Thanks for going through the list Josh and thanks again to team Solus & Budgie for all the great work done.

korbendallaskoop shortcuts for all, window or area screenshots never took any pictures here
JoshStrobl Odd, mine show up in /Pictures/
Staudey seems to only work occasionally for me...worked around it by just setting a new hotkey calling "gnome-screenshot" and setting that to "PrintScreen"
Checked it again. PrintScreen *all (=desktop(s)) to file do work, as does *area, but not with shift+Print (as set in keyboard settings) rather with ctrl+print, *window doesn't work with any modifier key.
Double checked with different keyboard layouts. None of the copy to clipboard shortcuts works.
Not sure if it's local, I'm switching between keyboard layouts with xmodmap and may have messed up some .gnome .session .xkb .somewhere .somehow. but xev outputs the correct keycode and symbol so where the signals get lost isn't clear.
korbendallaskoop adding a Microsoft account didn't seem to do much, maybe because I use Thunderbird? No OneDrive in Nautilus either
JoshStrobl I'd suggest mentioned that to GNOME, since they're the ones which develop GNOME Online Accounts and GNOME Control Center.
Microsoft accounts connects to mail and documents acc. to GnomeOnlineAccounts.
I had a look at their gitlab/issues and decided to leave them handling more important issues for now. Dropping a line to the team just to check though, it could be a killer feature holding some Windows switchers back (OneDrive free was 30gb once, depending on device purchase).
korbendallaskoop can't find the entry for autostart, ie. apps that launch at boot, chose some way back but not sure where
JoshStrobl Budgie Desktop Settings -> Autostart. Can also check your /.config/autostart folder.
Thanks, maybe the point I was trying to make was that the Budgie Desktop Settings entries isn't filtered through Budgie Menu.
It was just a note to self, didn't get any system backup tools going in this round but am using Nextcloud already and a bit of syncthing, thanks for those.
korbendallaskoop Nautilus column for media files meta info, resolution and bit rate f.ex.
JoshStrobl I would suggest filing a feature request with the GNOME / Nautilus developers.
It appears VAD did it, 10 months ago, we might not need be hopeful as a dev wrote in another that Fancy views (music albums, revision timeline, disk usage, phylo tree, movie collection, ...) belong in other apps.
One that caught my eye in their queue was opened 13 years ago, Show common information when selecting multiple files in nautilus
Waiiit for it.
korbendallaskoop disable night light for fullscreen (like f.lux and maybe Ubuntu Budgie)
JoshStrobl Except that isn't exclusive to Ubuntu Budgie...I was literally the person that implement the disable Night Light on fullscreen functionality, not them. Go to Budgie Desktop Settings -> Windows.
Thanks! Seeing the light. The fullscreen switch isn't working here though, for any app so far (Firefox, Chrome, mpv, Videos, nope). Not a biggie at all.
korbendallaskoop can't open folders from desktop (never use it, some may)
JoshStrobl You can though. So long as the entry is in /Desktop, can even be a symlink, you can click and open it (it will open Nautilus).
There may have been some rogue user action involved that somehow deleted default /Desktop folder and then pushed some files and folders from / to appear there. Files are clickable, folders are not. Doesn't matter for now.
Have a nice weeekend everyone 🙂
/note to future self and psb DE user:
workspaces, KDE style (as in open a session with certain apps on certain workspaces)
expose/alt-tab to switch between open apps from all workspaces
