Gambas ONE

Ok, so I've had a chance to check it out. It turns out that xdg-desktop-portal was already installed in my Debian Testing Vm, so maybe Debian still has to do more work on it. But setting Desktop.UsePortal=False in Form_Open did the trick and I no longer get the error I originally described, so thank...

Thanks, Bruce. I'm a bit busy with work atm, so will try both when I have a bit more free time, and then report back.
As for your second suggestion, where would I set Desktop.UsePortal = False ?

When trying to open a file or folder with the following code: Public Sub btnOpen_Click() Desktop.Open(Path_to_file_or_folder) End I get this error message in Debian Testing (Gambas 3.19): This application has raised an unexpected error and must abort. org.freedesktop.DBus.ErrorServiceUnknown: The na...

Some further thoughts on this. I'm not even sure if there are other Gambas3 controls that offer the same functionality as gb.qt5.Webkit for editing html content, so my original question might not be relevant. I did re-check the Arch AUR and found build scripts for qt5.Webkit there, but on second tho...

I have 2 apps where I use the qt5.Webkit component, specifically the Webview in that component, as an HTML editor. And I use the Webview.HitTest method to test whether I am clicking on an image, a link, o...

Thanks for the tip to install all gambas3 packages in one go, Bruce. It will save me time in the future, though I've never had a problem installing Gambas in Debian 10, 11 or 12 using my longer-winded approach. It's quite a while since I've used Manjaro, but I seem to recall a similar problem with s...

Sorry, a bit late to this post, and my response is probably not helpful to you if you have abandoned Debian 12. Anyway for what it's worth, Gambas works just fine for me in Debian 12 on two different laptops a 13y-old Dell Vostro 5460 and a much newer Dell 5515 Ryzen edition running MX Linux (KDE ve...
