Re: Who uses FLATPAK?
I have been running OpenCPN via flatpak on Rocky Linux 9.x.

Ok that's very helpful. What kind of machine are you running this on?
x86_64, ARM (aarch64), PowerPC (ppc64le), and IBM Z (s390x)
Also are you running OpenCPN 5.10.2 or 5.8?
It would be very helpful to me if you could go to Options > Plugins and Update the Plugin Catalog and then installing, enabling and starting these two plugins:
Weatherfax 1.10.10
AISradar 1.4.18
And just let me know if the first menu appears without the Plugin Failing.
I would like to confirm that our Flatpak builds work. Thank you.
I am going to be rebuilding about 25 plugins with this code and it needs to be confirmed that it at least installs properly.

Re: Who uses FLATPAK?
It's late for me tonight. I'll give it a try in the morning. But, FYI x86_64, running on an older Dell Precision with a Core i7 processor.

Re: Who uses FLATPAK?
I use Flatpak on the Pi4 and Pi5. OpenCPN 10.5.2, Bookworm.
The plugin manager says: flatpak-aarch64:22.08
In the non-flatpak version, the o-charts plugin stopped working a while ago on my system, which I have not investigated in depth. There is a post, which is unresolved yet. Mainly, because I was temporarily confused: reporting trouble, withdrawing it and then reporting it again.

Yes, both plugins install without issue. Icons for each appear on the portside toolbar.

Excellent. Thank you. I will be deploying 25 plugins using the template
- flatpak-x86_64-22.08-flatpak - Success
because you've tested those two plugins on your machine. Other users who enjoy flatpak-x86_64-22.08 should thank you for doing this simple test.
-----------------
FLATPAK USERS WE NOW NEED THESE TESTED:
- flatpak-aarch64-24.08-flatpak
- flatpak-x86_64-24.08-flatpak
DONE
- flatpak-aarch64-22.08-flatpak - Success
- flatpak-x86_64-22.08-flatpak - Success
