There's also

Code: Select all

diff -r dir1 dir2

This is the first thing I tried. It goes through files contents, so not what I want.

If anyone's interested, this will also work for my purpose

Then do it again for folder 2, and compare file1.lst to file2.lst

Actually, meld works great. In its Preferences you can select "Compare files based only on size and timestamp" which is just what I need.

Thanks.

Any suggestions? Yes, have a look at meld it's in the software manager With folders that large it will take "some" time, I think that is reasonable to expect. I did. but meld goes through each file one by one so it takes ages. I want something that takes a look at folder1/file.txt and fol...

Is there a tool that lets me compare the contents of two folders. It's different stuff: photos, documents, executables, so it includes lots of binary files too. The folders are 500GB in size and have around 320k files. I've found some tools but they're mostly for version control, so they go through ...

OK, found it:
e.g.
desktop-grid-adjust=60;95;

I'm not insterested in changing them, I'd just like to know where Cinnamon stores those values. Those sliders have to have some numerical values that are stored somewhere. I remember finding them some time ago, but can't locate it now.

I can change the grid spacing through UI as in the attachment. In what file are the numerical values for this actually stored by Cinnamon?

Linux 19.3 Tricia
Cinnamon version 4.4.8

Thanks.

Using Cinnamon 4.4.8 When I go to System Settings - Themes, there are 5 categories that I can change: Window Borders, Icons, Controls, Mouse Pointer and Desktop. Which one of those determines the colour of the window Title bar (I mean the bar at the very top; in the screenshots below it's the bar wh...

OK, so after reading about this, I've added the following to sysctl.conf vm.dirty_background_bytes = 52428800 vm.dirty_bytes = 104857600 vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 100 vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 300 That's a 100MB limit for dirty bytes and 3sec expiration. Now, after copying is finished sync ta...

I don't know about Cinammon, but with Mate, Notifications pops up telling me that it's safe to remove the drive.
Do you have desktop Notifications enabled?

Yes. I have notifications enabled. I never see them when ejecting a usb stick.

When I copy a large amount of files to a USB stick, after the copy dialogue finishes, if I click on the drive icon in the panel, then click Eject on the right (as shown in the screen belew) and wait a few seconds for the icon to disappear, then unplug the USB sticks, then many (often all) files are ...

Looks like it got fixed. Thanks. So it should be there in the next Cinnamon update.

Just curious. Has anyone been getting it on Mint 20?

Ah, finalrd got an update today. I was hopeful, but no luck; still getting it.

When the Save As or whatever window is open, press Ctrl+L and you'll hopefully get what you want.

Wow. So simple... It never occured to me to try the keyboard shortcut.

Thanks!

And whaddya mean "normal windows"? :wink: A normal window is any Nemo window. There is a button that you can use to Toggle Location entry (or you can use a shortcut Ctrl+L). normal window.png I don't know what desktop you're using but in the ones I've used you can just click something to ...

Gnote always felt clunky to me. I've been happy with Sticky Notes (https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/194). The notes in Sticky Notes don't waste as much screen real estate as Gnote. I can also easily back up the notes.

Another vote for the sticky notes applet.

Using Cinnamon 4.4.8

In the windows that appear when you Open, Save... etc, is it possible to toggle location entry so you can type it. Like what you can do on on a normal windows by pressing Ctrl+L?
It's a bit of a pain that you can't copy/paste a location.

Is it safe to use others GPG key? Yes, this is the user's public key. The purpose of public keys is so that others use them to verify that the given file came from the user and not someone else. Basically you're making sure that what you get from this repo came from its author. EDIT: Just to be cle...
