Loupe or other image viewer? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm using Gnome 46 with Loupe as an image viewer. Can this tool perform simple functions like rotating, resizing, or cropping? I haven't been able to find a way to do this yet. Or should I use something else?

I have connected my Samsung Q60 to WiFi via WPS. This works fine so far. But when i restart the TV, i have to reconnect every time via WPS again, since the TV doesn't remember the WiFi connection. If it is connected, it works fine so far. If i look at the router, i can see, that it is using always the same MAC address to connect, so this is not the issue.

message "Load missing posts" (discuss.tchncs.de)

Several times per day, i get a message with "Load missing posts" besides the usual "New posts". If I click the message the app seems to get confused and I'm not anymore on the last missing post. Is this some sort of bug?

I have this effect also sometimes, but not always. It's also different from client to client. With Thunder on Android it's most of the time really fast. On the other hand I'm using sometimes Voyager, where it's a mix between slow and fast. I use the website only in rare case's. But when I do, it was always fast.

Many thx. This would be fantastic

private/direct messages (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is there currently no way to write or answer direct messages?

[-] MoLoPoLY@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago

Nice test. I like Jerboa, especially the technical implementation. But the Usablity and layout of other apps is much better. That's why my default client is Thunder.

Darktable? It's a RAW developer and photo managing software on Linux, Windows and Mac, a little bit like Adobe Lightroom, but OpenSource. If GPS coordinates are in the RAW, sidecar or jpg files, the photos can be displayed in the map module. Much better, if you have a GPX file and no GPS data embedded, you can assign the photos to the GPX route, as long the timestamp of DateTimeOriginal in Exif is accurate. If the timestamp differs, you can specify the difference.

Maybe Digikam can do the same. But I don't like the KDE framework which is used there. Digikam is available for Linux and Windows (yes, I know it's strange).

If you can selfhost, you can try my SyncMarks AddOn. It will work on any webextension compatible browser, e.g Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, Kiwi and so on. You can sync across all Browsers.

The backend is working with selfhosted PHP/MySQL (or SQLITE) stack. If you can't use this, you can fallback to WebDAV as backend, but with limited functionality.

The addon can work together with the standard sync mechanisms in all these browsers, but it's up to you if you want that.

If the addon is not installed, you can access the backend url with any browser and use it as WebApp. With apps like Tasker or HTTPShortcuts, you can share any url, from any to the backend.

I have a similar issue but in my case between KDE and Gnome. KDE is much cleaner by display the fonts as Gnome. But I prefer using Gnome, because of the cluttered interface of most KDE applications.

I have played "Planet Crafter" before, in early access without any issues. But now I have seen that the 1.0 is released. For some reason, after the update, I couldn't get the game to start without a crash.

After playing and testing some things, like other Proton versions, GE-Proton and much more, I was about to give up.

But for some reason, I changed and installed the dev channel (1.0.2.x), instead of the stable 1.0.1 version, the game starts up again!

So if anyone has similar issues, you should try to switch to the dev version. Maybe this solves the problem.

BTW: My startup string is gamemoderun mangohud %command%

Devider between posts? (discuss.tchncs.de)

If i remember correctly, there was some space between posts in early versions. On 0.2.9 in card view, there is no space. Is there some way to get back this post divider, so that I can easier see where one post ends and a new one begins?

Bluetooth headset issues (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi there. I installed Manjaro on a new laptop, like I did on the previous one, just using default options with Gnome.

However when I connect my Bluetooth headset, I have used on the previous laptop, it seems that I temporary loose the Bluetooth connection during gaming via Steam. After some seconds, the audio comes back again automatically.

Has someone a idea where to start investigation the issue?

[-] MoLoPoLY@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

Answering my own question: yes it does. So I discovered some hooks, which report pacnew files and replaced the echo command with notify-send. Worked fine so far...

Pacman Hooks (discuss.tchncs.de)

I have never used pacman hooks before. But i wonder, if they are also executed, when i use pamac. Is this the case?

By default, according to the RFC 6238 standard, they are generated every 30 seconds. But this time step can manually set to faster intervals. However faster as 30 seconds is not very user friendly. RFC 6238

Feel free to try my SyncMarks. It's available for any Desktop browser and can sync across all Browsers. The backend is working as Web GUI.

Backend: https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Webapp

Browser Extension: https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Extension

I don't know what happens with manifest v3, because the Mozilla variant is not compatible to Chromium. Maybe I have to use 2 independent branches. But I try to avoid that. Manifest v3 is a big mess of bullsh*t.

But anyway feel free to try it. You are welcome.

[-] MoLoPoLY@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago

Yes that's the right way. It works mostly without issues here since some months. Personally I have changed from Droid-ify to F-Droid basic since auto update stopped at some point with Droid-ify where it worked before. I have no idea why. Neo-store has issues in the stable branch with notifications.

I have added Evolution to Tweaks > Startup Applications. Evolution starts up fine after logging in to Gnome. However it starts maximized. Is there a way to start it hidden or minimized?

Epiphany Extensions? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I have read months ago, that Epiphany 43 has support for Webextensions. Now i have installed Epiphany 45 but couldn't find any trace of this. I would like to testdrive my own Extension, but this isn't possible when its not supported.

Mark as read on scroll (discuss.tchncs.de)

Currently I'm trying to evaluate a handful of Lemmy apps. Is there any way to have a 'Mark as read on scroll' feature? I couldn't find such a feature after a first look in the settings.

  • Eternity, but clicking in an Notification E-Mail on the Lemmy Inbox link, does not open Eternity on the Inbox.
  • Voyager is also fine, but i has strange look on Android, looks more like made for Apple.
  • Jerboa is nice to, but lacks options to change the fonts
  • Sync for Lemmy is nice, but its closed source and has ads (can be removed when you pay enough 20,99€)
  • Some other apps in the Playstore, but most of them are not worth to use them
  • Thunder seems to be nice, but I really miss 'Mark as read on scroll' feature, which is very important for me
  • there is 'Commit for Lemmy' on the play store, most features I want are there but a) its not available on F-Droid and b) crash from time to time
  • 'Boost for Lemmy' looks really nice. I couldn't find a setting for 'Mark as read on scroll'. Maybe it's enabled by default. If that's true, I would keep this app. There is a option to remove ads for 3.59€ which is a fine for me. But I have not seen any ad as of now. Be aware that there are 6 Trackers in this app, but since I use PiHole, it's not really important for me.

Currently im using mostly Eternity and hope that some bugs get sorted out sooner or later. But Boost would be good next candidate, if 'Mark as read on scroll' is supported. Arch f not, the next best alternative is Jerboa.
