# GNOME/Linux Compatibility Notes
|
|
|
|
## Current Status
|
|
VideoTools is built with Fyne UI framework and runs on GNOME/Fedora and other Linux desktop environments.
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
### Double-Click Titlebar to Maximize
|
|
**Issue**: Double-clicking the titlebar doesn't maximize the window like native GNOME apps.
|
|
|
|
**Cause**: This is a Fyne framework limitation. Fyne uses its own window rendering and doesn't fully implement all native window manager behaviors.
|
|
|
|
**Workarounds for Users**:
|
|
- Use GNOME's maximize button in titlebar
|
|
- Use keyboard shortcuts: `Super+Up` (GNOME default)
|
|
- Press `F11` for fullscreen (if app supports it)
|
|
- Right-click titlebar → Maximize
|
|
|
|
**Status**: Upstream Fyne issue. Monitor: https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/issues
|
|
|
|
### Window Sizing
|
|
**Fixed**: Window now properly resizes and can be made smaller. Minimum sizes have been reduced to allow flexible layouts.
|
|
|
|
## Desktop Environment Testing
|
|
|
|
### Tested On
|
|
- ✅ GNOME (Fedora 43)
|
|
- ✅ X11 session
|
|
- ✅ Wayland session
|
|
|
|
### Should Work On (Untested)
|
|
- KDE Plasma
|
|
- XFCE
|
|
- Cinnamon
|
|
- MATE
|
|
- Other Linux DEs
|
|
|
|
## Cross-Platform Goals
|
|
|
|
VideoTools aims to run smoothly on:
|
|
- **Linux**: GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.
|
|
- **Windows**: Native Windows window behavior
|
|
|
|
## Fyne Framework Considerations
|
|
|
|
### Advantages
|
|
- Cross-platform by default
|
|
- Single codebase for all OSes
|
|
- Modern Go-based development
|
|
- Good performance
|
|
|
|
### Limitations
|
|
- Some native behaviors may differ
|
|
- Window management is abstracted
|
|
- Custom titlebar rendering
|
|
- Some OS-specific shortcuts may not work
|
|
|
|
## Future Improvements
|
|
|
|
### Short Term
|
|
- [x] Flexible window sizing
|
|
- [x] Better minimum size handling
|
|
- [ ] Document all keyboard shortcuts
|
|
- [ ] Test on more Linux DEs
|
|
|
|
### Long Term
|
|
- [ ] Consider native window decorations option
|
|
- [ ] Investigate Fyne improvements for window management
|
|
- [ ] Add more GNOME-like keyboard shortcuts
|
|
- [ ] Better integration with system theme
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations for Users
|
|
|
|
### GNOME Users
|
|
- Use Super key shortcuts for window management
|
|
- Maximize: `Super+Up`
|
|
- Snap left/right: `Super+Left/Right`
|
|
- Fullscreen: `F11` (if supported)
|
|
- Close: `Alt+F4` or `Ctrl+Q`
|
|
|
|
### General Linux Users
|
|
- Most window management shortcuts work via your window manager
|
|
- VideoTools respects window manager tiling
|
|
- Window can be resized freely
|
|
- Multiple instances can run simultaneously
|
|
|
|
## Development Notes
|
|
|
|
When adding features:
|
|
- Test on both X11 and Wayland
|
|
- Verify window resizing behavior
|
|
- Check keyboard shortcuts don't conflict
|
|
- Consider both mouse and keyboard workflows
|
|
- Test with HiDPI displays
|
|
|
|
## Reporting Issues
|
|
|
|
If you encounter GNOME/Linux specific issues:
|
|
1. Note your distro and desktop environment
|
|
2. Specify X11 or Wayland
|
|
3. Include window manager if using tiling WM
|
|
4. Provide steps to reproduce
|
|
5. Check if issue exists on other platforms
