Can someone point me in the right direction on how to display a full applications menu like the one you find in XFCE

Hi,

FWIW pressing Alt+F1 brings up standard MATE application menu appearing wherever your mouse pointer happens to be.

@OP

I shared your opinion but since the latest libtorrent-rasterbar upgrade from few days back is causing app to not start, I no longer think it is commendable.

Today, a folder that was slow to open had all text files and 1 PDF. The PDF did have a diagram in it. Yes, well, I don't think that preview thumbnails are generated for text files at all, so it might be what smurphos suspected; that by running several browsers simultaneously and Windows 10 in VM, y...

Regarding folder opening slowness, maybe you should clear the thumbnails cache, if those are enabled? I found limiting and lowering thumbnails cache size and age is useful. From Pjotr's tips: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/clean-mint.html#ID3 Edit : and if the folders that open noticeab...

^Yes, forgot to mention that. I sometimes wonder if it would be better to keep Compiz settings in a flat file format.

If all was working with a different profile then you could rename back and use that old compiz-1 settings folder. I don't understand why would you want to use --replace if it hasn't crashed. I use it very rarely and only when it happens that windows decorations are gone and sometimes even that is no...

I've never heard of a timeshift snapshot. Is that something that would have had to have been done before the problem ocured? Unfortunately, yes. If it is not a Flatpak version of Krita, try purging it. And if it is strictly a Compiz problem, you could either try loading the mint profile https://i.i...

Hi,

By rolling back to working OS from a Timeshift snapshot.

Caja is the same other than it doesn't ofer the long format - the option highlighted by ColdBootll just switches from decimal with decimal notation (MB) to binary with binary notation (MiB) Yes, but it does display 95621118 B to appear as 91.19 MB when IEC is on. MiB or MB is immaterial. https://i....

As noted, you should definitely look for it in Nemo's preferences.



This is not Nemo, but I doubt it lacks the feature to display sizes either way.

There is also an official Appimage version of Remmina weighing just 19MiB. http://www.remmina.org/appimage-test/x86_64/ I am a big advocate of AppImage, but I am not sure this AppImage is the best way to go. It dates to 2017, and there have been several updates since it was released. My bad, sorry.

Well, I for one am very glad that flatpak is supported. I have been encountering more and more situations where the only way I can get something to work in linux mint is to use the flapak version of a program. I don't understand religion very much. I think instead anything we want to be able to wor...

Regarding Spanish, I find that difficult to believe since you live in Florida. I'm neither English or Spanish speaker and yet I've found out striking language similarities because, just from knowing a bit of English, once I decided I wanted to be able to read a particular book which was, incidentall...

Enjoy,

Cheers!

(in MATE's Caja file manager, there is probably a similar thing): Yes, MATE's Caja file manager likewise offers bulk renaming when several files are selected. Edit: not part of official Mate 1.22.0. I installed it from Robert Tari's PPA(cajarename) https://launchpad.net/~robert-tari/+archive/ubuntu...

CLEVER! LOVE IT!!! (did the same with .ods + .odt)
Next how get rid of the 'Empty file' in the same menu, can't see it in templates

Sorry, from what I could see, it is hard-coded into Caja.

You can create a blank xed.txt file in the Templates folder. Then, when you want to create a new text document with txt extension in some other folder, just pick "xed" instead of "Empty file" from the context menu and re-type the highlighted name.

Hi,

I'll add Xtreme download manager and 4K video downloader to the list of suggestions.

BTW, DL speeds are fine when using youtube-dl, something is wrong with your connection.

Doesw anyone actually think that in Linux you don't accumulate clutter and bugs over time? :lol: :roll: Yes, upgraded packages can sometimes bring that. But once all software is in place and in working order and one is satisfied overall, the possibility can be reduced by applying only the kernel &a...

The synaptic package is still there - but it's in the Universe repo which not enabled out of the box in Ubuntu - https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/synaptic Enable Universe in the Software and Updates app and Synaptic package manager will be available in the Ubuntu Software app. Thanks for reminding...
