Bookmarks config file #1009
Comments
Because of pcmanfm? Afaik only arch has pcmanfm-gtk3. Atm bookmarks are shared with thunar, nautilus and others probably. So existing bookmarks will be ported to a new config file? GTK4 should provide backwards compatibility too, so the current approach won't be unusable soon IMO. |
Yes, it'll be backward compatible (I already made a patch): After the first run of any libfm-qt based app, libfm-qt will make its separate bookmarks file by using the GTK3 file (if any) and won't share any change to it it with GTK afterward. Some users might consider it as a good thing because their GTK bookmarks will be kept untouched.
Do you really expect backward compatibility from GNOME? ;) BTW, do you know how GTK4 manages bookmarks? I installed |
Maybe the lxqt portal? I've no idea about GTK4 and I prefer to remain in that state. Let's make a PR and maybe there will be some more people discuss it. |
Yes. I just wanted to see how a purely GTK4 file dialog managed bookmarks. But it isn't important.
Will do it soon. |
The new file is `~/.local/share/libfm-qt/bookmarks`. If it doesn't exist or is empty, as soon as a libfm-qt based app is launched, the GTK3 file `~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks` will be consulted for backward compatibility, then the new file will be created and the GTK3 file will be ignored. Closes #1009 NOTE: The portal file dialogs will see the change after a reboot (or after restarting user portal services).

For bookmarks we use
~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarksto have compatibility with GTK3 apps. We also check the legacy file of GTK2 (why?).I don't know about GTK4, but I think following GTK isn't a good idea after GTK3. Instead, I propose that we forget about GTK ≥ 4 and take a more self-consistent approach, by using a file of our own (perhaps
~/.local/share/libfm-qt/bookmarks), with~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarksonly for backward compatibility.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
