Nautilus file chooser implementation merged (gitlab.gnome.org)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
3 comments fedilink

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.

GNOME Mutter Lands Support To Transform sRGB To HDR Outputs (www.phoronix.com)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
4 comments fedilink

This branch implements support for transforming SDR (sRGB) to a HDR enabled output, while allowing HDR content to stay intact.

Roughly what it does is, when HDR mode is enabled via the experimental property, all the stage views that represents outputs where HDR actually managed to be enabled starts to composite in a linear variant of the target color space (which will be BT.2020) via an intermediate framebuffer. Each thing being painted should then transform its pixels to fit in this color space, using an EOTF, a color space mapping matrix and luminance adaptation.

Here is the merge request

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

Meet Showtime, GNOME’s Promising New Video Player by rorschah in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I had MPV, Celluloid and VLC. After using showtime and trying a bunch of formats, I uninstalled MPV and Celluloid. I also set it as default too (loves the adwaita UI ). VLC is just there as a backup.

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

#123 Infrastructure Work · This Week in GNOME by rorschah in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

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.

Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is by rorschah in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

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 )
