Vidcutter dependencies

[bornagainpenguin]

Tried to use my usual AppImage and it wasn't launching on Ubuntu-Mate 22.04 LTS beta. Looked to see if I was behind a version and I was so I grabbed the more recent version and placed it in ~/.local/bin and tried again. Still not working, I ran the command in terminal and got an error message that was listed here. Tried removing the AppImage and installing from PPA, this time I got a dependency message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 vidcutter : Depends: python3 (< 3.10) but 3.10.1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed

Any suggestions on how this can be resolved? Thank you for the wonderful app.

Attempting to use the AppImage instead resulted in nothing displaying after a few moments. I copied the command from my applications menu into the terminal and was rewarded with this output:

Python path configuration:
  PYTHONHOME = '/tmp/.mount_VidCutlAeogb/usr/'
  PYTHONPATH = (not set)
  program name = 'python3'
  isolated = 0
  environment = 1

  import site = 1
  sys._base_executable = '/usr/bin/python3'
  sys.base_prefix = '/tmp/.mount_VidCutlAeogb/usr'
  sys.base_exec_prefix = '/tmp/.mount_VidCutlAeogb/usr'
  sys.platlibdir = 'lib'
  sys.executable = '/usr/bin/python3'
  sys.prefix = '/tmp/.mount_VidCutlAeogb/usr'

Again, any advice appreciated and thanks for this wonderful application.

Same here, but now in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as is not a Beta anymore. Good to see a dependency update in consequence, as seem to be that if you force the installation, also when you have broken dependencies, the software works.

One can only hope that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS no longer being in beta would mean that the issues here will be resolved soon.

AppImage is no longer supported unfortunately, unless I get the time to update and fix current issues with the build. Alternatively, Flatpak and Ubuntu PPA options are recommended depending on what distro you're on.

Have recently updated both the PPA, snap and flatpaks.
