Looks very good, but as mentioned in a previous comment, it doesn’t save the content of folders which makes it impossible to use for hierarchical structures.

Comment on Extending the month to infinity by TheBic

Hello, firstly a huge thank you for your time and love to this. as an amateur developer, I know how much time and dedication a project like this consumes. “Kudos”

I’ve been using calendar for, oh, since way back when and my first Ubuntu and I am absolutely wedded to it. I appreciate the way I can colour code and separate business appointments from everything else.

I also like the one moth at a glance view, so I can see my entire month ahead of me – scary, but necessary.
So I was a bit surprised to (finally) upgrade my O/S and to find Calendar now scrolls – endlessly. I’ve had to downgrade to an earlier Debian – 13 I think to go back to the “original.”

Reading the comments, clearly, this is a hit with many people who need to see more than the current month, but I always found the weekly view and appointments outline enough. To me the scrolling version is a bit cluttered and the demarcation ‘tween months is confusing.

Not too sure where I will go when Deb 12 is finally at EOL

I usually use the Sysprof capture APIs, it’s a lot simpler (just use the functions) and doesn’t require kind of memory or object management

inspired by your posts how sysprof is making profiling so much better, I tried to add marks to the bluefish syntax scanning code. The scanning code runs for every keystroke in the editor, so this is one of the most performance sensitive pieces of code. I unfortunately found that integrating sysprof is mostly undocumented….

I tried some code from the example/ directory in sysprof, and even my very first attempts already fail (sysprof_capture_writer_new_for_env() keeps returning NULL, also when I start the application from within sysprof). Can you write a blog post how to begin integrating profiling with sysprof?

(b.t.w. I’m using the version as provided by the Ubuntu package)

I actually tried to understand the accessibility landscape so I could find somthing to contribute to. Unfortunately I failed to create a mental map of what projects exist, which of them need help the most and what improvements are needed. eg I found AT-SPI project but I still can’t quite place it in the ecosystem.

I would love to collaborate in creating such a ‘onramp document’ for new contributors.

Thanks Georges for writing this blog post! Accessibility support in GNOME is getting better (and I am very grateful for this), but there are still some very rough edges and bugs like the following one:

In reply to Andrew.

Matt Campbell who does AccessKit made a new architecture that wasn’t finished. He also ported GTK4 to AccessKit (credited to Emmanuele Bassi here)

From what I’ve heard the funding for that is over so it’s not happening. Maybe one day?

I read somewhere that in the last year or so, someone had started a new accessibility architecture but that the implementation is incomplete. Is there any interest in finishing that project and having Gnome eventually adopt it?

I’m encountering a couple of issues such as contents of folders not being saved once you leave the folder and using the button to switch profiles not working
