[SOLVED] MX-17: Can't install showfoto - dependencies' problem

[dolphin_oracle]

The packages aren't broke.

You can modify how we deal with qt theming in the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98qtconfig file.

Does that mean losing your carefully designed theming defaults? Greetings, Joe

Just for the Qt apps. That file does covery things systemwide.

Not nice. There's no other way whatsoever? Greetings, Joe

you can add the parameter tim suggested to just the desktop file for show photo. then only that app is different.

And yes, that's the current state of themeing between qt and gtk.

here's some info from the arch wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/qt ... KDE_Plasma

Thanks. So I'll mark this "SOLVED", as the package does indeed install, while the issue of it not running is another one.

Hopefully someone will fork showfoto and increase the compatibility of the fork.

Confirmed on a generic install, and that Tim's fixes work. You could edit the menu entry to add one of those lines before the "showfoto".

Sorry Stevo, because is a thread of times ago ( today I tried to run ShowFoto...) and I made a search on forum.

You mean.....

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3 before showfoto -qwindowtitle %c %U in the command edit box ?





This gives me the follow error:



I can run ShowFoto from Terminal using this command

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3 showfoto

but I am not able to make a launcher for it.


Seems that producing
a bash file (saving as showFoto.sh or whatever name.sh )

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3 showfoto 

and executing as bash showFoto.sh or sh showFoto.sh or simply changing permissions of this batch as executable makes the job.
