Re: very strange startup issue

I am going to try the desktop file edit. I had never seen it done that way. I used gnome-tweak-tool to do the autostart and it does not provide for delay. the options you provided do not work for me at all. They are ignored. I had to modify the exec line instead Exec=bash -c "sleep 7 &&...

Re: Advise on Cleaning up data

I have written a Point of Sale in gambas that is used all the time. They get very complex especially when doing receipts and figuring out pricing. I am lost as to how you are doing things on this but always happy to talk private about how we can do things. The way I handled this was since the sale i...

Re: take over system focus

I will give another try to the code bruce gave. But the mention of KDE made me cringe because now I am wondering if I have to worry about what desktop is being used. Something I had not considered.

Re: take over system focus

I tested out some of this and it works fine except for where it is really needed. None seem to pop up a notification over another application that is running full screen such as VLC or totem. I need to be able to put a message up even over a full screen app.

Re: problem with creating installer package

Yes it was working before but I think the last gambas update broke it. I also tried putting the dependancies into the installer where you would put them. In fact on of them is festival and they do not install so it looks like the dependencies are completely broken.

problem with creating installer package

I am using gambas 3.18.2 on fedora 36. I have found what I consider to be a serious issue. When I create an rpm or install package for my project it does not work. No dependencies are installed not even the gambas runtime. I have to install them all manually then run the rpm. I am not a beginner and...
