I am a new Solus user. I am super excited to be using it, and I have used Ubuntu Budgie, Manjaro KDE and Antergos in the past. I knew Solus would be a new experience, built from the ground up. Happy to find the majority of my apps I use in the repos. However, I couldn't find one of my favorites: TagSpaces. https://www.tagspaces.org

Any help with figuring out a workaround would be appreciated! Thanks everyone. 🙂

Welcome!
First tume to hear this application, and it looks interesting. Did you try to build it from source?

I haven't. I am willing to try, but have never done so before. I downloaded the tar.gz file and now I am trying to read up on how to execute and run the file. They don't really have any 'install' or 'instructions' file included. So I'm sort of stabbing around in the dark. 😅

Justin Awesome, thanks! Now if I could only figure out how to make it show up and start from my applications menu. More research. lol

    Install menulibre it'll allow you to create a menu entry. 😀

      linny

      To create a Menu Entry with an icon

      Download TagSpace icon 512x512
      Rename the icon tagspaces.png and move it on tagspaces-linux-x64-3.1.4 folder
      There are more here
      Go to /home/<user>/.local/share/applications/ (<user> should be your username) and create there a new file with name tagspaces.desktop
      Open it and write these lines:

      [Desktop Entry]
Name=TagSpaces
Exec=/home/<user>/<.build>/tagspaces-linux-x64-3.1.4/tagspaces
Icon=/home/<user>/<.build>/tagspaces-linux-x64-3.1.4/tagspaces.png
Comment=TagSpaces File Manager
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=GTK;Utility

      In my case i placed tagspaces-linux-x64-3.1.4 in .build folder that i have created before. Remove <.build> if you have places tagspaces folder in $HOME or edit if you placed it elsewhere.

      Edit: Added a tittle

          Justin I heard it from you and installed, but didn't figure out how to play with it. It is that "Menu Editor" on list.

              Yes i see now what it does. Is that Working Directory important?

                algent Thanks so much for the clarification! I got it figured out. You guys are a lifesaver. 🙂

                  algent I haven't had to create one for a while. Test it without, I don't think it is needed.
