[03:11] <lynorian> what does the type=action thing in the desktop spec mean
[06:54] <guiverc> task34/41:  (smart package removal); where would I go to look for how it's done in ubiquity?  or is grabbing the `apt install source` the best approach?
[13:13] <BlakeCarrington[> Hi. Running lxqt atm.but cannot get trojita email client to connect to a hotmail account i use. The imap and smtp settings are correct but my folders wont download
[13:32] <kc2bez> BlakeCarrington[: This question is probably better for the support channel.

[19:03] <wxl> @lynorian: toot away my friend :)
[19:05] <lynorian> I have a need to know what the desktop spec is for current directory
[19:07]  * kc2bez forwarded your forum post to the Telegram announcement channel wxl 
[19:08] <wxl> danke
[19:11] <wxl> could you provide some context @lynorian ?
[19:12] <lynorian> trying to actually provide an example for custom actions for open in terminal
[19:12] <lynorian> trying qterminal -w to open that file path but need the current directory
[19:13] <wxl> these are qterminal custom actions?
[19:13] <lynorian> no in pcmanfm-qt as an exmpale somewhat different than the manjaro ones
[19:14] <wxl> ah ok
[19:14] <wxl> so here's the section on actions https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#extra-actions
[19:15] <wxl> the section on the exec key is relevant as it tells you about all the variables https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables
[19:16] <lynorian> I actually don't see one there unfortanetly
[19:16] <wxl> if you need to act only on a current directory, make sure to set MimeTypes=inode/directory;
[19:16] <wxl> and then you could use %f
[19:16] <lynorian> ok
[19:17] <wxl> i wish there was more consistency between terminals 
[19:18] <wxl> `x-terminal-emulator -e 'cd %f'`  or something of the sort might be more portable
[19:35] <wxl> OOOOOH an expandable terminal emulator with tons of features that does not require a UI toolkit. it uses OpenGL, leaving all rendering to the GPU, so less footprint on the overall system. it's got a cute logo, too. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/
[19:35] <wxl> c + python
[19:35] <wxl> latest commit 5 hours ago
[19:36] <lynorian> wxl not sure I would want that in a vm though
[19:36] <wxl> right right
 I know a guy that raves about kitty. I haven't tried it myself yet.
[19:37] <wxl> looks pretty rad given the feature list. i'm not one to change terminals but this is tempting
 Sounds cool. I may have to give it a go.
[19:38] <lynorian> I mean it is cool like how I like xfs but understand a good reason for it not being default is not able to be shrunk.
[19:39] <wxl> if and when zfs becomes rock solid, i'm all for making it default :)
 x!=z
[19:40] <wxl> i am aware, incidentially

 I got in touch with the Ubuntu dev who helps with the ISO tester for Ubuntu and I'll email him tonight to ask how we can automate iso testing. Once I figure out how to deploy that app, I'll host it on my Digital Ocean droplet via a cronjob daily and I'll figure out how to get it to send out related reports
 *via LinkedIn. He gave me his email address thankfully as well so I'll keep in touch with him.
[22:22] <wxl> neat
 @SamuelBanya [I got in touch with the Ubuntu dev who helps with the ISO tester for Ubuntu and …], jibel?
 Joshua Powers
 ohhhh
 yeah I know him
 I also tried emailing the following mailing list but was told I was emailing the wrong one to get help with porting redshift gir-devel-list@gnome.org
 I'll try emailing the qt one instead of the gtk one as well
 ah
[22:25] <wxl> progress is good
 @SamuelBanya [I got in touch with the Ubuntu dev who helps with the ISO tester for Ubuntu and …], We have a Jenkins instance you can use :)
 Ok whatever works in that case
