Why is GTK file picker so shitty?
DELETE THIS!!
Sicko
That looks like shit OP
>>53587343
Still better than this shit.
>>53587322
That's the KDE file picker, idiot.
Compared to the GTK one it's actually usable.

>>53587425
No one wants to install these untrustworthy pieces of shit
Can one use kde flie pikcer in gtk?
>>53587322
Damn. KDE is so ugly
Also that font rendering looks like shit
>>53587447
>untrustworthy
due to the nature of rpmbuilds for fedora it's very easy to determine whether someone tampered with the source code.
>>53587490
The source code is untrustworthy because it's from no-namer devs
>Check the source yourself
No one has time for this
>>53587322
Not quite sure what you're talking about, but It looks like you were using it when you were trying to upload the right pic.
>>53587506
>The source code is untrustworthy because it's from no-namer devs
That's not an argument.
>>Check the source yourself
You don't have to, all you have to do is compare hashes of ~10 files
The only file modified was the spec file and that's only because without modyfying it rpmbuild wouldn't take the patch in consideration.
But that's only a few lines of plaintext script.
>>53587571
I mean check the source for malicious code
>>53587476
>Also that font rendering looks like shit
KDE is pretty good at copying Windows.
>>53587476
>Also that font rendering looks like shit
Welcome to Linux. Where the font rendering is fucking atrocious until you install Infinality.
>>53587597
again - you don't have to.
fedora builds were rebuild from official packages (which on fedora are maintaned by redhat employee).
the source itself is unchanged and within src.rpm (which is used to build the actual binary .rpm) exists as a tarball right from whatever code management system software uses. It's easy to check whether it was changed, all you have to do is compare hashes.
later changes exists as patch files applied during the building process, so you can check them yourself.
>>53587640
Not on Ubuntu
>>53587640
not really

>>53587425
How in the fuck do you even install these? It's only for vivid, and if you try installing the debs manually it'll fuck you up.
>>53588010
Pls explain, cuz I'm going to instal one of these.
>>53587322
>That padding
>>53587425
I've tried installing the patches from the AUR on Antergos and got the error saying that glib2 package was in conflict and thag the patches couldn't be applied. How do I actually apply the patches? I guess I'd have to recompile glib or something, but I'm not sure how to do it.

>gtk cucks
When will they learn?
>>53590596
Is KDE really so superior to GTK?
>>53590700
>trusting posts with a frog picture in it
no, not really
if it was better, it would be a more popular choice among gnu/linux users
it's not.
>>53590700
It is. Eyesore to minimalfags (aka poorfags)
What is the best KDE distro? Ive been using Manjaro but ive been having problems with it locking up and forcing me to hard reset
>>53590700
No, it's the opposite. Embrace GNOME.
>>53587640
Or you could use Ubuntu where the rendering is preconfigured for you perfectly.
>>53590110
learn how the aur works.
>>53587425
unfortunately it breaks xfce, at least on arch, you get a gray wallpaper and can't interact with the desktop screen
>>53590700
it is.
>>53592192
you could get fedora kde spin.

Wrong.
Even few QT software have kde component it's removable.
KDE is modular.
If not it's your distro repos problem.
werks for me
Does Loonigz have a file picker that will:
-let you search in pick window
-change file properties in pick windows
-copy+paste url in pick window
>>53598351
It's called pressing Cntrl+F
>>53598319
Your File Manager and Distro? And Browser?
>>53598670
i use spacefm for my file manager, though that doesn't affect the file picker, which is a component of gtk+
arch (also no affect)
browser is icecat (this is relevant, however, as it's a gtk2 program)
>>53598351
Nigga, once you get Dolphin to open, you literally have the most bloated and the powerful file manager in existance. Windows' File Explorer is a literal babby compared to Dolphin. You can add tons of custom services and even embed a fucking terminal on it.
Don't even go there.
t. windows user
>>53598838
Thanks. Here's a complementary smug loli. Don't mind the file name
>>53598913
you're welcome, though none of those things will be useful if you want to replicate the look of my file picker
>>53598929
I am going to test this with Nemo + Icecat
Themeing is a different story. Anything wrong?
>>53598971
your file manager has no relevance at all, the file picker is a component of the widget toolkit (gtk+)
>>53598992
So anything that calls for gtk+2 gets the patched file picker?
>>53599012
that's right
>>53587425
Do the Ubuntu patches also work on Debian? I'm an Arch user and I use these, and want to recommend it to a Debian-using friend if I can.
>>53592192
Opensuse
>>53596780
Yes, its flawed, but at least its caching
>>53598840
This

>Why is any linux file picker so shitty?
Fix'd
>>53598319
is this kde patched, or is this actually some gtk+ shit that icecat developers did?
i tried using kde filepicker but it's slow as fuck(i have all my pictures in one folder and there's 42000 of them there. literally takes 7 seconds to just open the picker window).
gtk+ picker would be perfect if little icons were just bigger.
>>53602137
>is this kde patched, or is this actually some gtk+ shit that icecat developers did?
neither, it's this patchset >>53587425
>>53602179
this patch is the biggest pile of shit i ever seen.
opened my pics directory and firefox just hanged itself. definitely worse than firefox-kde-opensuse
>>53603056
opens immediately here on a folder with ~1500 photos and video clips here
perhaps just let it cache the thumbnails initially
>>53590777
You may have gotten that sick get, but you're still wrong
>>53598319
is that really the best that gtk has these days?
open source software is great for things that clearly need a bunch of functional little things completed. it's great for crowdsourcing shit.
open source is not any good for anything that involves high level planning or thinking.
ask any open source project going on longer than 5 years what the process is for usability testing and user research. i would be shocked if you got an answer that wasn't made up on the spot.
this sounds like wishy washy shit in the realm of artistic designy shit, but usability testing is about NASA Task Load Index surveys, GOMS, and studying what people do and importantly how long it takes to do those things.
and this is all literally *just* the evaluation side of things. once you figure out what a fucking disaster your interface is, then the open source project's developers will need to agree to broader design choices (again, design meaning "high level planning", not "make everything look shinier").
How fucking hard is this supposed to be to implement? Some random guy makes a fucking patch for an old version of GTK2+, yet the developers who are working on this all fucking day still can't get a normal file chooser working after 10+ years?
Absolutely ridiculous. The GTK team should be ashamed.
>>53604267
It is no wonder that Unity and LXDE slowly abandoning GTK.
>>53604267
It's a gtk issue afaik.
I'm not a gtk slave anyway so I don't care
>>53604267
If it's so easy, submit a patch for it yourself and stop bitching like a whiney little cunt, you sausageseeking hypernigger. Developers work on what they think is important, and nobody except manbaby retards care about this.
>>53595105
Do you get webm thumbnail in the file upload window ? I can't manage to get them I get thumbnails for png jpg and gif tho
>>53587425
>requires shady out of date 3rd party patches just to view thumbnails in filepicker
Holy fuck, people use this shit?
>>53604386
>saiying shady
>saying 3rd party
>is a wincuck
>>53604198
the issue i'm talking about is a bigger issue with open source: linux, gimp, etc...
>>53590700
If only it wasn't so buggy...
>>53587322
Stay mad faggots
