Add a new «GetHostPaths» method to the Document portal, which allows mapping file descriptors to paths on the host system. This can be used by apps to show more meaningful file paths in the user interface.

Looking forward to this. If you’ve been bothered by /run file paths in Flatpak apps before, you should do so as well, because this finally enables apps to show the «real» path instead.

Typing this comment from a Note 7 pro, from 2019. Other than lacking os updates, it serves me well for all my usecases.

What surprised me was that the author of the feature is an employee of Volkswagen who has worked on this on their behalf.

When opening / saving files, you’ll now be presented with a window similar to the main window of Files. The new file picker is actually part of Files, so it utilizes a lot of existing code. It’s also adaptive, and a lot more open for changes than the one built into GTK.

Kerala have a big contribution to this since all the school IT labs + government offices here use ubuntu or its slightly modified versions. Wish if every state did so.

Glad they also started to include images which makes easy to really understand the changes, especially the UI related ones.

I think GNOME 47 would be a big one, and my favourite.

[-] rorschah 15 points 4 months ago

True. I'm glad that the multiple lemmy releases during past months didn't make the app unusable.

These TWIG issues really shows how much Sovereign Tech Fund boosts the accessibility and modernisation for GNOME. What would have been if all countries started spending such an amount for OSS projects

A very well written blog. Never knew what us he difference between adwaita and gnome, and this blog made clear exactly that.

there are many interesting one's for me this issue, mainly :

  • Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
  • In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
  • Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
  • Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
  • CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

Same here. being subscribed to unixporn community, hyprland always makes me wanna try it. but everytime i did, i just couldn't make it as my norm. Then i return to my good old Gnome.

(what sereral months of DE/WM hopping made me realize was i am not good at using WM's. The only one i used atleast few months was openbox in archcraft )
