I installed the latest version of browse-ocrd from the master branch of the git repository. When launching, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/browse-ocrd", line 5, in <module>
    from ocrd_browser.main import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ocrd_browser/main.py", line 26, in <module>
    resources = Gio.resource_load(str(BASE_PATH / "ui.gresource"))
gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ocrd_browser/ui.gresource”: open() failed: No such file or directory (4)

It seems that ui.gresource is missing. I also cannot find it in the repository, maybe it wasn't pushed with the last update?

Hmm, that file should get generated by make install and is excluded from git by purpose. Did you try to install via make install?

SvenMarcus commented

Oh yeah sorry, that was a mistake on my end. I simply installed it with pip install git+https://github.com/hnesk/browse-ocrd
It works fine with make install.

Oh, I didn't know that was possible with pip. I just added the generated ui.gresource file to the repository. 27kb is a fair price to pay for that feature.
