GNOME published entry number 113 of its initiative known as TWIG. The changes, which reflect what happened from September 8 to 15, include many updates, or so they say in their headline. Then, when we read the article, we see that there are, but perhaps not so many to highlight it right away. I find it more interesting that they accept new applications in their circle, and that has happened again this week.
The lucky app is called Errands, and allows us to keep track of our tasks with a good set of functions, such as sub-tasks, custom colors and history of previously deleted tasks. What you have below is the rest of the News list that they published a few hours ago.
This week in GNOME
- Photometric Viewer now has the ability to convert between IESNA and EULUMDAT file formats. Additionally, you can export photometric data in CSV and JSON formats, as well as light distribution curves in PNG or SVG formats. Furthermore, the software now allows you to calculate the annual energy consumption of the luminaire and compare its light color temperature with that of common light sources. Now the app is also available in German and Polish.
- Tagger v2023.9.1 has arrived with this list of new features:
- Added the ability to open, manage and create playlists within Tagger. As a result, “Music Folder” has now become “Music Library”, which can be opened from a supported folder or playlist file.
- Timestamps of synchronized lyrics will now be displayed in mm:ss.xx format according to the LRC specification. When creating a new letter, both hh:mm:ss and mm:ss.xx can be specified and Tagger will convert them appropriately.
- Tagger will display the headers in the list of music files when sorting them to provide a more organized view of the files.
- Fixed an issue where lrc files were not imported correctly.
- The size of the main Tagger window will be remembered and restored when you restart the application.
- Updated translations.
- Parabolic 2023.9.0 has been released with:
- Added support for two-letter languages with region codes.
- Added a preference to remove media source data from embedded metadata (previously it was automatically removed).
- Parabolic will now use the system's credential manager (i.e. DBus Secret Service) to secure the Keychain.
- Parabolic will no longer ask for the subtitle format, but will instead use the format supported by the file type.
- Fixed an issue where translated metadata was embedded instead of the original media metadata.
- Updated translations.
- GNOME Network Displays can now embed the cursor in the video stream.
- Denaro v2023.9.2 has arrived this week with this list of new features:
- Fixed an issue where the currency conversion service was providing an incorrect conversion rate.
- Fixed an issue where small converted amounts were displayed as 0.
- The incorrect display of amounts in locations that use the Cape Verdean escudo as currency has been corrected.
- Improved user experience in the currency converter dialog.
- Updated translations.
- Cavalier v2023.9.1-beta1 has arrived with:
- Added the ability to set the foreground image for box modes.
- Transparency can now be set for both the background and foreground image.
- Cavalier has returned to using PulseAudio by default. You can change the audio backend to any supported by CAVA using the CAVALIER_INPUT_METHOD environment variable.
- Updated translations.
- EGO Review Guidelines and Weather O'Clock have been updated to support GNOME 45.
- Just Perfection also now supports GNOME 45, and now has a new animation that can disable the GNOME Shell animation without disabling the application ones. Additionally, the applications menu feature has been removed as there is no application menu indicator in GNOME Shell 45 and the activities button icon has also been removed as GNOME Shell 45 uses workspace indicators on the button of activities.
And that's been it for this week at GNOME.
