    Fixes:

    • "Add VST Association" button failed instantly (step: command not found) - setup-exe-association.sh called step/ok/warn without defining them.
    • .exe double-click association did not actually work even after the button succeeded: real .exe files resolve to application/vnd.microsoft.portable-executable, which was missing from the registered mime types.

    Changes:

    • GUI now defaults to Spanish (matches the existing Spanish .exe handler prompts).
    • Recolored the app theme from orange to a blue/grey Material 3 dark scheme.

    Fixes the root cause of installers silently doing nothing: our custom Wine build has no 32-bit/wow64 support, but FL Studio's own installer and many plugin installers are 32-bit stubs. This is now detected and transparently routed to system Wine.

    Also adds .exe file-manager integration (double-click a .exe -> asks if it's a VST/plugin installer, in Spanish) and an "Add VST Association" button in Advanced.

    Root-cause fix for installs that appear to hang forever after the pkexec prompt.

    Root cause

    preflight() treated the system wine package as a hard dependency and checked for it with command -v wine, even though the script had already resolved and verified its own patched Wine build ($WINE) a few lines earlier. On any machine without system Wine installed, this forced an unnecessary pkexec + pacman -S wine, pulling in a large multilib package that was never actually needed. Worse, the GUI only rendered output on newlines, but pacman/curl progress meters update via carriage return (\r) with no newline until a download finishes — so during that whole unneeded install, the GUI showed nothing and looked completely dead.

    Fixes

    • Drop the system wine package from preflight dependency checks — the already-resolved custom build is verified separately, so no bogus system package install is triggered
    • GUI output reader now splits on \r as well as \n, so progress-bar-style output (pacman, curl, etc.) streams live instead of being swallowed for minutes at a time
    • fl_privileged_run and the root-side install-packages helper now print explicit before/after trace lines around any pkexec/sudo step, so a stuck privileged step is visible instead of silent

    Builds on 1.1.0 (real success/failure reporting, live status line, Cancel button, Repair Wine Prefix).

    Fixes silent install/plugin failures in the GUI: the Finished dialog previously claimed success regardless of the actual exit code, and progress/errors were only visible on the Advanced tab. This release plumbs real exit codes through to the UI, adds a live status line + Cancel button visible on every screen, and adds a non-destructive "Repair Wine Prefix" button that fixes a broken prefix without touching installed programs, plugins, or your Documents share.

    Changes

    • Failure dialog now shows the real error instead of a fake success message
    • Live status line + Cancel button visible on every screen while a command runs
    • Console output clears per-run instead of accumulating forever
    • New: Repair Wine Prefix button (Advanced tab)
    • Clearer messaging when the Wine installer opens a separate window

    First tagged release of the FL Studio Linux launcher: Material Design 3 PyQt6/QML GUI (install/plugins/runtime/advanced screens), pkexec-based privileged setup, native xdg-portal plugin file picker, and an app icon. Packaged as a self-contained AppImage.

    Extends the xdg-desktop-portal comdlg32 patch to also cover the Vista-style IFileDialog2/IFileOpenDialog/IFileSaveDialog COM API, used by FL Studio itself for its Open/Save dialogs (the classic GetOpenFileNameW hook alone did not cover this). Verified live: FL Studio Save As now shows the native portal file picker and writes files correctly.
