Infuriating #GTK discovery of the day: There is seemingly no way to load gettext `.mo` files from a GResource, and no way to overwrite the common `_("Hello there")` syntax to resolve to a custom function with a different i18n library

GTK 4.18.1 is out! This is the first stable release of the 4.18 cycle, and includes a few last minute additions:
- fractional scaling support on macOS works again
- the Android backend uses GL rendering for top level surfaces
Plus, as usual, lots of bug fixes, performance improvements, and documentation updates.
You can download the release archive from the usual place: download.gnome.org/sources/gtk…
Or you can wait until your distribution of choice is updated to ship GNOME 48.

Besides the AMD crasher, I wondered why the dev version of Showtime, #GNOME's power-efficient video player in incubation, sometimes still refused to launch; turns out it's randomly crashing with a segfault on startup for another reason.
After jumping through hoops to get a backtrace (#Python in #Flatpak makes things somewhat harder to debug), it turns out that #GStreamer is not the culprit. Presumably, it may be a bug in #GTK or somewhere else in the stack. Details here: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubat…

Introducing Refine, an app to tweak advanced and experimental settings in GNOME. It is an alternative to GNOME Tweaks, and is a pet project I'm currently working to experiment with PyGObject and dconf, while following the data-driven, object-oriented, and composition paradigms.
The entire codebase is made up of widgets that provide all the functionality needed to add an option. For example, instead of adding each option programmatically in Refine, the ultimate goal is to have it all done in the UI file.
For example, if we want to add an option to enable or disable middle click paste, all we need is the following code in the UI file:
$RefineSwitchRow {<br> title: _('Middle Click Paste');<br> schema-id: 'org.gnome.desktop.interface';<br> key: 'gtk-enable-primary-paste';<br>}<br>That's it. The
RefineSwitchRow widget will do whatever it needs to do to ensure the option is available, grab the setting if it's available, and display it to the user. Many of these widgets provide extra functionality, such as a Reset button.You can get Refine on Flathub: flathub.org/apps/page.tesk.Ref…
Everything else (source code, screenshot, etc.) is in the project website: tesk.page/refine/, as well as the Flathub link.

Introducing Casilda - A Wayland compositor widget!
A simple Wayland compositor widget for Gtk 4 which can be used to embed other processes windows in your Gtk 4 application.
It was originally created for Cambalache's workspace using wlroots, a modular library to create Wayland compositors.
Following Wayland tradition, this library is named after my hometown in Santa Fe, Argentina

@ebassi #Gtk troubles. Following toshiocp.github.io/Gtk4-tutori…. Window of sec 5, messes up all my xterms windows: flickering by frantic scrolling, repeated lines and chars. Closing the gtk4-window restores all to normal. On debian-sid w/ mate. After successless search for help, I found a link "contact" on gtk.org leading nowhere. No user-group, no email-list. I did find your Mastodon ID and installed it. Now I dare to ask: "Where does a stuck newby go with gtk4?"
Finally took the time to log into Patreon and support @sophie! I highly recommend doing the same if you'd like to see image editing in Loupe 🖼️✨

PyGObject, the #Python bindings for #GTK, have recently merged support for asynchronous programming, closing an orthogonality gap between Python's async support and GTK having been single-threaded / event based since forever: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobje…
This ends a decade of using projects such as gbulb that kindly bridged that gap.

Thanks to @slomo the #gstreamer gtk4-paintable-sink just got support for video rotations. This is nice for video apps, making playback of video recorded on phones (portrait mode) more easy or faster (avoiding a copy compared to using a dedicated gst videoflip element).
The change is even better for Snapshot, the #gnome camera app: it uses the sink for its viewfinder and avoiding additional copies here has quite an impact on #mobilelinux devices.
While @suraj_sloth is working on the #UnifiedPush connector side in #Chatty I got a chance to add the code for registering/unregistering #Matrix push gateways in #libcmatrix and Chatty (with this I can readily round trip messages up to the UP distributor):

I'm quite happy how upcoming performance improvements for #gnome Snapshot and #libcamera are shaping up. This is how things are now running for me on a #librem5:

I finally published my app to Flathub!
Echo is a GUI ping utility. Give it a try, but go easy on me as it's my first real project :))
Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!
- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

Over the last months, we've completely redesigned and rewritten @dino 's accounts and settings dialogs. The dialogs are combined into a single one now, which is adaptive and offers additional features like an option for OMEMO by default. The rewrite also resolves a number of issues and feature requests that were raised with the old implementation. It's still work in progress and will require further polishing.

Looking forward to work with you again next year and ship this!

Here's my latest update on Newton, the #Wayland-native, #Flatpak-friendly #accessibility project for the modern #FreeDesktop ecosystem, developed as part of @gnome and funded by @sovtechfund. It's not ready for production yet, but this blog post includes a demo video and links to GNOME OS and Flatpak runtime builds you can try. As a bonus, because I'm integrating #AccessKit into #GTK, GTK apps will finally have #a11y on Windows and macOS. blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/1…
One more demo of GTK autocomplete in Workbench
I'm very happy so far with the experience, checkout the video.
I love that the same feature can be used to discover widgets, properties and write UI faster.
There are still many improvements to be made, but I think it's close to a first release.
You can try it yourself in Workbench nightly blog.sonny.re/workbench-news
Feedback very welcome
Credits to @flyingpimonster for making this possible!

Made good progress this weekend on #IconBear , my upcoming open-source icon manager for Linux.
* Install pre-packaged icon sets to quickly start building your library.
* Icons are automatically categorised as "Outline", "Filled", "Duotone" or "Color" when you import them.
* Icons are loaded asynchronously, for improved performance.
Once work on importing, deleting and filtering sets is finished, I'll be looking to release the app 🙌
