Okay, first try to ignore my BS, there is something wrong with me today! And second, it is true that GNOME Files hasn’t much of development the last year. And I don’t think much will happen till GTK 4 port. But one thing that can be fixed until then, is the locations auto- completion story. Very very well known story, we go on location mode and simply we don’t get places autocomplete. Then we have this merge request by James Westman, that works in GNOME for fun and experience! And so he is fixing bugs that annoy him, and everyone else really! And that was a very nice message! So going to Builder and try the merge request with a super fast Flatpak build.
00:58 - And now we get this super useful drop down with our potential choices. The implementation isn’t perfect, and James actually explains the issues, but you get the idea! .
