Message-ID: Alex: Thanks for the response. Yes, Olivier and I have discussed this for the past year or so and I do believe the limitation was imposed by the move to GTK3. However, I also saw some reports many months ago that multiple-monitor support had been added back into GTK3 but the required libs had not made it into the 19.10 release. I really do not know the details of what is going on with GTK and whether the ability (if it exists) was implemented by the remainder of the desktop, panel, etc. components, but this "rumor" is what prompted me to ask about this. If there is any movement on this front, I would expect the people maintaining these various components to know what's going on. Hopefully they can comment here. I'll add that running separate independent desktops (Zaphod mode) is a far superior configuration to simply chaining all monitors together into one large screen and I would really appreciate it if this capability was restored, as it was possible to do in Xubuntu 18.04.

It has been designed from the ground up to be fast and easy-to-use. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options. Thunar is fast and responsive with a good start up time and directory load time. Thunar is accessible using Assistive Technologies and is fully standards compliant. Website: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start Release notes for 4.15.0 ======================== This is a development release of Thunar aiming the upcoming release of Xfce 4.16. As you may have noticed, Thunar's versioning scheme changed to follow the format adopted by other Xfce core components. We hope this doesn't cause any problem for packagers (since 4.15.0 > 1.8.15) and simplifies how to reason about compatibility between components. This release includes all fixes and improvements present in Thunar 1.8.x plus the changes listed below. Before going into details, I would like to thank the usual hard work of translators and the many contributions from Theo, Reuben, Cyrille and Yousuf, thank you all, we really appreciate your efforts. Oh, with regards stability, it's pretty good, I've been using git master for while now, but due big changes carried by Alexander (in preparation for gtk4 and making the code easier to maintain) expect a couple of rough edges. We hope to get feedback (and bug reports) from early adopters as soon as possible in order to fix all regressions in time for Xfce 4.16 ;) - Fix unavailable rubber banding in detailed view (Issue #326) - Context menu entries in Thunar flutter while downloading (Issue #276) - Improve cusor handling after file deletion in thunar (Issue #69) - Fix regression: Trying to open a .desktop file from the context menu leads to the execution of the file (Issue #325) - Use numbering on label "open new window/tab" only for multiple windows/tabs (MR #15) - Remove "Sort by" and "View as" from menu item labels (Issue #247) - Add new app icon and switch to rDNS icon name (MR #11) - Replace deprecated GtkActionEntry with XfceGtkActionEntry (Issue #293) - Menus are now updated when selection changes not only when opened (Issue #293) - Merge all file-context-menus into one (Issue #198) - Ghost file ocasionally remains when dropping file into directory (Fixes #312) - Use XfceFilenameInput to validate long filenames (Bug #13720) - Support for variables like $HOME in address bar (Bug #12165) - Fix eject button click detection when using RTL languages (Bug #11387) - Remove upper case from group names in shortcuts view - Option to rename a file when existing copy conflicts (Bug #16686) - Remove suffix "- FileManager" from window title - Move from exo-csource to xdt-csource (Bug #16717) - Pause button on copy/move (Bug #16685) - Allow drag-and-drop of multiple files in icon view (Bug #2487) - Add keywords to .desktop files to thunar (Bug #16618) - Reduce vertical space in Templates info popup - Hide android phone from network group (Bug #11584) - Reduce size of Templates info popup - Do not add "cant-write" emblem to files in the Trash - Hide Browse Network entry in shortcuts view if not supported - Move 'network' to the bottom of tree view (Bug #16516) - Add examples to "Select by Pattern" dialog (Bug #16587) - Improve tooltips in shortcuts view (Bug #16566) - Rename "Disconnect" context menu entry in side pane (Bug #16558) - Make path entry matching case-insensitive (Bug #12747) - Add new bookmarks to bottom of list in shortcuts view (Bug #16526) - Move places above devices in shortcuts view (Bug #11586) - Add desktop actions for home, computer and trash (Bug #16497) - Option to use static icon instead of folder icon (Bug #16501) - Remove top level desktop entry from tree view (Bug #16474) - Easy access to computer:/// (Bug #16472) - Use libxfce4ui close-multiple-tab dialog (Bug #16254) - Replace deprecated G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_MOVED (Bug #16328) - Use symbolic icon for eject (Bug #16281) - Prevent ghost files after "move" on remote locations (Bug #15704) - Add a confirmation dialog when closing a window with multiple open tabs. - Improve explanation string for "invert selection" action (Bug #15625) - Improve layout of Permissions tab (Bug #15557) - Remove superfluous shell script "ThunarBulkRename" (Bug #15373) - Make labels in permissions chooser wrap - Add a small delay when dismissing notifications (Bug #14552) - File / Folder size text in statusbar sometimes is ambiguous (Bug #14203) - Add missing parameter to ThunarBrowserPokeDeviceFunc function - Add property to enable/disable frames on thumbnails (Bug #14433) - Improved spacing between widgets in Properties and Preferences dialogs - Fixed numerous compiler warnings - Fixed numerous warning and critical messages - Translation Updates: Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Armenian (Armenia), Asturian, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (China), Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Eastern Armenian, English (Australia), English (United Kingdom), Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Interlingue, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Occitan (post 1500), Panjabi (Punjabi), Persian (Iran), Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Uighur, Ukrainian, Urdu, Urdu (Pakistan), Vietnamese From andre42m at gmail.com Fri Jun 19 01:23:23 2020 From: andre42m at gmail.com (Andre Miranda) Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2020 01:23:23 +0200 Subject: ANNOUNCE: xfdesktop 4.15.0 released Message-ID: <5eebf76b4964f_17d22ab46faea5bc8799@xfce2.mail> xfdesktop 4.15.0 is now available for download from https://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfdesktop/4.15/xfdesktop-4.15.0.tar.bz2 https://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfdesktop/4.15/xfdesktop-4.15.0.tar.bz2?sha1 https://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfdesktop/4.15/xfdesktop-4.15.0.tar.bz2?sha256 What is xfdesktop? ================== Xfce's desktop manager.

Website: https://www.xfce.org/ Release notes for 4.15.0 ======================== [Please note that this is a development release.] - New macro XDT_VERSION_INIT(SEMVER[, TAG]) This macro takes care of setting up the version numbering. It will define the following macros based on SEMVER and TAG: - xdt_version - xdt_version_major - xdt_version_minor - xdt_version_micro - xdt_version_tag - xdt_version_build - xdt_debug_default If TAG isn't specified, the xdt_version_tag and xdt_version_git will be empty and xdt_debug_default will be set to "minimum", otherwise the xdt_version_build will contain a git hash and xdt_debug_default will be set to "yes" Example usage: XDT_VERSION_INIT([4.15.3],[git]) AC_INIT([xfce4-someproject], [xdt_version()]) ... XDT_FEATURE_DEBUG([xdt_debug_default]) - XDT_I18N macro will now automatically find the linguas if none are specified during the autoconf run. - Install m4 macros in default search dir. This makes autoconf find the macros by default. By setting version via XDT_VERSION_INIT and using XDT_I18N without arguments, this is no longer necessary to use a separate configure.ac.in and a plain configure.ac can be used ! A big thank to Natanael Copa (ncopa) for his work on this part ! - xfce4-dev-tools now also handle the CI (docker container, .gitlab-ci.yml templates files etc) on our new gitlab instance. A merge request or a push to master to any of our projects automatically trigger a build. This will help us to catch errors quicker and have better quality. Thanks to Jason Yavorska and Simon Steinbeiss. - New helpers are also available (xfce-get-release-notes, xfce-get-translations, xfce-update-news) to help our maintainers to do releases ! Thanks Simon again. - Use datarootdir instead of datadir - xdt-autogen: explicitly set search path for m4 macros - Install the xfce-helpers - Add two new helpers to help releasers - Install m4 macros into default $datadir/aclocal - Update README for new gitlab urls - xdt-autogen: Improve and simplify linguas detection - Let XDT_I18N automatically find the po/*.po as default - Let configure generate the xdt-autogen script - Implement XDT_VERSION_INIT - Add manpage and tests to xdt-csource - Add xfce4-dev-tools build in addition to container build - Check BEFORE_SHA along with changes to .po files - gitlabci: Ensure to run autogen in distcheck stage - Switch to "foreign" mode for automake - Add CI templates notes - Update README with explanation of Dockerfile - Fix whitespace error - Add helper script to get all translation-updates - Integrate xfce-build container build/creation From renaud at olgiati-in-paraguay.org Mon Jun 29 17:33:49 2020 From: renaud at olgiati-in-paraguay.org (Renaud (Ron) OLGIATI) Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 11:33:49 -0400 Subject: Launcher problem Message-ID: <20200629113349.3e4a99e8@olgiati-in-paraguay.org> I have been having a problem with LibreCAD, the font size used for the menus, the menu bar, and the status bar are so small that the program is unusable as it is. Found a solution which is to launch it from the CLI with xrandr --dpi 96 && librecad, which solves the font size problem. So I tried to put that in my LibreCAD launcher, replacing librecad %F with /usr/bin/xrandr --dpi 96 && librecad %F Sadly, it does not work, and librecad does not start. Am I missing something ?

Hi, a launcher is not a shell. Therefor, you can't use shell syntax like `&&`. As LibreCAD is based on Qt4 or Qt5 depending on your version of LibreCAD, you should check out the corresponding documentation on how to set the DPI in Qt applications. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qt for some information.

I have installed qt5ct, run it, and changed the font sizes, added a line export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct to .ashrc, and restarted X No change alas.

Thank you for the pointer. Tried this, running ~/bin/librecad from the CLI works beautifully, but if I put ~/bin/librecad %F in the launcher it gives me an error window , Failed to execute ~/bin/librecad %F Failed to execute child process "~/bin/librecad" (no such file or directory) and if I put /home/ron/bin/librecad $1 in the launcher LibreCAD starts with the unreadable small font. ? ? ? ?

What you actually might need to do is launch a terminal window running bash and then get that to run your script that does what you want.

So running via a terminal is a way to provide it. -- Chris Green
