TDE special window rules
by Darrell Anderson 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

I am trying to configure special window rules for some VirtualBox machines. I want the virtual machines to always open in virtual desktop/workspace 2. I have many virtual machines but a few I use almost daily. Many years ago I created *.desktop files to launch these few systems without needing to launch the VirtualBox Manager. I have used devilspie to force launching in desktop 2. While devilspie works well in TDE, I want to do this natively with TDE special window rules. I have been unable to configure special rules in TDE to ensure the virtual machines open in desktop 2. Everything I try in TDE special rules results in the virtual machines opening in the current desktop. Other special window rules are working as expected. Selecting the special rules "Detect" button does not help. I suspect something different about VirtualBox that is not obvious. Help is appreciated with respect to creating TDE special rules. Thank you! P.S. To simulate the *.desktop files, launch the mini cli (Alt+F2) and launch a virtual machine like this: vboxmanage startvm "name_of_virtual_machine" DA

Notification popup timeout
by Darrell Anderson 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Where is the notification popup timeout stored? I have several cron jobs that have been running for years with notify-send --expire-time=0. The popups remain active until explicitly acknowledged, but in TDE the popups timeout at about 6 to 7 seconds and close. Does TDE ignore notify-send timeout parameters? Is there a preferred way to create persistent notifications in TDE? Thanks again.

Konqueror date format

When using tree or list view, is there a Konqueror setting for the file date stamp format or is the date stamp hard-coded to using the TDE short date format? Thanks.

I know this once worked as expected but my Konsole sessions no longer display bold fonts. Is there a config setting I am overlooking? I tried different fonts and schema. Ideas? Thanks. DA

Enabling Num Lock on Login Screen
by artsmelly＠protonmail.com 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Hello, I'm used to writing my password on the numpad, but it's always locked when I open the computer. I tried enabling the numlock from trinity control center, but it's only enabling it after logging in. Is there a way to enable it on the login screen? If not, it would be great to see something like this in the settings.

Hi All, When selecting not to use any login splash there is nonetheless some kind of mini startup dialog. The dialog does not appear when using a splash or possibly is hidden by the splash. Is there a way to disable this mini startup dialog? None should mean none. Thanks for your time! DA

kMail Message List - Message Sizes are not displayed
by J Leslie Turriff 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Hello, I was thinking tonight that it would be nice if the Message List in kMail could show the sizes of messages. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the Settings => Appearance, Message List tab and discovered that there is such a setting, and it is turned on. (See attached screenshot.) Does anyone have an idea about why the size does not appear in the list?

Integration With GIO and xdg-mime
by artsmelly＠protonmail.com 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

Hello, I installed Trinity from scratch on Debian 11 Stable. However, I am having trouble opening the default applications in Firefox and other GTK+ applications. The same goes for xdg-mime. Since Trinity apps are in /opt/trinity/share/applications/tde, xdg-mime and GIO can't see them and doesn't apply them even if I set them correctly. For example, even if I do "xdg-mime default /opt/trinity/share/applications/tde/kpdf.desktop application/pdf" or "xdg-mime default kpdf.desktop application/pdf", it doesn't work at all. So, my question is: How can I sync the Trinity Control Center>TDE Components>File Associations list to both xdg-mime and gio? Or how can we export a mimeinfo file that uses trinity desktop files to .config f or a directory shared by gio and xdg-mime?
