"open"/"save" silently do nothing, itch.io paid download
lygaret opened this issue · comments
I think I've got a bug, but there's not a lot to go on - no matter what I do, I can't get "open" or "save" to do anything; opening from examples works, but "open", "open from directory", and all the save options just silently do nothing.
This is the itch.io pro download on linux x64
- run bitty (sorry I accidentally changed workspaces)
- prove the app works, it runs
- try to save, nothing happens
- try to save as, nothing happens
- try to save as directory, nothing happens
- quit, asked to save, nothing happens
Happy to get anything else that would be helpful!
Hello,
Bitty Engine requires one of the following package to show file dialogs on Linux:
- zenity
- kdialog
- matedialog
- qarma
Please make sure some of these are available, and let me know if the problem remains.
Yep that did it, thanks! I'd recommend adding something about that to the installation instructions for linux; it's mentioned in the manual, but only as a requirement for building projects for desktop.
Actually, a popup in the workspace when trying something for which a tool can't be found would be best, because then I would have known what I needed to add. As it is, it feels like a bug, regardless of documentation.
Loving the project, just some thoughts.
Yep, it's better to give a notice than ignore in silence. Will make an update to show a popup for it.
Reopen until next update.
Added a notice in v1.2.2
