[trinity-users] In defense of TDE (or any mature software for that matter)

by Felix Miata

Nice explanation both why TDE exists, and why Linux is not more popular: https://www.remembertheusers.com/2015/09/0002-rapid-release-and-usability.h… -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

r14-xdg-update error 9

by Nick Koretsky

Hi! I am on preliminary stable builds on debian stretch. After the last update i am getting an r14-xdg-update error 9 on login. It complains about permissions and tells to look at r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt. There is one line in here <Filename>kde-kchmviewer.desktop</Filename> No such file exist anywhere. What i am supposed to do with this? -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky(a)gmail.com)

Dsesktop Config Files opened by the wrong application

by Thierry de Coulon

Allready had that, and I had thought I had found the solution... Happened on two different machines running Debian 9 and TDE (lastest stable): I have links on my desktop (created with right-click/crate new/link to device. One is a link to a local URL Two are links to network shares (nfs) The problem is that when I click on them, instead of opening konqueror, it opens Audacious (that then tries to, first, make a database of all the files and then to play them, which obviously fails). It *has* worked correctly before. On a machine where it works correctly File association shows nothing for *.desktop and *.kdelink; I thought I had solves it once by setting the association with konqueror but it does not seem to work. Acces from konqueror works fine. Thierry

Tiny fonts in kmail HTML display

by J Leslie Turriff

Although I have "Force Font DPI: set to 120 DPI in the Control Center Fonts configuration, email whose content is HTML formatted still displays in a tiny, hard-to-read font size. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix this in the kmail Appearance settings; Fonts: Apply to: has a Message Body category, but nothing for HTML. Is there any way to fix this? Leslie

change TDE language setting instantly

by Stefan Krusche

Good day everyone, is there a way to switch language setting for the GUI directly, i.e. not by clicking through TDE-Menu -> Trinity Control Center -> Regional & Access. -> Country/Region & Language -> Language List -> Move Up to have a particular program start with a different language? Something like TDE Keyboard Tool in Systray? Or via an command line option? Thanks. Kind regards, Stefan

Another drag and drop problem, this time with Firefox

by iadest＠o2.pl

Hello I have another problem with drag and drop, it may be a bug but... I don't know how to trace it precisely. Generally in Firefox until version 48, dragging an URL icon (favicon in address bar) to desktop caused opening a menu which allowed to save or link (create .desktop launcher) to a site. This still works in later versions of Firefox in XFCE and MATE, but in TDE since version 48 it started to behave differently: Now Konqueror asks for filename, and then saves just a text file with url as text, and these files are unusable as launchers. This is probably not a Firefox problem, as this dragging still works well in MATE and XFCE without problems. The problem is present only in TDE. Is it possible to give a template to... I don't know, Konqueror?, how to create .desktop file for a specific application or content type? Or is it a problem with not full drag and drop implementation? MCbx
