Would it be possible to add one application to Cinnamon ?
Name : folder-coror-switcher
It is available and installed in Linux-Mint
Thanks for reading

Hi Tony45;
Unfortunately my PC is dead... I have no graphics and the Bios of my motherboard which is from 2016... played a trick on me and has erased the partition table of the disks that I have partitioned with GPT...
When I can put a new graphic, I will have several days of work, to hopefully recover the most important data, of my most important personal data I had copies, but not the rest... I consider lost my virtual machines, ISOs, downloads and test installations...
In short... a disaster and a bad time to go through... Sorry for the rant...

I can't test it, but if the program is in the main Mint LMDE repository that is added to respin, there should be no problem, if you have to add another repository, I wouldn't advise it, but you can try adding it to “Debian” mode.
what you should not do is use PPAs, as they are incompatible with Debian.

Best regards

I am very very sorry to hear that.
As I had several disasters like that in the last 5 years, I know how you feel.
I wish you a speedy recovery
As for folder-color-switcher.......I will see what I can do myself.
There is no hurry for that
Thanks for the response, and again, I hope you get things right again

Hi:
I've been looking in my friend's Cinnamon respin and the package “folder-color-switcher” appears in the Mint LMDE repository, so you could install it without problems, what does it do or what is that package for?

Best regards

It allows you to change individually folder colors - on a one-by-one base !
Clock a folder, a menu pops up, select Red , click. and now you have a red folder.
If for some reason you want to reverse your choice, you can click < default > and all is original again. OR you can choose another color
However if you change to another OS than Mint, the color you choose is not there anymore---> Mint only

Sorry but I am not able to locate that Repo
Some help please

I think I found the problem / Issue
--I decided to re-download the original snapshot
--Then I burned it to 2 USBs with Mx Live USB Maker
---> First USB I choose FULL.....
---> Second USB I choose IMAGE ....
Results............
The one burned with FULL ---> Shows folder-color-switcher in Synaptic
The one burned with IMAGE --> Does NOT show folder-color-switcher in Synaptic

So, I take it as : The one shows Mint repos, the other does not show Mint repos

Maybe some corrections sometime ?? That is, if I am correct ofcourse ! !

Anyway, for me, I will do a brand-new install one of these days
No problem for me ( its part of Linux-Life )
Thanks for everything 1 ! !

Senpai
I installed your respin, created with FULL.....
I installed folder-color-switcher ( which was clearly in synaptic )
After install and reboot, there is no folder-color-switcher in the menu (nowhere )
Also, in Synaptic/Settings/Repositories......nothing pops up when clicking on repositories

Thats it for today
I give it another try tomorrow

EDIT:
I gave it a try from my install-USB
--->> same as above
--> Tomorrow is < Rest Day >

Edit 2:
I downloaded the .deb package from Mint
Installed using gdebi
Synaptic shows it's there
Menu shows nothing
Clicking on folders shows nothing

FYI : it's working in pclos-deb-cinnamon
It's working in LMDE v6
