desktop VS Electron

There have been requests. So far there hasn’t been an easy way to implement it, unfortunately: https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/issues/90

If you activate the 'minimize when copying to clipboard' option in preferences, but need to copy something that is set to require master password confirmation, Bitwarden just minimises without copying the password. I made a ticket for that in GitHub in august '21, but that was closed after a 'reorganization' in April. My head was not in the space to check for this problem then, but I checked it now and the problem persists with version 2022.8.1. Of cause I appreciate help with the actual problem, but how do I best let Bitwarden know that this problem persists?

I ended up installing previous version https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases/tag/v1.33.0

$ rpm -qp —scripts https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases/download/v1.33.0/Bitwarden-1.33.0-x86_64.rpm postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): #!/bin/bash # Link to the binary ln -sf ‘/opt/Bitwarden/bitwarden’ ‘/usr/bin/bitwarden’ # SUID chrome-sandbox for Electron 5+ chmod 4755 ‘/opt/Bitwarden/chrome-sandbox’ || true update-mime-database /usr/share/mime || true update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications || true postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): #!/bin/bash # Delete the link to the binary rm -f '/usr/bin/bitwarden'

In 2019, an issue was opened in GitHub suggesting for the dev team to manage the flatpak application. Currently, the flatpak that is present in Flathub isn't official and this is a security risk, because that's about passwords.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, you can follow the latest updates for this issue on Github.

Thanks, these were the answers I was looking for too. Being a newb, which of these file links do I need to re-install on an old MacOS 10.11? https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/releases/tag/v1.31.3

During all this, libsecret was updated which broke Webex (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webex-bin#comment-855518). Couldn't find a good way to downgrade a package so I ended up installing some fork of libsecret which got Webex working again. Also, there was an electron update which I think has caused Bitwarden to spew Javascript errors. Someone made a Github issue about the error and although I don't think he quite understands what he's doing, that looks like the same error I was getting - https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/issues/1338.

Following an upgrade to version 1.31.0 of the Bitwarden desktop client, I noticed that I could no longer view OTP keys. I then discovered that my Premium status is no longer reflected in the desktop client, but I am indeed classified as a Premium member on the Bitwarden website. This appears to be a bug in version 1.31.0 and has been reported to the Github bug tracker: https://github.com/bitwarden/desktop/issues/1309

The team at Electron have been faithfully shipping new releases almost every single month. I think they had Christmas off 🤔. This popular framework has developers writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. The latest update depreciates some process events, and added new modules, APIs, methods, and more. Read into all the changes in the Electron release notes. This month, Electron also introduced a new formal RFC process.

VS Code has been crashing at launch in Wayland since more than eight months ago:

So we talked a lot about the Atomic Design Principle, but you could just use that in any system and start creating. You could have Angular components, React Components, and Vue Components. But if you notice these don't easily work Everwhere. So the solution is to use Web Components because the modern browser can already understand these, and any Front-End framework can then utilize these components. You can use Electron for desktop (Slack, VSCode), PWA for both Android and iOS, and across all browsers Can I Use.

I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.

For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

It does, see [0]. Fun fact: Signal desktop, which uses Electron under the hood, is running without sandbox on Linux [1][2].

Turns out, there is an issue with the electron window not returning focus correctly on mac - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5495. The trick to solving is to treat quick capture as a screensaver. When closing, you hide it by setting the opacity to 0 and sending hide: command to the first responder.
