[Bug]: kdiff3 version 1.11.0 fails at first when started from command line

[Taar2]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

kdiff3

Expected/Current Behaviour

When I call kdiff3 (version 1.11.0 obtained from extras) from the command line like:
kdiff3 file1 file2
I expect kdiff3 to open the GUI and then immediately open the two files and then display them in its left and right tabs.

What I get instead is that kdiff3 opens the GUI then fails to open the files at first, showing two dialogs

Then after I close the dialogs, kdiff3 manages to open the files correctly.

When I replace manually the contents of the scoop 1.11.0 directory with that from version 1.10.7, everything works correctly.

Note that the bundle from version 1.11.0 obtained directly from kdiff3 (not going through scoop) has the same buggy behaviour

Steps to Reproduce

scoop install extras/kdiff3

kdiff3 file1.txt file.txt

Possible Solution

See above. Maybe rollback to v10.7.0 until the problem is solved on the kdiff3 side?

May relate to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486782.

Yes, those are the same symptoms exactly. Meanwhile, shouldn't someone rollback the manifest to @1.10.7?

This is the base url: https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/kdiff3-1.10.7-windows-x86_64.exe

I can't think I'm the only one experiencing this.

[aliesbelik]

Not sure that pinning manifest to previous version is a good idea since it's only possible via removing checkver/autoupdate sections (otherwise it will be updated automatically again).

I've changed autoupdate template (76a0cff) so that autogeneration for old versions will work, i.e. you could install previous version via:

scoop install [email protected]

Alternativelly you could switch to previous version via scoop reset:

scoop reset [email protected]

I'm getting the same behavior running 1.11 on windows 11.

[aliesbelik]

Please recheck with 1.11.1.

[lucaskoliveira]

Same error.

[Taar2]

I got a different error with @1.11.1 on Windows 10: wrong entry point into ...\scoop\apps\kdiff3\current\bin\KF6XmlGui.dll. [email protected] doesn't even start.
