[10:21] | NicePics: Can't figure out why Qt/GTK applications don't handle TDE media urls. Pure X programs like ImageMagick and Mplayer open media:/ links from Konqueror just fine, as do the bundled TDE applications. But from GIMP or mpv I have to open the files manually (location not mountable). |

[11:43] | pitriss: Hello, sorry can't help here as I don't use konqueror and its extensions. Please be patient, hopefully someone else answers soon..:) |
[11:43] | pitriss: Or maybe you can consider creating proper bug report on the project gitea. |
[11:44] | NicePics: OK, strange if I would be the only one with this problem as Konqueror is in tdebase. |
[11:44] | pitriss: I just don't use konqueror at all.. I'm used to krusader as main file manager :) |
[11:45] | NicePics: No problems there opening files from external drives? |
[11:47] | NicePics: Or does it use real paths and not media:// ? |
[11:47] | pitriss: But I guess you are talking about automounted USB sticks and so on (guessing from that screenshot) and AFAIK there are multiple ways how to do it.. I'm not skilled in this area at all as I prefer mounting my removable devices manually in the Yakuake terminal, but AFAIK gnome uses something like .gvfs and plasma have its own system too |
[11:48] | pitriss: So I guess there can be some incompatibility |
[11:48] | NicePics: Have to check older TDE releases if they exhibit the same quirk |
[11:49] | pitriss: Sorry I'm long time unix sysadmin and any autoanything is not wanted, I prefer control over what my system does.. I am the broken one here :D |
[11:50] | NicePics: Ha! I turn automounting off as well as it messes with dd |
[11:51] | NicePics: The thing is how Konqueror obfuscates the real path to a mounted drive with media:// you see in the address bar |
[11:52] | pitriss: Yes. I hated this thing.. I guess this have something to do with all those kio extensions within TDE.. |
[11:52] | NicePics: A workaround is to open a terminal window from the folder and play videos from there... |
[11:52] | pitriss: Yeah not much user friendly.. |
[11:52] | NicePics: ... or manually go to /media/sdb1 |
[11:53] | NicePics: Just odd why old X programs work with the setup and not GTK2/3 & Qt5 |
[11:54] | NicePics: Yes, My Computer from Windows comes to mind :^D |
[11:55] | pitriss: Not sure, really. Slavek is AFK so he can't put here his opinion from developers point of view |
[11:56] | pitriss: It is not easy to support all of those.. But maybe there is a way how to add support also for that GTK way (some gvfs emulation) |
[11:56] | NicePics: I'm downloading TDE from 2019 to check if it works there |
[11:57] | NicePics: if it is a new bug |
[11:58] | pitriss: I don't think so.. This will be something like difference between kio, gvfs and the QT5 way .. I really lost track of other DE except xfce as my ex is using it |
[11:59] | pitriss: so hard to judge.. But my sixth sense is feeling this area to blame |
[12:00] | NicePics: Because the drives ARE MOUNTED but the interplay between the desktops is broken |
[12:00] | NicePics: some glue missing |
[12:00] | pitriss: Yes.. exactly.. |
[12:01] | pitriss: But recently breaking things is the trend especially between GTK versions (theming etc) |
[12:01] | pitriss: So impossible to support all.. As even GTK can't achieve that. |
[12:02] | NicePics: GTK4 will probably break everything again ;^) |
[12:03] | pitriss: So really hard to tell there..:) If you want some discussion about your issue etc. Best would be staying here and see what will happen when some more people notices this :) |
[12:03] | pitriss: I would bet to that.. |
[12:03] | pitriss: I guess tomorrow it will be more crowded here :) |
[12:04] | NicePics: OK, I'll keep this channel open |
[12:05] | pitriss: Great.. Anyways, people who care about TDEs future proofing are very welcome.. And testers and people who report bugs are needed;) |
