If you have a backup of your current theme, you may be able to use it in 20.3.
/usr/share/themes
Which folder within /usr/share/themes are you speaking about to backup the current theme? All of them or a specific one (Default? Linux Mint?)? :oops:

Re: FYI: qTox (Qtox) secure multimedia messenger installation

Thanks again phd21!

Was planning to install the app through the script but finally gave a go to the appimage. Looks like fine.
Not much apps as appimage so that they don't take much space, for now.

Re: FYI: qTox (Qtox) secure multimedia messenger installation

Wondering why they do not simply release a .deb version!
v1.17.3 is out now (5 days ago).

Re: Snapd in Update Manager.

The search within /File/History did not give any result. Still don't know how snapd came in.
Since nothing seemed to rely on snapd I removed the package and no problem so far.

Yes, MATE.
Had a look at the smplayer.desktop file, did not see the menu entry or anything related to that there. Let's wait for MATE users :wink:

Re: Open With for folders?

Thanks Kester for your reply. Forgot to specify that I'm under LM19.3. The file manager is Caja. Yes, it's about managing the right-click menu for folders. Tried anyway what you proposed but there is no 'Configure custom actions' (or similar). Searches on the net did not give the appropriate answer ...

Open With for folders? [Solved]

Hi,

Sorry if it has been asked before but I did not find an answer here.
Where is it possible to manage the 'Open With' properties for folders? There is such tab in files properties, but not for folders.
Thanks.

Hi, Newbie question it is. Was searching about how to open a file from the Panel. There are some explanations in links like https://blog.softhints.com/linux-mint-add-shortcuts-panel/ , but it requires the panel launcher and 'Files' in Accessories that is missing in my LM 19.3 Mate.

Re: FYI: qTox (Qtox) secure multimedia messenger installation

Now that several countries request their citizen to be confined, too bad to see that qtox does not propose any new version (latest from mid 2018) and any alternative to the very often (too often) mentioned skype.
