Papirus Folders Colors

[richb]

OK thanks.
All have rw as the second and third entries.

and the owners are correct?

those are fairly permissive permissions, it sounds like.

any duplicate files?

[richb]

owners are correct.
gtk3.0 and gtk 4.0 have some identical files

My observations.

The folder icons have a "paper" between the main folder foreground section and the curved background top section. MX papirus-folder-colors can't edit this. It's missing for some reason.

GUI is buggy for me. windows don't resize properly, On the Papirus Folder Recolor and Manage Folder Themes windows there is a resize line the box at the top that doesn't work and the mouse cursor changes to a double vertical arrow resize cursor and stays that way until I close the window. But on the Papirus Folder Themes window the box has scroll bars instead.

When you make a theme it creates a new theme folder with a buch of folders for the different size icons. A few times when I made a theme it didn't make any icons or folders, just the config files.

I always use the latest Papirus icons and papirus-folders from their github. I tried going back to the MX installation defaults but that didn't change anything that I could tell.

papirus-folders added some colors in the past year or so that don't appear in MX papirus-folder-colors predefined themes.

I just discovered that installing the latest github version of papirus-folders appears to cause this.

Does it work properly if you set the color back to the default blue with papirus-folders and then make a new theme with the app?

I don't know. I reset the folders to default with

Code: Select all

papirus-folders -u -D -t Papirus

then I uninstalled papirus-folders before I tried papirus-folder-colors again. It worked after that.

I discovered something bad about the new app.
I don't think it is possible to back up your modified themes or move them to another computer.
It creates them in either ~/.local/share/icons or /usr/share/icons.
I made a tar.gz archive of the theme folders in each location. (as sudo for the /usr folder)
Then I used the app to delete the themes.
Then I extracted the archives back to their original locations (as sudo for the /usr folder) and Archive Manager fails with a "Directory not empty" error.
I think it's because of the symlinks made when the app creates the folders and files.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

The paper is not missing, it wasn't included on purpose.

Yad is a bit weird with paned windows sometimes.

The papirus-folder script from papirus-development-team directly edits the symlinks in the main papirus icon theme itself.
This results in papirus-folder-colors not finding the icons it needs to copy and only generating the config files.
Papirus-folder-colors works correctly if you restore the papirus defaults with the -D option in papirus-folders script first.

adwaita, yaru etc. were excluded on purpose because they weren't playing nice.

Then I used the app to delete the themes.
Then I extracted the archives back to their original locations (as sudo for the /usr folder) and Archive Manager fails with a "Directory not empty" error.

I can't reproduce this. Make archive > delete with app > restore archive works for me.


It would be helpful in future if you could post bugs in the testing thread here viewtopic.php?p=757747#p757747

I'm no expert but could there be a qt/ gtk conflict? I always encounter them but am always using gtk as the dominant choice. I assume because @richb is use KDE it may be the other way round. I don't know how happy qt/kde might be with that.

Okay, back under my rock.
