

from pi-apps.

I updated the repo and it auto started installing discord. Is that supposed to happen?

from pi-apps.

Also, the reason I didn't want to use the icon for discord in /apps/discord is that the middle is transparent.

from pi-apps.

Yes. Pi-Apps remembers that Discord was installed prior to the update.
When it updates, it uninstalls, copies the new files in, and then reinstalls.

If Discord had been uninstalled prior to updating, Pi-Apps wouldn't have installed it. APT does the same thing.

from pi-apps.

Probably should fix up the icon tho.

from pi-apps.

I noticed the bad transparency in the image. As that transparency is undesirable in all cases, I will fix the icons.

from pi-apps.

icons fixed.
