yad 14 (mx23 testing)

See above, Folders is affected

Ninja'd. Yep, there's my answer.
The question now is: Are we definitely going to move to yad 14?

its either move to 14 or keep 0.40. neither is in trixie.

I installed yad 14.1 on my daily driver and there were problems with apt-notifier.
Some options would not open, and when trying to open MXPI from that menu there was an error about not being able to run a command as another user.

After this, I rebooted - or at least tried to. My MX-23 install had been borked and stops booting right after the network connects but before a GUI comes up. I don't actually know if yad was the cause - could be a coincidence - but I would suggest anybody testing yad 14.1 with apt-notifier menus should have timeshift or a very recent backup.

Ubuntu has put yad 7.2 in Plucky so that version should have had more testing.

I've been looking for a description of the new features of 14 but not having much luck. The question lurking at the back of my mind is: does it offer anything we actually need?

I've been using yad 14.1 for a couple months now and haven't really had problems with apt-notifier. The only thing I see is that the 'Close' button for the History window is labeled 'gtk-close'. I thought that also used to be a problem with the View and Upgrade window but not seeing it now.

I was trying to remember where I downloaded the 14.1 deb from that I've been using, turns out I built it (forgot).

Here's a changelog of sorts for yad https://github.com/v1cont/yad/blob/master/NEWS

There are some things I like better about apt-notifier, with updated YAD on my system the 'View and Upgrade' window is now a text info window rather than a terminal window and it looks a bit more 'pulled-together' in general, I do also see the 'gtk-close' button on the history dialog..

*NOTE I have not rebooted yet but I'd sincerely hope a yad upgrade couldn't cause trouble that deep...

*EDIT I looked back in a VM and the older version actually shows a text info dialog for 'View and Upgrade' so that IS NOT new, I'm testing some new themes and probably have not looked very closely at apt-notifier's guts in a while... Apparently I also need to stop day drinking...

Thanks.

... yad OK and cancel buttons now just display "gtk-ok" and "gtk-cancel" respectively ...

This is less serious than the size differences with "--height=..." and "--geometry=...x..."
A good idea would be to adjust the => /usr/local/lib/antiX/antiX-common.sh

Can you explain what you mean?

... mit Yad-0.40 , dann sehen die Fenster eh' anders aus ...

Mit unterschiedlichen Fenstergrößen möchte ich mich erst später wieder beschäftigen,
denn wenn Debian-Update mit der neuen Yad-Version nachzieht, kann ich wieder --geometry=700x... einsetzen und das Problem ist schnell erledigt.
Die Kompatibilität der unterschiedlichen Desktop-Environments und Desktop-Themen von Linux ist in der Realität auch nicht unbegrenzt ...

Code: Select all

I'm currently omitting the height information for the text window because the Yad versions are incompatible.
