Sorry for not posting for so long. It’s that I haven’t got anything new to post, I am just fixing bugs, that’s all. Here is a full list of everything that I have fixed so far. If there is a bug that’s been bothering you, please post here and I will take a look at it.
- BugFix: Fixed spiltter issues in the application menu and file manager. There was an annoying bug that caused the widgets on the left side of the splitter to resize when the parent window size changed. In the file manager, this means resizing the file manager horizontally would cause the file manager’s sidebar to also resize. Likewise, maximizing and restoring the file manager’s window would also trigger the same issue. In the Application Menu, resizing the third pane made the first panel (left most panel) to also resize. It is all fixed.
- BugFix: Orbitiny’s File Manager (Qutiny): An Issue with the File Search – An intermittent issue where the user is unable to cancel an existing search operation or file browser crashing when clicking the tab’s close button.
- BugFix: Orbitiny’s File Manager (Qutiny): When pressing the “Delete” button on your keyboard, it would try to move the selected file(s) to the Trash even when files are not part of your home directory. This lead to a spam of messages being shown on the screen advising you that the file cannot be moved to the trash and if you want to delete it instead. It’s not a problem if you have like 2-3 files selected but it is a problem if you have like 100 files selected (you’d get 100 message box prompts),
- BugFix: Orbitiny’s File Manager (Qutiny): – intermittently losing its settings when launched (including theme config) caused by a race condition like error where multiple code sections were trying to update settings.ini at the same (or few milliseconds apart) time.
- BugFix: Orbitiny’s File Manager (Qutiny): – When you have a selection of large amount of files and you select “Delete”, there was a delay from the moment you pressed Delete and the time you get the “Are you sure…” message prompt.
- BugFix: Orbitiny’s File Manager (Qutiny): Fixed a file deletion bug when a large selection of files are selected – sometimes Qutiny would freeze or crash.
- BugFix: Fixed a long standing issue with the custom context menus. When showing nested sub-popup menus (leading from one popup to another and to another and so on), the ones previously shown were getting hidden and they should not have.
- BugFix: Fixed an issue related to desktop icons themes. Setting a new desktop icon background was not working.
- BugFix: A bug with the “Paste Image” function in the context menus. It worked intermittently after moving it to a separate thread.
- BugFix: Fixed a Drag&Drop issue in the Application Menu when pinning desktop files to the sidebar. Due to a coding error, it was failing to assign a desktop icon to the item being pinned. That is fixed.
- BugFix: Fixed an unintentional panel docking to the sides of the screen when you clicked a panel handle or the button on the right-hand edge of the panel.
- BugFix: Again related to the panel, fixed an intermittent panel crashing bug when you try to dock the panel with the panel handle to a screen edge.
- BugFix: Fixed a massive performance hogging bug with the CPU load monitor.
- BugFix: Fixed an issue with the Home button in the Applications Menu. Clicking on it was launching your home directory in the file manager determined by “xdg-open” rather than the one set by Orbitiny.
So, I am right here and working on the project actively. Pilot 11 is virtually ready and after spending so much time on the code related to theming, I am now fixing all the bugs that I came across in the process.
