GlouOS 0.10
Added
Even the upload dialog is GlouOS now. When a browser or app asks you to
pick a file to upload (or where to save one), you get the GlouOS File
Explorer as the picker - same sidebar, breadcrumbs, search and file-type
filter - instead of the old Dolphin-style dialog. Open, save,
multi-select and choose-folder dialogs are all covered.
A proper Dolphin-style sidebar. The File Explorer sidebar now has
sections: Recent (Recent Files from across the system, and the folders
you visited recently), Devices (every mounted drive with its size,
root included) and Network (mounted smb/nfs/sshfs shares), so
everything connected to your PC is one click away.
Extract archives right from the File Explorer. Right-click a .zip, .tar.gz, .7z, .rar (and friends) and you get a proper Extract
menu - Extract here, Extract to "name/" or Extract to… a folder you
pick. Extraction runs in the background so the window never freezes, and
Ctrl+Z puts it back like it never happened.
An "Open with" menu. The File Explorer right-click menu now lists the
installed apps that can actually open the file you clicked, plus a Choose another app… picker for everything else - no more round-trips
through another file manager just to open something in a specific app.
Drag & drop everywhere. You can finally drag files between folders,
drop them onto folders, and drop them straight onto the sidebar - Home,
Desktop, Downloads, your game drives, all of it. A plain drop moves,
hold Ctrl to copy, and dragging files out into other apps works too.
Undo. Real undo.Ctrl+Z in the File Explorer now undoes copies,
moves, renames, drags, new files and folders, extractions - and even
restores files you deleted, pulling them back out of the wastebin.
Proper keyboard shortcuts in the File Explorer. F5 refreshes, Ctrl+F
jumps to search, Ctrl+N opens a new window, Ctrl+W closes it,
Ctrl+Shift+N makes a folder, Ctrl+Shift+C copies the path, Shift+Delete
permanently deletes, and Alt+←/→/↑ navigate - on top of the cut / copy /
paste / rename keys you already had.
The File Explorer remembers how you like it. Switch to Details or
Icons, sort by size, drag a column wider, resize the window - it all
sticks, and every new window opens exactly the way you left the last one.
A fuller right-click menu. Create link, Duplicate, Sort by (name,
size, type or date), Select all and Undo join the menu, so the custom
context menu now covers what you'd reach for in Dolphin - with the same
GlouOS look it had before.
Changed
You can pin apps to the taskbar now. Right-click any running app and Pin to Task Manager - it was hidden before because the whole desktop
was locked down. The layout is still protected: the edit mode that liked
to duplicate your taskbar (and the Add Panel / Add Widgets entries) stays
tucked away, but pinning just works.
"Show in folder" opens the GlouOS File Explorer. When a browser or
any other app asks to reveal a downloaded file, it now opens the GlouOS
File Explorer with that file already highlighted - instead of dumping you
into Dolphin.
Installing asks you once, not twice. The installer's Summary page is
the confirmation now. The extra "are you sure?" popup is gone - which
also happened to be the popup that liked to open on a screen that wasn't
there (see below).
Fixed
AppImages just run. Double-clicking an AppImage used to hit KDE's
"launching executables is not allowed" wall (and downloads aren't marked
executable anyway). GlouOS now treats an AppImage like Windows treats an
.exe: double-click it and it runs, from the File Explorer, the desktop or
the browser. The FUSE library AppImages need is preinstalled too.
The Extract menu shows up for every archive. Right-click acts on
exactly the file under the cursor, and archives are recognised by their
content as well as their name - so a zip with a strange filename still
gets Extract here and friends.
The installer stays put on multi-monitor rigs. It used to hop from
screen to screen every few seconds because it kept re-deciding which
monitor was "first". It now picks one screen (preferring a laptop's
built-in panel) and stays there for the whole install.
The invisible install confirmation. Clicking Install could pop the
confirm dialog onto a disabled monitor, leaving you to press Enter and
hope. With the double-confirm removed, there is nothing left to hide.
Discord screen sharing on Wayland actually works. The GlouOS Discord
launcher now captures through PipeWire and the desktop portal (the same
trick Vesktop uses), so you can stream and share windows without falling
back to Discord in a browser.
Only one File Explorer in the start menu. Searching "file explorer"
used to find two - one of them secretly Dolphin in a trench coat. The
leftover entry is gone, on fresh installs and existing ones.
