It is not clear how toexpose these. The current Evdev and FF frameworks are too limiting. We hopeto have a dialog on how to expose these over time in a generic way.Companies are starting to get it - make a good controller, make the code open so everyone can use it, people will buy your controller.XFCE 4.16 has been Released!https://www.xfce.org/about/tour416The Settings Manager itself received a visual refresh of its filter box*which can now be hidden permanently*Search capabilities of the filter box were improved by searching the descriptive 'Comments' part of each dialog's launcherDefault Applications is a new dialog represents a merger between the previously available 'Mime Settings' and the 'Preferred Applications' dialogs.Added fractional scaling based on the RandR extension of X11Added more default keyboard shortcuts out of the box (Examples: for window tiling or to open Thunar)xfce4-panelThe panel received quite a few noteworthy updates*Animation for autohide and intellihide*New 'Status Tray' plugin that combines both legacy Systray item support with modern StatusNotifier item support*Dark mode support*Launchers showing additional actions on right-click*Window buttons offering to Launch a new instanceXFCE Power Managment was cleaned upThe settings dialog of the power manager was cleaned up and shows either 'on battery' or 'plugged in' settings as opposed to both in a huge table. DarkTable - 3.4 Encore!https://www.darktable.org/2020/12/darktable-3-4/Best professional photography tools out thereThis is the second major release of 20205,500 commits in 2020!Many of the computationally-intensive image processing algorithms have been updated to be faster and more scaleable when running on the CPU.Improved operations to a number of the toolsReleasing the first version of the new user manual, now split into a separate project named “dtdocs”. We have completely reorganised and rewritten the manual into a more maintainable structure using Markdown. This project has involved new content as well as a significant overhaul of the text, making it much easier to read for native English speakersIn addition, filmic RGB version 4 now works with OpenCL and highlight reconstruction is now significantly faster with OpenCL-enabled hardware.New Module: Color CalibrationTone Equalizer ImprovementsExport Print SizesMap View ChangesThe global color picker module UI has been overhauledIt is now possible to automatically hide the header buttons on processing modules in the darkroomHovering your mouse over the header of a processing module now displays a tool tip providing detailed in-app documentation.Many users have requested customization of module groups, and now that feature is here! Processing modules in the darkroom can now be assigned to user-defined module groups. This replaces the previous “favorites” group and the “more modules” module with a tool that allows you to create your own module groups and presets based on your work flow.Feedbackhttps://www.synology.com/en-us/support/nvr_selectorPick of the Weekhttps://snapdrop.net/Gadget of the Weekhttps://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/[email protected]/-- The Extra Credit Section --For links to the articles and material referenced in this week's episode check out this week's page from our podcast dashboard!This Episode's Podcast DashboardPhone Systems for Ask Noah provided by VoxtelesysJoin us in our dedicated chatroom #AskNoahShow on Freenode!-- Stay In Touch --Find all the resources for this show on the Ask Noah Dashboard Ask Noah DashboardNeed more help than a radio show can offer?
