ok, yes, i suppose i should not have mentioned the scripts without attaching a warning.

i’m still grateful though that someone put in the effort to write 'em, because they finally solved a problem for me that i couldn’t solve for years.

i guess now it’s “the communities” turn to properly document and dissect those scripts for the larger user base.

i’m certainly not angry with whoever wrote those scripts because he didn’t put in even more effort for free.

but i do get your point (i think) and agree.

Well, jeah, i usually don’t like those too much either.

But then i just open the url and read the script line for line.

I got it running on my two kubuntu 24.04 machines using the scripts described in this video:

The process was still a bit fiddly but i got all three affinity apps running now.

.psd-thumbnails work for me on ubuntu 22.04, xnview mp 1.6.1

i had problems with alpha/transparency in thumbnails which rendered them black or broken, but i’m not sure how i fixed it 🤔

i know that’s probably not really useful 😅

bitwig studio comes with tons of samples. it’s a fantastic daw.

there’s a reason a lot of ableton users switch over to bitwig.

reaper is also very good, but a bit clunky for edm/techno/etc.

i had something similar on my kubuntu/win7 dual-boot.

iirc i fixed it by disabling the powersave of my wifi-adapter.

don’t remember the exact command at the moment though. 🤔

I was hoping for a fix for the battery drain that affects all my audio-apps (spotify, musicolet, smart audiobook player, etc.)

But maybe there’s a different reason for the drain. Hmm… 🤔
