I wrote a tool to automate taking screenshots of #GTK4 widgets!

It took me a couple of days, but with the #Weston compositor running in headless mode, screenshots can even be taken from CI! No more fiddling with a VM and spending hours in GIMP to make screenshots in various languages for Metadata Cleaner's help pages.

It was also the opportunity to start using #gtk-rs, the GTK Rust bindings.

My first merge request to gnome-shell got merged! It ports the Extensions app to #libadwaita: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1997

Metadata Cleaner saw its first release one year ago, and in the meantime was ported to #GTK4 and got a new appearance thanks to #libadwaita!

By the way, my film scanner not working with Linux is the only reason I keep a Windows VM around

Just got some films processed, I quite like the outcome of the Washi type D and I rolls!

I have to say that of all the publishing platforms I use (Amazon, Apple, Kobo), Apple's is the most cumbersome. They require you to use two different web portals to manage and update your books.

I finally updated the covers of my French translations of Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm novels!

I'm on a release streak! I released version 2.1.0 of Metadata Cleaner, my #GNOME Circle app. It now allows adding whole folders at once and brings a few other improvements.

Just released an update for Night Theme Switcher, my #GNOME Shell extension to make the desktop easier on the eye at night!

Urgh, I just discovered some users are apparently facing a crash with one of my app. The problem is that they left a comment in their software center that I couldn't see because I use a different language, and that I have no way to get in touch with them in order to have more information about their issue :/

Just finished sewing my new #DYI backpack!

Flatpaking games from GOG. Some work fine, some insist on not using standard config, data and temp directories and instead try to write files next to the executables… But this place is read-only in Flatpak.

Apparently I managed to flatpak Wine and use it as a base app for a Windows game, and it works great 🕹️

I just released v2.0.0 of Metadata Cleaner! 🎉

This is a major upgrade featuring a brand new user interface built with GTK4 and libadwaita, a new help system and a whole set of new and updated translations.
