Hello!

I tried to apply the patch with "git am", but this does not work
anymore, probably due to surrounding changes.

The license should be gpl3+ according to the source code.

Could you maybe expand the description a bit?

Thanks for sending a new patch (and cc-ing me in doing so),

Andreas

Hello!

Closing for lack of feedback; please feel free to open a new issue on
Codeberg if you wish to submit a new patch.
I just realise that the package requires Qt5, which should be phased out,
so I wonder if we should accept the package at all.

Andreas
