Under NSM, drumkv1 don't use system file picker even if option is checked #21

Closed Houston4444 closed 6 years ago

Houston4444 commented 6 years ago

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 !

rncbc commented 6 years ago

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 (https://github.com/rncbc/drumkv1/commit/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 cheers
