I think gitbook sucks, cuz it's closed source and limitated. If you want I can migrate the repo to vuepress ... If you are intersted I'll be able to do a Pull Request

The new duplicate feature need documentation

https://docs.usebottles.com/bottles/installers

Note: If something is mentioning behavior then that is for 2022.8.28-brescia-2 - the current AUR version.

Please properly document "custom recipes" - sometimes also called "Environment recipes" and be consistent with the naming.

The only source I have found is a forum post linking to a release post.

• The blog post titles with "Environment Recipes" where the UI calls it "custom recipes". Searching for "wine" and "bottles" is already a nightmare and adding "custom recipes" doesn't make this easier at all.
• The documentation doesn't mention this topic.
• The blog post contains a simple example but I can't tell if it is outdated or even complete - it's only an example and months old by now.
• The Example in the blog post contains a "Runner" setting but in my testing this gets overridden by the UI setting. Now I wonder if it should override the UI setting and if that is the case how I can override the other UI settings (eg "don't link home") from inside the "custom recipe" if that would work.

Bonus Bottles issue:

• When selecting a recipes the UI doesn't change - I can't see if something is selected in that field.

How do I install FFmpeg as the dependency for another software I use? It uses it to do some transcoding.

I want to run an app named Subtitle Edit that's used to make subtitles.

The app is open source and even has somewhat of a guide how to install on Linux using Mono but I'm sure we have a better chance to make it run better under bottles.

https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/help
The following are the dependencies for Linux if installed using Mono;
Packages required for Ubuntu based distros:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install libhunspell-dev
sudo apt-get install libmpv-dev (libmpv.so)
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install vlc (already installed on some distros, SE uses (libvlc.so))
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg (already installed on some distros)

Packages required for Arch based distros (like Manjaro):

sudo pacman -S mono
sudo pacman -S mpv
sudo pacman -S hunspell
sudo pacman -S ttf-dejavu (Unicode font)
sudo pacman -S tesseract
sudo pacman -S tesseract-data-eng (or install via "sudo mono SubtitleEdit.exe")

It is possible to get a GitBook preview for PR's. I think this should be enabled to help test changes.

Hi there

I just mad a flatpak update and noticed the following messages:

Info: com.usebottles.bottles.Locale//stable is end-of-life, with reason:
   We are exiting Flathub, please move to one of the supported packages.
Info: com.usebottles.bottles//stable is end-of-life, with reason:

As I was looking for a new flatpak repo, I coulnd't find any new one except for the depreacted flathub link in the installation guide:

I was wondering, will there be a new flatpak repo? or will you drop the flatpak support for this project?

HI, I have not found so far any mention in the documentation on how Windows apps that run on Bottles interact with files outside of the container... documents, audio files on my Linux partitions etc that I want to edit using those Windows apps.
How do I move my files inside Bottles to edit them there? And where do I put them, in what folder?
What is the recommended safe way to do this?

Sometimes I won't be able to download dependencies from sourceforge for some reasons (this looks to be some kind of SSL error), but switching to another mirror allows me to download it and put it in /bottles/temp. Maybe you can add a notice for this?

Treviso (the third version of Bottles) has been out for a few months now but the documentation still shows the screenshots of the second version.

Also be clear about the implications of enabling such permission (i.e. potential sandbox breakage).
