Under NSM, drumkv1 don't use system file picker even if option is checked
Houston4444 opened this issue · comments
launched under NSM, drumkv doesn't open system file pickers even if option is checked in "configure".
Uncheck and re-check this box make it works...until the next launch.
Configure... > Options > "Use desktop environment environment dialogs" option has no or should not have any effect when under a NSM session; the generic QFileDialog must be shown at all times, again when under a NSM session.
There were situations when using the DE's native file-picker/browser/requester dialogs would hang and freeze the whole show (especially on gnome3, iirc.); also, the "Gtk" widget style themes (the default under Gnome, Xfce, etc.) is prone to issues when dealing the native file-open/save dialogs whatever.
What DE is yours?
My DE is KDE.
I use drumkv last release (not master code).
I tried also running drumkv1_jack in a terminal, and I have not this issue, drumkv1 open well KDE file pickers !
so it should work, presenting the stock file-dialog from Qt5...
un-check that "use DE native dialogs" option and try again running drumkv1_jack, stand-alone ie. away from NSM session managers...
ps. also KDE5 / Plasma5.12, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Qt 5.10.0, x86_64 here in case it matters.
In standalone mode it works perfectly : Options > "Use desktop environment environment dialogs" is checked and I well have KDE file picker when I load audio file.
Under NSM, if I load a sound file, it opens QT File Dialog (and I don't like it, I have no shortcuts !). If I go to Options > "Use desktop environment environment dialogs", option is checked !
Uncheck and recheck make it works with KDE file pickers.
KDE /Plasma5.12 , Neon LTS Ubuntu 16.04 + KxStudio packages, Qt 5.9.3, x86_64 here.
you may try from latest git head master (2f3011e) whether things are any better.
cheers && thanks
sorry, I can't build it. there is no configure file.
I tried autoconf configure.ac il doesn't make configure file.
I tried autoconf
It creates a configure file but when I run ./configure
It says that wrong:
./configure: line 3855: PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG: command not found
There is no mention of autoconf in install or readme.md
the instructions to build right after you clone from git head are the following:
./autogen.sh or make -f Makefile.git
that will make the configure script to appear in the build source tree :)
then the plain standard and usual ordeal follows:
./configure
make
sudo make install
hth
