MATE (and cinnamon) desktop icon organizer
Posted: Sunday 24th December 2023 3:03pm
Another possibly useful application for some..
From the ReadMe....
I made this because if i have more than one screen connected with MATE desktop it
often misplaces icons off screen.
Or if the HDMI lead is messed with, tv turned off, etc, icons can disappear off screen.
On running this program a list of desktop icons shows and any that are off screen get a red background.\
These can be double clicked to position them center screen.
Or there are 2 buttons that will position the desktop icons either horizontally or
vertically.
You can set X and Y spacing and outer margin size.
You can move the window to another monitor to move the icons to that screen.
Works with (and was designed for) caja desktop (MATE)
Also works with nemo-desktop (Cinnamon) but not on a second screen (as far as i know) as i don't know how to enable icons on the secondary monitor.
Enjoy.
Merry Christmas
