IMPORTANT: Issues with latest update / GNOME / Budgie / GTK apps

sangheeta

I have something with external HDD with Nautilus/Budgie, there is no more the safely remove drive option on a right clic in the left panel, I need first to clic the arrow to unmount the external HD then right clic and choose the option safely remove drive, that means this option is only available if the HD is unmounted.

Staudey Left panel in Files/Nautilus isn't resizable

This is intentional. Source.

Staudey [...] Files/Nautilus [...] produces visual glitches at times

Looks like someone filed an issue here about this. Sadly, not gonna hold my breath on it... :/

Staudey Can't extract files by dragging them from Archive Manager to Files/Nautilus

This looks to be a problem with Nautilus now being GTK4, but file-roller being GTK3; the drag and drop API between the GTK versions is not compatible, and the API in 4 is missing things that they need for file-roller.

sangheeta there is no more the safely remove drive option on a right clic in the left panel

I just filed an issue here. The menu item is present with regular USB thumb drives, which is probably what they were using with the screenshot you showed from omgubuntu.

brent

thanks for that Staudey . I thought issue #2 was just me.

sangheeta

Found this on omgubuntu

I don't have the two options, eject & safely remove drive on left panel right clic if drive is mounted.

Staudey

sangheeta Hmm, that seems like an issue indeed. Maybe one more of the nautilus-extension woes. Gonna take a look later. Adding it to the list.

AlucardNoir2 Interesting, thanks! That's pretty likely related to issue no. 4, yes. Gonna add a note to it.

AlucardNoir2

Related to probably 4, if you try do extract an archive and click on that little circle icon that shows progress you can't click outside of it. I mean, you can, it just won't do anything. You have to click it again to be able to select anything else.

This is intentiona. Source.

I must admit that is a good thing to tiling windows, I'm sure they did that especially for.
But finally I like it, I have wondering many times why they didn't do it already, the left panel should disappear in some case. They did it.

I was no longer able to use the GNOME app Geary (43.0) after the recent update. The application opens but content remains blank. Don't know if this counts as it's not bundled with Solus.

Workaround: use the Flatpak package (40.0) instead.

brent

hopefully I don't violate the spirit of what you intend for this thread. let me know if I do.
I have some more to add.
Add this to your to list:

Since the update Nautilus fails to remember all settings. All my windows are set to open with latest date file on top. Nautilus has no memory left. In preferences it only allows you to sort grid view folders. Note the helter skelter above. So extra mouse clicks for every move in this getting-worse-by-the-day File Manager.

The flip side of this is I added Materia, not Materia-Dark:

this aired out the categories on the left that were smushed together and I think the list thumbnails are less smushed together--more like the pre-update Nautilus....except that awful 1 pts header fonts...

Another wrinkle. While Materia made Nautilus look better, this theme is inconsistent:

control center vs. desktop settings. files and calculator still dark. software center light.
@Staudey this is why I asked you the button questions this morning. Note I have Solus Dark theme enabled. and built in theme disabled....that makes Materia half dark and half light depending on app?
dark theme doesn't make Materia dark? Only Materia-dark makes materia dark? and if that's true why are some apps dark? and some light?

If I went Materia-Dark then these two buttons wouldn't matter?
Can I avoid having to go into dconf editor to achieve dark uniformity?
Confused on that part and unsure it's related.
again, thank for your time and dedication to the nautilus/stack problems

Staudey

brent Gonna take a look at the issue of not remembering settings.

To your theme question: The Dark theme toggle only works in some places, like the Budgie menu and inside Budgie Desktop Setting itself (I'd have to do some research to find all instances where it applies; that's what I meant with "some apps" in the other thread). Since Materia (without the -Dark) is a light theme, everything else will be bright. Using Materia-Dark should be dark everywhere, including Budgie Desktop Settings and the Budgie menu, even if you don't toggle the Dark theme switch. Theoretically Materia-Dark should also cause libadwaita apps like Files and gnome-calculator to switch to the dark theme, because it's named with the -Dark suffix, and libadwaita has some logic integrated to detect and respect that.

brent

Staudey you are right, *-dark pretty much did all the work. went ahead and disabled Dark Theme toggle. No visible differences either. Went ahead and disabled Built In Theme too. The only difference---that I could see---with the enigmatic Built In Theme button being on or off is my task bar being opaque or solid---and bold font.
Check this out from my top task bar---
Built in theme disabled:

Built in theme enabled:

cra-cra yes?

Yesterday, gnome-control-center was okay, but not today on Budgie.

pat@solus ~ $ gnome-control-center

Cloak

Nautilus crashes when attempting to rename a folder or file - mostly.

sangheeta

Cloak
Yes, for me too, need to clic inside the field first then delete all name and rename, if I delete the selected name first it crashes.

infinitymdm

Cloak I can also corroborate this.

EbonJaeger

Cloak I can't reproduce this either. Can you or someone else give more exact steps?

Staudey

SOLUSfiddler Can't reproduce this unfortunately. You're using Solus Budgie, right? Possibly a visual glitch? I can see the tab selection, but just barely. Have you tried if it works (even if the visual hint is not there)? (i.e. simply pressing TAB and Enter when the window pops up)

markdj I can reproduce this issue, adding to the list. [edit: Found a fix, patched in the unstable repo]

Cloak Unfortunately I also can't reproduce this. Added it to the list because other's have confirmed it.

riffer

When I opened two nautilus windows and copied data from one to the other it locked me out of doing anything else until the process was finished. i.e. I couldn't click anything. Happened every time I copied something after the update.

brent

riffer lately I've been right-click/move to/copy to old school way of moving stuff. Was wondering if the lockout exists under that method as well. It might rule something out.

EbonJaeger

riffer Hm. I'm not able to reproduce this...

brent

EbonJaeger cannot reproduce either. I renamed three desktop folders while in nautilus.
