| 13:13:02 | <kora9> | Hey! Which GUI apps do people commonly use with xmonad for various things? |
| 13:14:46 | <kora9> | i.e. file managers etc |
| 13:31:17 | <vrs> | spacefm is nice |
| 13:40:09 | <kora9> | Cool. Will check it out |
| 13:40:18 | <kora9> | Is there a lighter/better alternative to gtkfilechooser? |
| 13:42:51 | <dminuoso_> | Emacs serves *all* my needs. |
| 13:47:36 | <dminuoso_> | It's a very nice file manager indeed. |
| 13:52:35 | <kora9> | dminuoso_ can you replace gtkfilechooser with it? |
| 13:57:50 | <geekosaur> | can't you use dmenu as a file chooser? |
| 13:58:18 | <geekosaur> | (dmenu_run is an application chooser but you can run dmenu directly to choose from lists of anything) |
| 14:01:04 | <kora9> | geekosaur, yes, but how would it get called by the application that spawns gtkfilechooser? |
| 14:01:52 | <dminuoso_> | kora9: Sure. Emacs replaces all of gtk for me. |
| 14:02:13 | <kora9> | dminuoso_: Cool, how do you have it spawned for file choosing? |
| 14:02:22 | <dminuoso_> | I think you're not getting the joke here. |
| 14:02:33 | <geekosaur> | afaik that's not spawned, it's a library that you can |
| 14:02:39 | <geekosaur> | t replace |
| 14:03:11 | <geekosaur> | the application is for use by shell scripts |
| 14:03:37 | <dminuoso_> | I dont really end up in a situation where I need a file chooser at all. |
| 14:04:27 | <kora9> | geekosaur, ah. I found that it's possible to spawn KDE's file chooser instead of GTK's though, even if gtk apps. There's apparently some way to select a different file chooser, but I haven't found anyone that's replaced it with anything that isn't KDE's |
| 14:04:32 | × | cfricke quits (~cfricke@user/cfricke) (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) |
| 14:04:48 | <dminuoso_> | But seriously, isnt file chooser something that a desktop environment handles? |
| 14:04:58 | <dminuoso_> | Or is there any X11 control for requesting a file dialog, geekosaur? |
| 14:05:11 | <dminuoso_> | (Or dbus, even?) |
| 14:05:28 | <kora9> | I have file choosers pop up fairly routinely, mostly via web browsers through web apps "select a file"-dialogs or Slack's attach a file thing |
| 14:05:30 | <geekosaur> | X11 isn't that high level. I could imagine something via dbus but afaik it's not used that way |
| 14:05:57 | <kora9> | geekosaur, dminuoso_ I found this: https://superuser.com/questions/944119/replace-gtk-file-dialog-with-alternative |
| 14:06:30 | <kora9> | I would love to trigger something like dmenu/emacs/ranger or whatever like that |
| 14:06:48 | <dminuoso_> | kora9: well yes, but those select-a-file-dialog from the web browser is web browser controlled. |
| 14:06:53 | → | cfricke joins (~cfricke@user/cfricke) |
| 14:06:54 | <dminuoso_> | at least on firefox. |
| 14:07:32 | <dminuoso_> | Since firefox is a GTK application, its programmed to use a GTK file choser whenever firefox wants to open a file |
| 14:07:34 | <kora9> | dminuoso_: Yeah it seems that gtk apps call a gtk function to spawn gtkfilechooser, but it can still be replaced (in GTK apps) with the KDE file chooser, so it's possible to replace it |
| 14:07:54 | <dminuoso_> | Sure |
| 14:08:01 | <dminuoso_> | But to me, this seems to be a GTK question if anything. |
| 14:08:02 | <kora9> | I just haven't found an example where someone replaces it with anything other than those two |
| 14:08:15 | <dminuoso_> | It seems almost entirely unrelated to xmonad. |
| 14:08:36 | <dminuoso_> | (Beyond a file choser probably needing a window) |
| 14:08:39 | <kora9> | I figure that there would be more people here who have done that, than there would be in say #gnome |
| 14:09:55 | <kora9> | Since the aim of it is to /not use gtk's file chooser/ |

| 18:55:06 | <mazte[m]> | <kora9> "Since the aim of it is to /not..." <- if you're into TUIs, you could always try joshuto, ranger, lf, or vimfm |
| 18:55:11 | <mazte[m]> | i use joshuto |
| 18:55:37 | <mazte[m]> | it's pretty cool and you can enable previews |
| 18:55:49 | <mazte[m]> | * enable previews (i havent done that yet) |
| 18:56:07 | <geekosaur> | I think they want to replace the file chooser dialog in GUIs, not a file manager? |
| 18:56:22 | <mazte[m]> | oh, gotcha |
| 18:56:22 | <geekosaur> | (gtk's file manager is nautilus, not gtkfilechooser) |
