The Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment

Release pcmanfm-qt 2.2.0

The LXQt team announces the release of pcmanfm-qt 2.2.0. The release can be downloaded from Github.

Main changes:

  • Better drag-and-drop on Desktop, without displacing neighboring items as far as possible.
  • Workaround for a case of wrong wallpaper size on Wayland.
  • Support custom options for terminals.
  • Better tab sizes, for preventing small tab texts from becoming elided as far as possible.
  • Prevented going up when Backspace is kept pressed inside the transient filter-bar.
  • Handled Wayland screens by using their names and stopped using “primary screen” on Wayland because Wayland doesn’t have the concept of primary screen.
  • Allow string replacement in bulk renaming, and show the bulk rename dialog again on failure:

Bulk Rename Tool

  • Added context menu items for opening the containing folder in search:///.
  • Removed an old X11 workaround under Wayland.
  • Replaced qMin,qMax,qBound and qRound with standard functions.
  • Set fallback icons to support more icon sets.
  • Added Ctrl+Shift+NUMBER as the shortcut for changing the view mode.
