This is a task just to indicate that a GNOME 3.32 stack upgrade is planned. Alongside this upgrade, the release of Budgie 10.5.1 will occur to support GNOME 3.30.x and GNOME 3.32.x.

And when will Solus 4 see the light of day? In the very near future, I assume, based on the fact that you're targeting GNOME 3.30 rather than 3.32 (which would be a more likely candidate if Solus 4's release were to happen months from now)? I know you guys don't really give us exact dates, but what timeframe? 2-4 months from now or something?

Regarding the stack upgrade and those before it, would it be possible to use a new Nautilus version and add a patch that reverts the commit that removed desktop icons?
Comment Actions
I'm not willing to commit to a yes or no on that until I actually review the state of Nautilus, the literal git history for removing support, and thus the viability for adding it back in.

It seems this functionality is back with gnome 3.30 (see here). So this review may not be necessary.

I don’t think that’s the case, the article just outlines the gnome shell extension that is in place for the desktop icons if I understand it correctly. That extension hasn’t even been updated with support for 3.30 so it’s useless after the stack upgrade...

I had a look at the git history and I think that it’s just one or two commits that needs to be reverted to get the desktop icons back, but don’t quote me on that fully @JoshStrobl

I saw that the ubuntu budgie project has been looking at the possibility of using this in place of nautilus for desktop icon support:

haven't tried it myself though

That isn't relevant to us. We're holding back Nautilus, because we're actually able to (by virtue of having control over the stack).

No. Gnome stack 3.32 may require some changes in budgie. As such, it will land later in the repository (see The Roadmap)

Started this last Saturday, further work yesterday. More in the morning. Hoping on landing it on Sunday or Monday in unstable, deferring next week's Friday sync to following week.
