RE: Bluetooth My choice would be split between Blueman and Bluenberry. I like both and I would go with Blueberry because it's simpler. If disagree pls speak up. Maurizio Galli (MauG) On Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 12:25 AM Carlos E. R. <robin.listas@telefonica.net> wrote:

May I ask, what is wrong with Ristretto, which seems to be the Xfce desktop's standard image viewer?
I'm very familiar with Shotwell, and it is not a photo viewer. It is comparable to digikam, but with less features.
I think you are sort of making my point for me, although you don't realise it.
I don't own a digital camera. I have not owned one for years. About a decade. I don't use a film camera either.
I just use my phone.
Pix was unable to connect to my phone.
Replacing Shotwell with Pix will make photographers think that XFCE can not cope with photos properly.
But most users are not photographers. I submit that these days, most people just use their phones, and all they need is maybe cropping and rotation, and that's it.
And not adding comments to the photos, or classify them? with tags?
The preferences menu has a setting to display both, but they don't display. I have restarted Pix after the change, and now it is taking a very long time to come up :-?

As you can see, PIX has consumed by now 5.8 GB of Swap. Low end computers, you said?
Ok, it finished now, and each photo displays the date it was taken (I guess it was scanning the tree). But not the comments or the tags.
Xfce is a lightweight desktop, often recommended for older/low-spec computers.
That doesn't mean that it has to be used on low-spec computers only.
Xfce has an image viewer. I don't think we need either a GNOME image viewer or an Xapps one. And I don't think we need a photographer's photo-management tool by default.
I am not saying Ristretto is as good as Pix, or that either can replace Shotwell. I'm saying that Xfce includes an image viewer app and isn't that enough?
As long as you say that XFCE will include an image viewer called Pix, I'm fine. As long as you don't try or say to replace Shotwell with Pix :-)
What about Bluetooth?
Er. Um. What *about* Bluetooth?
Well, what is the current status to connect a bluetooth headphone using XFCE GUI tools? Because on 42.3 I had to use the CLI, the GUI toolset used previously inherited from Gnome no longer worked on XFCE, something changed on the Gnome camp (intentionally, some said, to block XFCE out).
I have not tried yet on 15.0; hopefully this night.
I activated something called "blueman applet", and from that point I get asked at login twice for the root password. I have photos of the dialogs:
Configuring networking requires privileges (with BT logo) Setting Rfkill state requires privileges.
