LinuxPop v0.9.7

Bundled ydotool in the Flatpak so Cut/Paste/Backspace work out of the box on KDE Plasma Wayland.

LinuxPop 0.9.6

The editing buttons work in the Flatpak again

Select all, Cut, Paste, Backspace and paste-and-send all press real keys. On KDE Wayland that needs a key-injection tool the sandbox does not carry, so these buttons had been doing nothing inside the Flatpak.

They now reach the host's own injection tool the same way the terminal and file actions do, so the editing buttons behave exactly like a normal install.

Install or update

flatpak install --from https://gaimsdevsoftware.github.io/linuxpop-flatpak/linuxpop.flatpakref
flatpak update io.github.GaimsDevSoftware.LinuxPop

The .deb is attached below.

LinuxPop 0.9.5

Screen OCR feels like it used to again

The Flatpak build had been capturing through the desktop's screenshot portal, which on KDE pops Spectacle's full window plus an extra confirm step (and a one-time permission prompt). That is gone.

OCR now freezes the screen and lets you drag a single rectangle, the same quick flow as a normal install, by driving the host's own capture tool. Recognition still runs on the bundled engine, so there is nothing to install.

Install or update

flatpak install --from https://gaimsdevsoftware.github.io/linuxpop-flatpak/linuxpop.flatpakref
flatpak update io.github.GaimsDevSoftware.LinuxPop

The .deb is attached below.

LinuxPop 0.9.4

Your settings finally stick

In the Flatpak build, LinuxPop had been saving its settings, custom buttons, snippets and clipboard history into a temporary folder that the sandbox wiped every time you closed the app. That is why switching a button off (like the duplicate Google search) never held: on the next launch the defaults came straight back.

It now writes to its own permanent per-app folder, so whatever you change stays changed. Nothing moves on a normal, non-Flatpak install.

Install or update

flatpak install --from https://gaimsdevsoftware.github.io/linuxpop-flatpak/linuxpop.flatpakref
flatpak update io.github.GaimsDevSoftware.LinuxPop

The .deb is attached below.

LinuxPop 0.9.3

Install

A GPG-signed Flatpak from an auto-updating repo:

flatpak install --from https://gaimsdevsoftware.github.io/linuxpop-flatpak/linuxpop.flatpakref

New to Flatpak? Add the Flathub runtimes first:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

What's new in 0.9.3 (Flatpak)

• Screen OCR is back — bundled tesseract, region capture through the Screenshot portal (Spectacle on KDE).
• "Run in terminal" and run-command run on your host via flatpak-spawn, so your real konsole opens and the command runs against your actual system.
• Open file/folder works for any path.
• Dropped the home filesystem grant that was stopping the app from saving its own settings.
