They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.
What do you mean with “copy path to file”? Do you mean “copy to clipboard”, as in, store the absolute path of a file to the clipboard?
Last time I needed this, all I needed to to was copy a file/folder and paste it in a text editor. Drag and drop also worked for most programs, though some tools weren’t d&d aware and don’t accept input that way.
I don’t use this feature often, though, so it may have changed since I last tried. It also tended to prepend protocols like dav:// or smb:// when copying files from shares rather than copying the path to the place these shares were mounted.
Yes, Gnome is context aware if you ctrl+c a an image file, and you paste it to a text editor it will paste it as a path, if you paste it in an image editor it will be pasted as an image, if the program supports it (e.g. it works in Krita, but not in Pinta)
Drag and drop is not working because of Wayland. Between 2 windows of the same app, e.g. Nautilus it’s working.
Putting the following with executable permissions inside ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/SCRIPTNAME adds a right click menu to Nautilus that serves the same purpose:
The ‘notify-send’ bit isn’t necessary; it just puts up a notification.
Mentioning only because it’s a simple demonstration of a pretty easy way to extend Nautilus for all kinds of purposes; w/o messing around with the pygobject interface. (There’s supposed to be an xdg standard for file manager extensions like this, but managers use their own custom folders, syntax, etc. for such extensions. I think pcmanfm adheres to the standard; Dolphin requires a .desktop file somewhere; Thunar, Caja, & Nemo work similar to Nautilus.)
In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.
This doesn’t affect me, but I’m sure there’s going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.
A quick look at the documentation seems to indicate that they have not removed or officially deprecated the feature, only made it more complicated to configure it.
It may still be nice to have a reference implementation. For example maybe they can see if there are extra hardening options that they can enable or adopt the more seamless update flow.
Yeah, really happy about this. $WORKPLACE uses Ubuntu and the Snap is just mildly broken in multiple ways. The .tar.bz2 works, but we would have had to script the download + creation of the .desktop file. We successfully procrastinated doing the latter long enough, that Mozilla fixed it.
It’ll allow for streaming from a camera directly into OBS. Unless I’m truly horrible with OBS, I currently can only get my screen and audio on a recording. I haven’t found an option to also have my camera feed be recorded along with audio, even with my camera as the mic. Meaning there’s no option to have your face in the bottom corner of a screen recording. So this will allow that to be possible.
Been daily driving Asahi (first ALARM then Fedora when they transitioned) and it’s been exciting to experience in real time how far the project has come. When I first installed, audio didn’t work, the graphics driver was incomplete, and battery life left a lot to be desired. Skip to today and it’s evident how committed marcan and other contributors are to not just porting, but making everything feel right. Highly suggest following him or Lina on Mastodon.
Sorry a bit let to reply, but I’m running on M1 Air and Mini. Off the top of my head, built-in microphone doesn’t work and external displays don’t work through USB/Thunderbolt. Was also having trouble getting my audio interface to work even in class compliant mode. Otherwise it’s a very polished and easy experience.
You’re good. That’s the latest image, it’s just the confusing Debian version scheme where the package version is not the same as the kernel version. Debian package version 6.1.0-17 = kernel version 6.1.69-1
I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.
After reboot it installed and logging in worked.
Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?
This seems interesting and it seems like a big update. Has anyone used this for print media formatting? Can you speak to how well it works, how easy it is to use, and what it’s like to switch if you’re coming from Publisher or InDesign?
I tried it years ago and it felt more like Quark to me (not a compliment) but should give it another chance. For the past several years I’ve been using Affinity Publisher in a Windows VM.
Edit: just tried it out a bit (ver. 1.5.8 because that’s what’s in the Arch repo) and it’s better than I remembered. Adobe-like shortcuts. I made a new document and created a few text styles.
I’ve previously used versions 1.4.* and 1.5.* quite a bit for print, because I’m a one-man marketing department in a tiny company.
Scribus was (is?) somewhat finicky and cumbersome to work with. It had certain quirks and workarounds you had to learn to deal with. It lacked many creative features you find in bigger suites. I didn’t feel like I worked quickly and efficiently in it. BUT I got my work done in it nevertheless, and I really appreciate that it exists for the people that simply can’t afford the alternatives.
Nowadays I use the Affinity suite, which includes Affinity Publisher, a competitor to InDesign. It’s quite affordable and not subscription-based.
Used Adobe for years, made an effort in the last year to switch to FOSS, mainly Inkscape and Scribus. And yes, as other comments have mentioned these tools have some weird quirks and some things don’t work. But that’s the same for Adobe and most other software. I remember switching from Macromedia Freehand (lol, remember that) to Illustrator back in the day and everything felt just wrong and awful in tge beginning (until you learned to work around the quirks?). It’s super hard to tell how much it’s “Software Bad” vs “Not Used to New Thing” and this will be different for everybody as well. But nobody (including the software) is stopping you from using this professionally, I just finished a 20 page PDF for a client with Scribus, used it to print my 32 page comic etc.

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…
Personally i’m okay with the UI, but the default rendering is often so bad that I have to “fix” every single image. To me it’s either Raw therapee or just reboot into Windows …
You should make a style to apply that brings you (close) to what you want. Out of the box, dakrtable shows you a minimally processed image. Its your job to take it from there.
It shows me a very wrongly processed image. It was better when I used Fuji, but even then it was never anywhere close to what an unprocessed bland raw file should like.
This is too vague to provide any further guidance. Again, darktable shows you a minimally processed raw image by default. You can get a good looking rendering by adding a few more modules in a style and applying that style by default.
Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I’m striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.
Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!
I think it's just because some things have country-specific formats. For example, if you want to prefill credit card details, you have to figure out how the credit card fields are labelled.
