Note on upgrading from previous versions

In this version the application ID was changed and the old application ID might still be lingering around on your disk. As a result you may have two desktop starters named “Parlatype”. In that case please delete /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.parlatype.desktop. You can also delete /usr/share/appdata/org.gnome.parlatype.appdata.xml. Your preferences were stored under the old application ID, with the new one you have the default preferences again. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Note for packagers

If your package keeps track of installed files, the following files were renamed in this release:

/usr/share/appdata/org.gnome.parlatype.appdata.xml
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.parlatype.desktop
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.parlatype.gschema.xml

Their new names are:

/usr/share/appdata/com.github.gkarsay.parlatype.appdata.xml
/usr/share/applications/com.github.gkarsay.parlatype.desktop
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.github.gkarsay.parlatype.gschema.xml

There is a new file:

/usr/share/appdata/com.github.gkarsay.parlatype.libreoffice-helpers.metainfo.xml

And the LibreOffice Helpers are now installed in

$(libdir)/libreoffice/share/Scripts/python/Parlatype.py

Known bugs

  • With Wayland, the option “Start on top” doesn’t work at all and “Remember position” remembers only the window’s size, not the position.
