Here is my WIP MPD frontend. The first image is the orig as posted over at bunsen, the second is the current status.

Apparently you can just install #baobab on #macos https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/baobab

#gnome #gtk

@alfonsosiciliano I think this should really be a development decision. When a GUI is well designed and implemented, whether it uses #qt or #gtk really shouldn't matter from the user's perspective.

I personally like #qt a lot, it's more or less the only reason I touch #cplusplus at all (really don't like that language, good old #c rocks 😏). And the one time it didn't fit the bill for me, for performance reasons with very special requirements, I finally resorted to coming up with my own little #X11 "toolkit" instead 🙈

sysctlview https://www.freshports.org/deskutils/sysctlview/ is a GUI utility for sysctl on #FreeBSD. :freebsd:
It's probably my first #opensource project 👨‍💻 , it's still in the Ports Collection 📦 and runs fine, but it hasn't been updated in years.

Maybe it's finally time to brush up on #C++ and give sysctlview a proper rewrite.
The original version uses #gtkmm (#GTK for C++), but a few years ago I ran a poll and most people preferred #qt
So maybe a QTsysctlview is on the horizon? 👀

🎉 Filmbook is now available on Flathub! 📷

Your film tracking app just got easier to install! You can now get Filmbook directly from Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.bjawebos.Filmbook

Built with Rust & GTK4/libadwaita, Filmbook helps analog photographers keep track of their film usage with a smooth, modern interface that works great on desktop Linux and even Linux phones like the Librem 5 and Pinephone Pro!

Calling all analog photographers: I need your creative input! What features are you missing? What would make your film photography workflow even smoother? Your ideas will help shape the future of Filmbook.

Help #Linux peeps.. What are some clean #gtk easy to use software centers that are available in #nixos and integrate with #flatpak .

I'm currently using gnome-software in my nixbook project (that runs cinnamon desktop) and it's pissing me off with system level notifications I can't seem to silence.

I'd love to find another option

I'm still pretty hyped about #Python and #GTK app development in #Linux. Making those apps is pretty fun! Should I create #Flatpak apps as well? Is there a way then to install command-line commands via Flatpak?

@tanishqkumar
I also wrote a small blog post few years back. It tries to summarize my experiences around #Python and #GTK development. I list my tools, development environment and tell about my development process as well as architectural patterns I use.

How can there even be an "free(): invalid pointer" error in #Python? I can only assume this is a bug in the CPython implementation… or perhaps in #GTK. Not sure if there's a way for me to tell, it happens very rarely but also randomly.

Greetings Programs!! We're back at it working on @pidgin!! Come on by and help us figure out exactly what we're working on!!

My presentation about native #Linux desktop app development with #Gtk and #python went well yesterday.

Here are some nice resources I mentioned at the end of my talk:

↗️ https://pygobject.gnome.org/
↗️ https://api.pygobject.gnome.org/
↗️ https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/visual_index.html

I'm planning to either write a small tutorial or blog about this or record a video tutorial.

#Helsinki Python community felt nice!

We have 2025 and #Firefox #GTK (#Linux) file dialog can sort files by date. Unless you use the search function by typing, it just springs back to alphanumerical sorting.

2025 and Firefox GTK save file dialog clearly manages to indicate the filename has input focus. Though (after clicking into the filelist) typing now starts the search function instead of entering into the filename field.; with no indication whatsoever. At least clear the selection from the filename, dammit, that is what indicates 'you are about to type over here'.

Older Debian, i have to admit. But even if this is, say, 4,5,6 years old … Seriously? I sure am too nitpicky. Who cares about those basics.

Trying to understand how to fully leverage GNOME Workbench for GTK app development on Linux. Docs and examples seem sparse. How do you use Workbench effectively in your workflow? Any tips or best practices? #GTK #GNOME #LinuxDev #PyGObject #OpenSource #FOSS #AppDev #DevTools

I'm looking for a standard way to develop GTK-based apps on #Linux but haven't figured it out yet. I found the Workbench app but don't understand how to use it.

I also tried prototyping an idea using #Python and the #GTK library with Claude, but still haven't found a solid approach to build the foundation.

Tomorrow I will give a presentation in #Helsinki about writing a native desktop app for #Linux with #Python and #GTK. I also heard that the event will be streamed.

I've been readying up my slides. I use free software, of course. #revealjs is a great #HTML based presentation framework. Diashows as code!

I finished my switch back to #debian #bookworm

I did still have some new issues that I didn't from when I'd originally installed #bookworm at release 12.1, and it seems since then some updates create a few niggles with certain self-compiles.

Resolved the last of my libqt5widget trackback errors by setting #qt5ct back to gtk2 rather than #kvantum. For whatever reason, that combination caused applications like #avidemux to fail to run. I had issues compiling that as well, but overcame them by fixing a typo in one of the cmake files.

Anyway, back to a stable and working environment.

Going to spend time in a virt-manager VM to test out #trixie as a clean install with #kde as the DE. I think having KDE as the base DE and then setting #gtk theme support is the better way around, and more of the apps I now run are Qt-based nowadays, and that seems to be a trend that is growing.

Today I realized that #Dosage is the only #GTK app I've installed via #Flatpak on my phone. So I made a #Debian package out of it:
