it was zsh
Not sure, which shell had problems, but it works on both zsh and bash with my last build gpg4win-5.0.1-beta24-x86_64.AppImage. So i guess, i can close this.

Fixed for KF6 versions.
I'm pretty sure that this has already been fixed with the changes made for T8083: Kleopatra: Use blue icon for Gpg4win and GPD. build-appimage.sh now always replaces the Breeze icons shipped with the AppImage with the appropriate head icon.
Won't fix for vsd3x

The AppImage now displays the same version as the Windows builds, i.e. in particular Gpg4win-VERSION for the "default" build.
Feb 3 2026
With the recent changes to the build system the current version numbers for the Beta versions of the MSI packages are 4.0.90.<somenumber> for VSD, 5.0.90.xxx for GPD and Gpg4win. Thus we override the standard micro version with 90 to indicate beta versions. Obviously this will require to de-install a MSI beta version before installing the regular version. But we are somewhat constraint by the Windows versioning scheme.
Is the displayed version 4.0.0.260370 right for the appimage? shouldn't this also display the gpg4win version?
Looks good to me on gpg4win-5.0.1-beta24 @ archlinux:

Ready for testing

Current state needs to be tested as soon as T7509: gpg4win: Make the AppImage build work with the new Docker-based build script is resolved

I have cleaned up the patches for the AppImage. Now the build fails at okular because it needs PlasmaActivities. In master this dependency has been removed so that I'm going to wait for Sune's update of Gpg4win to Qt 6.10.x, etc.

In gpg4win-5.0.0-beta413 @ win11 there's a failing patch for kcrash:

after https://dev.gnupg.org/rW14d86c01819ef3ddbc7f03b34e821e367cea3b02 only qrencode is left:
currently not testable. some urls in download.sh are broken (404):

Okay. We now replace the standard Breeze icon of kleopatra with the red head for vsd and with a new blue head for gpd. The replacements are used for the About action and in the About dialog, but kwin (X11) insists on using the standard icon as window icon. And the system tray also shows the standard symbolic Breeze icon instead of the replacements. strace shows that the replacement icons embedded in the AppImage are loaded. No idea why kwin and the system tray still use the standard icons.

Kleopatra with Breeze style:

Needs to be tested/verified by other developers. In short you do
./autogen.sh cd packages ./download.sh cd .. ./build.sh --appimage --builddir=...
If you omit the --builddir=... option then ~/b/SRCDIRNAME-appimage will be used.
Building an AppImage including Kleopatra and Okular works now (again) in the gpg4win-5-branch.

aheinecke: Yeah, but I did quite some changes to build.sh for a real out-of-source build (w/o copying files)

Just so that its not overlooked and you are meaning something different. But I had the Qt6 / KF6 branch working with the --appimage parameter.
Feb 4 2025
Tested locally:
- Build the Docker image for building the AppImage (using the archived CentOS 7 packages).
- Build an AppImage for Gpg4win 4.4 with the unsplit gpgme repo.
- Build an AppImage for Gpg4win 4.4 with the split gpgme repos (T7262).

So we need a way to launch scdaemon via userv and make sure that the scdaemon user gives proper permissions to its socket file. gpg-agent also nees to check for a proper version of scdaemon and gpgme needs to be aware of this as well (if it want to directly connect to scdaemon).

this works now:
@ebo: I just a did a test build: gnupg-vs-desktop-3.2.0-beta178-x86_64.AppImage in my directory

But shouldn't we then rather rename the shortcut of Kleopatra to: GnuPG VS-Desktop - Kleopatra ? That would make it discoverable under both names.
Our sales team gets the support calls and they have to explain that really often.
