trilium upgrades

Release v0.95 of trilium is out. The sync version number has changed, which means both client and server must be upgraded – to matching versions. What does this mean in practice?

My server runs on PikaPods.com. It typically upgrades within a week of an official relase (sometimes 2). Typically this means I need to wait to upgrade my desktop.

In this instance my desktop is on v0.93 and PikaPods is at v0.94.

Use github client to fetch release file and install

gh release download \
  --repo TriliumNext/trilium \
  --pattern "*linux-x64.flatpak" \
  --skip-existing \
  --dir ~/Downloads \
  --output trilium-latest.flatpak
  
 flatpak install -y --user ~/Downloads/trilium-latest.flatpak

Oh! This warning probably explains why the app shortcut has a generic icon.

Warning: Not exporting file com.triliumnext.notes.png of unsupported type.
Installation complete.

What's unsupported about it I wonder?

fix .desktop run by removing --command=… segment (ref). Should look like:

Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --file-forwarding com.triliumnext.notes @@u %U @@ 

On Bluefin linux might need to logout or restart in order to get the app to pick up the change. (todo: figure out why and fix. it's ridiculous to need to do that. in meantime, just launch from terminal.)
