To be honest, i have no clue how theming is working in ART/RT and if your issue is related to how ART is build. I’ll have a look later.
Regarding performance:
You compare to the AppImage-build provided here? Afaik the AppImage is built with “generic cpu optimization” while the PKGBUILD uses the native cpu optimization for your system. This may or may not gain a performance increase, depending on your CPU and the used compiler version. I have no experience how much of a performance gain these optimization can deliver - if there’s any.
On my system the PKGBUILD-version is noticeably faster on startup, but i haven’t done any comparison about image processing.
The whole point behind doing this PKGBUILD was to have a binary that uses the latest versions of libs and tools (exiftool, …) provided by Arch/Manjaro and to learn something about PKGBUILDs.
I’m hardly using those bundles things like snaps, flatpaks or appimages…but thats just a personal preference.
Having ART in the AUR would be the logical next step. Unfortunately i have never messed with the AUR as a contributor. I guess some additional steps need to be taken before submitting the PKGBUILDs.
I will have a look at this the next days. Any help, especially testing and package review or advise by an experienced AUR packager is greatly appreciated. I’ll track progress in this issue.
$ pacman -U /c/msys64/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake-3.15.6-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake-3.16.4-1 crashes on a segmentation fault.
Is there somebody that ever succeded to build with LTO option on MSYS2? is it worth the effort? How did you proceed exactly ( compiler, linker, options…) ? Are there some problems in the source that can preclude use of LTO?
I am really puzzled
You use the same repo as the same official package repo, you use the last version, the size in official repo is as you say!
So I surely did something but what! I have to search.
I had a discussion with @agriggio on this subject. Perhaps he remembers.
@Carmelo_DrRaw, the official exiv2 version in Mingw seems broken, or at least miscompiled. it seems it doesn’t properly raise exceptions on error. if I compile it myself, everything works. I think @gaaned92 does the same now after we talked about this.
Can you elaborate at bit more on what you are doing?
I just placed the css into the base folder /usr/share/ART/themes/ and blackfoxx appears in the preferences dialog - but i’m not sure if that is the right way to add a theme to ART/RT.
Actually i have no clue whats going wrong, despite using a newer kernel and Cinnamon my Manjaro install should be pretty much the same.
Could you try the updated PKGBUILD? Please uninstall the previous package first.
