Describe the bug
After installing Blender 3.0 Stable and attempting to launch it, it did not do so.
Going into the install dir and trying to run blender from there also did not work.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Blender 3.0.0 Stable (under Downloads/Stable)
2. Attempt to Launch it (from the Launcher, via ./blender in a terminal, etc)

Expected behavior
Expected/Desired behavior is that it would launch the application as any other (ie 3.3.14 Daily/4.1.0 Stable)

Screenshots

I have been struggling to get an earlier version of Blender to run on my system, I was curious and hopeful that the Launcher may be able to achieve such a result - perhaps it can, but I'm not certain. The goal I had in mind was/is 2.93.18, although currently the list only goes down to 3.0.0, which may be fine - although it does experience the issue stated above.

The reason for this is, there's an addon for an asset viewer that works best with 2.93.18, but not well on more current versions of Blender. I could run said addons/blender under wine, but even getting another one of the programs I use on it has been painful (Wine breaks so much). It would be ideal not to use wine in this case.

In regards to such however, I am not certain that this issue is due to the app, or just due to those versions having dependencies that are not supported on Linux. If the latter is the case, I wonder if it is possible to somehow have older versions work from install alone. If not, do you have any advice on building the version in a compatible way? I have tried, but sadly have struggled so far to succeed

Describe the bug
If the custom build section is empty, there will be a rebuild button.
If there's any build in the custom build section, this button will disappear.

What's really problematic is it will not automatically load new builds in that section.
and without reload button / other methods, newly added blender build won't be registered in launcher.
as a result, I only have 1 custom build in the launcher, while I have 2 builds in the destination folder.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pressing the document button also opens a 404 page.

Describe the bug
I thought I was going crazy, but it seems that some daily builds are recognized as installed when the latest installed version could actually be a lot older.
The hashes are the same, so something deeper might be going on
Maybe the builds just haven't been updated since then?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• install a daily build
• come back the next day
• check if there are new builds available

Expected behavior
Daily builds are available

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Arch Linux
• Blender Launcher version: main [cloned and ran via python]
• log: Blender Launcher.log

Describe the bug
Certain builds have subversions that don't correspond to their internal returned subversion.

ex. 2.80rc[1-3] translates to 2.80 (sub [74-75])

This discrepancy also stops them from being detected in the download list. You can still download them despite them being installed, and they will error out during a rename task.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Downloads
2. Download any release candidate
3. try to run
4. See error

Expected behavior
Builds having properly named folders and consistent subversions.

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Windows 11

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to create a app menu shortcut to just open my main version directly, without having to manually update a shortcut every time I update it or change to a new version.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a command line option like --launch-quickstart that just launches it and exits, rather than opening the actual launcher.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I manually set up a shortcut which has to be changed all the time and is a pain, which kinda defeats the purpose of the launcher.

Additional context
I'm on Linux

Describe the bug
There are never any stable builds listed, so I have to use the daily builds or experimental.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the 'Stable' tab in 'Downloads'
2. It says 'No new builds available'

Expected behavior
It should show the current stable versions.

Screenshots

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Arch Linux
• Blender Launcher version: 2.0.24

Additional context
It's always done this, I assumed it was a one time thing when I first tried the launcher but that was a few months ago.

Adding a new option in the context menu to update a build if a new version is available
This will be available for the LTS version and the Daly build

We could also add a quick update button

Describe the bug

The help link is invalid.

To Reproduce
Click the help icon. It tries to bring you to https://victor-ix.github.io/Blender-Launcher

Expected behavior
I should be directed to https://victor-ix.github.io/Blender-Launcher-V2/ (i.e. from what I can tell)

Screenshots

Describe the bug
I cannot start blender on linux. Running it in the terminal give this error:
[11800] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIQhgsTD/libpython3.9.so.1.0': dlopen: libcrypt.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Linux Mint 21.2
• Blender Launcher version:1.16

Additional context
I tried searching online for a fix, and it seems that this file is missing from the binary.

Describe the bug
Blender Launcher will be stuck on "Extracting" during the installation of a Blender build and after restarting mark the Blender install as damaged when on a "non-standard" locale (en_DE in my case).
The extraction is completed and the install seems to not be broken, as I can launch and use the Blender install just fine using the executable without Blender Launcher.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set Windows locale to English (Germany) - en_DE
2. Try to install any Blender version via the Blender Launcher
3. "Unknown locale: en_DE" error will pop up after extraction is at 100%
4. Restarting the app will mark the install as damaged

Expected behavior
Not crashing and instead falling back to whatever english locale is the default. Or a option to select with locale should be used perhaps?

Screenshots

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Windows 11
• Blender Launcher version: v2.1.24
• Log file: Blender Launcher.log

Additional context
Launching Blender and settings the Language to English or anything else does not fix it being marked as damaged.

After "installing" Blender Launcher, It's not possible to see stable versions of Blender in the download folder (Stable Builds are currently unavailable)

1. Go to 'Stable - Downloads'

System

• Windows 11
• Blender Launcher version: 1.16.1

Attempted to add Bforartist ver 3.6.1 into my custom folder, but the launcher isn't recognizing the folder.

As an aside, I did try making a custom .blinfo for the folder, but still not appearance

Describe the bug
The app doesn't open at all on linux mint 20.3 cinnamon, I used the 1.16.0 and 1.16.1, the files are indeed executable but are not opening.
I tried to open it from the terminal and I get the following message
' [97538] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEI2RrJzu/libpython3.9.so.1.0': dlopen: libcrypt.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory '
I did a little google search and found some simlar problems with suggestions to install libxcrypt but nothing changed at all.
I even used sudo but it was all the same result.

Describe the bug
Builds aimed at macOS have two flavors, one for metal based macs and the other for intel based macs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Downloads
2. check for stable builds
3. Find a macos build
4. See error

Expected behavior
A macos build shows which type of build it is (silicon/intel)

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: macOS (version irrelevant)
• Blender Launcher version: source (a0b4648)

Additional context
Hovering over the build version reveals that our semver setup correctly identifies and differentiates between silicon and metal builds; we just need to connect that to the display label

Describe the bug
Wayland's security prevents windows from moving themselves (I have not find a way around it), Blender Launcher's movement by click dragging the top, left or bottom of the of the window does nothing.

*Note that the last (and only functional) attempt to move the window was done with the KWin Meta + Left Click Drag function I enabled in my settings.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Log into a Wayland Session
Open Blender Launcher
Try to move it

Expected behavior

It can be seen working normally on X11, where click dragging the sides moves the window.

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Kubuntu 23.10 | KDE Plasma 5.27.8 | Wayland | 6.6.8-x64v3-xanmod1 Kernel.

• Blender Launcher version:
  Blender_Launcher_v1.16.1_Ubuntu_x64
  or
  Blender_Launcher_v1.16.1_Linux_x64 (It does not tell me)

• Log file:
  Blender Launcher.log

Additional context
Given that this is a Wayland thing and not a bug with this tool, not much can be done.
Also the log errors don't appear to be related at all, in my experience, telling a PyQt5 window to move, provides no evidence that an error occurred. The window that was told to move also shows internally that it did move, despite not having moved.
I would recommend added a setting to enable the system Title Bar and Frame to move it, or maybe making it automatic if Wayland is detected.
Edit: Having said that though, Cider 2, Opera, Steam, Modrinth App, and FireFox's custom title bars work just fine on Wayland, no clue why that would be.

Describe the bug

[12069] Failed to execute script 'main' due to unhandled exception!

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Using a Fedora version 37 or up, logged using Gnome Wayland.
• Open a terminal window.
• Navigate to the Blender Launcher

Expected behavior
For Blender Laucher to run.

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Fedora 37/38/39
• Blender Launcher version: any

Additional context
This problem had been reported on Dotbow's repo previously. This is sure to happen on Fedora versions newer than 36 unsing gnome and wayland, but other people have had this same problem under other OSs. This seemed to be related to how Gnome versions 43 where using GTK4 toolkit under wayland or something like this, so I think that anything running Gnome 43 and over under wayland might display the issue.

Describe the bug
It's currently not possible to launch Blender 2.79b from the Launcher

• Log file: Linux build never made a log file.

Additional context
Not necessary info; but my Surface Go 3 doesn't run Blender well and my MSI Laptop (won't turn on) and 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM (SDDM broke) both quit working so I am running with the Deck.

Describe the bug

In some instances, builds are scraped from the site faster than they are collected in the library, marking it as not installed despite... being installed

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Somehow make collecting builds take longer than scraping, Including deleting blinfos, installing a ton of builds, and setting the worker thread count low (Scraping does not count as a worker task!)
2. Launch the app
3. Make a list of installed builds
4. Compare it to builds marked as installed in the downloads

Expected behavior
Builds are marked as installed whether it was detected before or after the related download was scraped

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Arch Linux (I am willing to bet this doesn't matter)
• Blender Launcher version: main

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A couple years ago I tried showing Blender Launcher to someone and they were sad it also doesn't handle the Blender configuration as well. I can see how this is useful, for example different sets of enabled addons. Every blender version (since 2.50 at least) have used these environment variables to handle user configuration:

 $BLENDER_USER_CONFIG     Directory for user configuration files (ex. userpref.blend) .
 $BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS    Directory for user scripts (such as addons).
 $BLENDER_USER_DATAFILES  Directory for user data files (icons, translations, ..). 

Describe the solution you'd like

A configuration handling system where you can assign different blender builds to a specific config / script / datafile directory or all three. In terms of execution, all this should require is either changing these environment variables before running Blender, or changing them in the same command as running blender.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Symlinking different versions of the Blender user config folder to the default config directory. Not ideal.

Describe the bug
The new feature in the Downloads tab (installed versions having the Download button disabled and changed to blue background with text "Installed") is preventing reinstallation after uninstalling.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Library, Daily
2. Right click on a build
3. Select Delete from Drive
4. Wait until deleted
   
5. Confirm build folder deleted from daily folder
   
6. Go to Downloads, Daily
7. Observe "stuck" "installed" buttons.
   

Expected behavior
I expect Blender Launcher to know it uninstalled the versions and allow me to download them again.
Ideally, it would also notice the folder being missing if deleted manually.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: Windows 10
• Blender Launcher version: 2.024
• Log file:
  Blender Launcher.log
  Blender Launcher.ini.txt

Additional context
I am in the Canadian region, with my OS set to Canadian English language.

It is often helpful to start Blender in console (e.g. debugging).
It would be nice to have something like a ticbox to quickly activate/deactivate this from BL interface.

When I build from main the exe is seen as a threat in windows security

do I have anything to worry about?

If you have a custom version of blender (I have a version of Goo-engine) set as a favorite, and you hit reload, the entry will duplicate in the 'Favorites'.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The original DotBow built has linux builds. Those of us with linux workstations and linux render farms would like a linux build being available

Describe the solution you'd like
Please make a linux build available in case the pull request to DotBow's repo is not accepted

Describe alternatives you've considered
A simple prebuilt binary that is included under the releases would be a godsent.

Hi,

Just a little question, I don't understand why Blender 4.1 is only getable in the "Daily panel" instead of the "Stable panel". Normally the Blender 4.1 is a stable released, no ?

Thank you,

Matt

The different Linux building techniques have been common pressure points in GitHub issues, and the more these pile up, the more these containerized and isolated packaging solutions sound enticing...

Describe the bug
When I launched (Blender launcher) I was greeted with a notification claiming that there was an update 2.0.24 I proceeded to update and when update was finished I was unable to open up my previously installed blender builds 4.02 stable\4.02 Kcycles Stable, Instead I was greeted with a red delete button instead of launch and a error "is Damaged" so I deleted it, then redownloaded my Builds & still got the same error.😡 I am now unable to use (blender launcher) and have resorted back to just starting up blender through short-cut on desktop. Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a fix? please and thank you.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Just Update

Expected behavior
After update when blender launcher 2.0.24 starts up you will receive a red delete button over previously installed blender built with a message claiming build is damaged

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System (please complete the following information):

• Operation system: [Windows 11]
• Blender Launcher version: [2.0.24]
• Log file: [ if someone could please explained to me the location of this log file that would be very helpful ! ]

Additional context
I thank you in advance

After a few days, I looked at my logs and it managed to get to around 30k lines...

Describe the solution you'd like
Two solutions I can immediately imagine: throttling the number of lines in the file or clearing it after every restart
