[Bug]: kdiff3 version 1.11.0 fails at first when started from command line

[Taar2]

I got a different error with @1.11.1 on Windows 10: wrong entry point into ...\scoop\apps\kdiff3\current\bin\KF6XmlGui.dll. [email protected] doesn't even start.

May relate to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486782.

Yes, those are the same symptoms exactly. Meanwhile, shouldn't someone rollback the manifest to @1.10.7?

This is the base url: https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/kdiff3-1.10.7-windows-x86_64.exe

I can't think I'm the only one experiencing this.

Not sure that pinning manifest to previous version is a good idea since it's only possible via removing checkver/autoupdate sections (otherwise it will be updated automatically again).

I've changed autoupdate template (76a0cff) so that autogeneration for old versions will work, i.e. you could install previous version via:

scoop install [email protected]

Alternativelly you could switch to previous version via scoop reset:

scoop reset [email protected]

I'm getting the same behavior running 1.11 on windows 11.

[aliesbelik]

Please recheck with 1.11.1.

Same error.

I do not think this is scoop specific as I am experiencing the error on the current exe installer (1.11.1) on win10.

same on Archlinux...

Confirming. Random crashes also happen. The Qt6 port of kdiff3 is buggy; I downgraded to 1.10.7.
