There is a problem, the translation doesn't work in this case. |
|
For now let's use QKeySequence, we'll worry about translations a bit later (will have to update them too). |

dupeGuru is a remarkable program. It works today May 20, 2020 wonderfully in WIndows 10. SAD and IRONIC, this excellent (once linux) program NO LONGER functions under Ubuntu 20.04. |

@David-FullStop what does this have to do with this pull request exactly? What is not working in Ubuntu? Please create a new issue and report the details. |

Apología, after signing up and verified, it was not easy to get back to the
exact spot that folks were using.
Since you are the Guru for the excellent dupeGuru, I perhaps left my
message to you. Again, a thousand pardons on form. Moving from Win to Linux
over the last three years.
I had hoped to stop always having to have recourse back to Windows 10
simply because some very good programs work there with no better
alternatives in Linux.
I am not yet competent to rewrite code, recompile and all those other
lovely crafts.
I simply want to get jobs done. Work that gets paid. My clients really
don't care what kind of pencil or software I use. MS doesn't really care
either. Canonical does not know me either. I respect them all.
Only in the Linux world is one endlessly asked to get into the wondrous
craftsmanship when instead of becoming a carpenter one simply wants
comfortable functional furniture.
So there is this GREAT software that was born in Linux, and today works
well in Windows 10, but NOT in the current world of Linux. SAD.
Ah but WAIT! Is there better than dupeGuru for Linux?
No.
So the Linux open software movement certainly produces pearls but that
marvel sometimes throws away diamonds.
I use Linux because I admire its Erector Set nature to cut an excellent OS
down to highly efficient and tailor it to a purpose.
Sometimes I need a special utility like dupeGuru to reform clients files.
I'm big into cluster systems that use little Linux systems to grind away at
large data sets. Linux can be configured to not choke at such tasks.
Windows is a different environment. But dupeGuru "just works" there, but
not at all in its birthplace. Of course, from admiration that is
frustratingly sad.
No, I have deliverables to clients. So no, haven't responsibly the time to
find the right compiler and learn how to make the results work in a large
cluster. So we do what we have to do with just a few very powerful Win PCs
then leave many orders of magnitude larger processing to our Linux
clusters.
I admire what you do. Nothing better than that but we solve client
problems.
I don't expect you to think of folks like us as your clients. That's OK.
All the best,
David

@David-FullStop I do appreciate the feedback. Packaging and testing on Linux is an area of this project, which is currently lacking manpower (thus why a ~30 day old release of Ubuntu still has issues). In order for issues like this to have better visibility, it is normally best to submit a new issue or find an existing issue which represents your issue like #484, #620, or #637. You will be pleased to know that there is an open pull request (#665), which aims to help resolve one of the existing issues with Ubuntu 20.04. |
As per #641 add missing shortcut description to the mark selected action.
Technically this is not the description but an actual shortcut (setup by createActions(), and according to PyQt5 documentation SetShortcut() can take a string).
However, the spacePressed event is what is actually called, so either the QAction's shortcut doesn't really work here, or they are both called (which doesn't seem likely since marking seems to work just fine still).
