Hi, everybody . . .
This is a weird one. It's under Debian testing, but it happened under
Tapeworm, too. With TDE testing.
Running LibreOffice 24.8.2.1. For close to 15 years, I've had "Insert
hyperlink" in my RMB menu in text fields. With the updates (I think
specifically of LibreOffice) but cannot be absolutely sure, it's still
there. But clicking on it spawns a dialog box for character formatting. So
I deleted it and replaced it. Same thing. Renamed ~/.config/libreoffice
and reinstalled LibreOffice itself. Added "Insert hyperlink" to menu. Same
thing.
So I tred it on my notebook, also running testing/testing. Same thing.
It is easier to configure the Linux kernel than it is to configure
LibreOffice, because LibreOffice tries to allow for everything, no matter
how unlikely, and gives it all equal weight. For instance, if you go to
Tools > Customize > Context Menus, you have a choice of 49(!) menus you
can edit. The fun part is that none of the menu names is reflected in the
places where you would find those menus.
Nor are the things controlled by them accessible. I'd rename the character
formatting thing if I could find it, and see what happens then. But can't
find the frigging thing. I'd use AbiWord, but it, like KWord and Calligra,
seem to be pretty much abandoned, and in the case of the latter two
developed by people who do not know what a word processor is for.

As of a recent TDE update (sometime in the past month or less), moving files
to trash has become painfully slow, with the operation typically taking tens
of seconds instead of a second or two.
This has happened in the past with remote disks mounted over ssh (there was a
thread about this maybe two or three years ago), but now it is happening with
local storage.
Are other people seeing this? If not, any ideas what might be the problem?
For the sake of completeness, I will make the "I haven't [knowingly] changed
anything here" statement.

Greets, everybody.
It's been more than a week since I seriously broke anything, and of course
that cannot stand, so I thought I'd upgrade to Debian Trixie a/k/a
testing. Which I would do forthwith if and only if there is some version
of TDE that rns or is likely to run on it.
Is there?

I've been taking a look at what KDE 5 had become. Actually, it was faster than
I had expected (in the MX-Linux implementation). Not that I think about
changing DE, but it raised a question:
Running TDE, I have no problem starting KDE apps (Kdenlive or Kalzium for
example) or xfce apps.
But is it possible to start TDE apps from xfce or KDE (TDE's Konqueror as file
browser would be usefull)? I suppose it is, but just starting the app fails,
so I guess there must be some magic incantation required.

As an experiment I forked the old KGtk software, stripped out kdialogd and
replaced it with calls to libportal. This makes it desktop agnostic and
allows GTK2 apps to use portals. It also contains fixes that can be
backported to Trinity's KGtk-qt3. It's still far from stable however so I
wouldn't recommend installing it outside of testing purposes.

xdg-desktop-portal-tde prototype.
