The JSON catalogs belonged to the old shell-based Big-Config and are not read by the GTK application. big-config becomes a symlink to the real launcher instead of a byte-identical copy. Extend .gitignore so build output, caches and editor backups cannot return to the repository.
- ui/metadata.py is the single source of the version (2.0.0) and lists Rafael Ruscher and Bruno Gonçalves as the authors and developers. - biglinux-config --version prints the version without a display. - Startup errors printed before GTK loads are translatable. - PKGBUILD: fixed pkgver=2.0.0/pkgrel=1, source pinned to the v2.0.0 tag of the canonical repository, real runtime dependencies (dconf, glib2, hicolor-icon-theme; xdg-utils was never used), minimum GTK, libadwaita and Python versions, test suite in check(), and precompiled bytecode for the root-owned application directory. - AppStream: 2.0.0 release notes, developer, provides, translation domain, display and input requirements.
Real profiles exposed export failures that the tests did not cover: - Absolute links into HOME (Discord Flatpak, Steam) made every export fail with "close the application". They are now stored as relative links that point at the same file after a restore. - Links that leave HOME are left out and listed in the result instead of aborting the whole backup; sockets and pipes are skipped. - Chromium/Electron SingletonLock/Socket/Cookie markers are never saved: they describe a running process and a restored copy makes the profile look in use on another computer. - When HOME is reached through a symlink, every reset and export was refused as "outside your home folder"; ~ now expands to the real home. - Exports that the importer would reject (file > 4 GiB, > 16 GiB total) fail before writing, with an explanation. - has_skel() uses the same plan as the reset, so the UI never offers a BigLinux default that the reset would refuse. Registry: shell history is no longer deleted by "program defaults", the XFCE reset keeps the GTK 3 bookmarks shared by all GTK apps, Steam backs up its settings and userdata instead of the installed games, and GNOME Boxes no longer tries to archive virtual machine disks. Category icons exist in the Adwaita theme. Tests: every test now runs with a private HOME/XDG tree and without the session bus; dconf tests refuse to run outside tools/check-dconf.sh; the process-matching test works when /tmp is mounted noexec. Regression tests cover each fix, and registry tests check that every reset path is covered by the safety backup. Dead helpers and aliases were removed.
- One app_image() helper replaces four icon loaders: missing theme names fall back to a generic icon instead of GTK's broken-image placeholder (DE icons on Adwaita), and Flatpak icon files now show in the export list. The success badge uses an icon present in Adwaita. - File icons in the restore dialog use GIcon fallback chains. - Logging out after a desktop reset reports failures instead of doing nothing, uses budgie-session-quit (budgie-session --logout does not exist) and checks Budgie before GNOME. - Opening the file manager reports launch errors. - Reading a backup manifest can no longer leave the dialog spinning. - Export: localized names, select-all reflects partial selections. - Translatable strings with several arguments use named placeholders so translators can reorder them. - The grid scrolls to the top when the category changes; has_skel is evaluated once per card, not on every hover. - Screen readers get the selected category. - Removed the unused ToastOverlay, getattr fallbacks, toggle_search and other unused widget API; the launcher is a single exec.
- tools/i18n.sh regenerates the template from the sources, merges every catalog without fuzzy guesses, drops obsolete entries and compiles the .mo files; --check fails when anything is stale or invalid. - Existing translations of the strings that gained named placeholders were migrated in all catalogs, so none was lost. - New strings are translated in pt_BR, pt and es; en mirrors the source. - Placeholder PO headers were filled in, so msgfmt --check is silent. - Tests pin the C locale, check named placeholders in pt_BR, and verify that version, URLs, desktop entries, launchers, README app count and catalogs agree.
The workflow only forwarded webhooks: nothing was tested, and curl without --fail reported success even when the token was missing or rejected. tools/ci.sh now runs the test suites (including isolated dconf), validates translations, desktop entries, AppStream, shell scripts and the PKGBUILD, builds the package from the exact commit with the release PKGBUILD, checks it with namcap, installs it and starts it. The same script runs locally with podman or docker. The BigLinux build dispatch runs only after these checks pass, is skipped with a notice when the token is not configured, and fails on HTTP errors.
- README describes the 2.0.0 application as tested: features, real installation paths (BigLinux repository or the PKGBUILD on Arch), requirements, usage, safety, Flatpak, translations, development, releases, troubleshooting and authors. Badges carry the real version, application count and number of translations; tests keep them true. - New screenshots rendered from the application itself with BigLinux's /etc/skel defaults in a throwaway HOME (no personal data), in light and dark style, optimised to 185 kB in total. - docs/SAFETY.md keeps the lasting technical content: scope, reset and backup rules, archive limits, transactions and manual recovery. - AppStream lists the screenshots of the v2.0.0 tag. - PKGBUILD: epoch=1, because the previous date versions (2026_10_02) sort above 2.0.0 and pacman would never upgrade to it; pango is a direct dependency. The Favorites category shows a star, the import dialog writes paths as ~/..., and the export privacy banner sits in the toolbar as libadwaita intends.
… thread Every category change decoded each Flatpak icon file synchronously: about 120 ms on the GTK thread for 55 cards. Registering the Flatpak export folders with the icon theme lets GTK load the icons lazily and at the right scale for HiDPI; populating the grid now takes about 15 ms. tools/i18n.sh --check now ignores source line references, so editing code without changing strings no longer fails CI; a new or changed string still does.
On a noexec mount os.access(X_OK) is false even for a 0755 file: check the launcher's mode bit instead. The process-matching test needs a private executable; when no candidate directory allows execution it is skipped with that reason rather than falling back to the shared /usr/bin/sleep, which could match unrelated processes of the user.
Line numbers in the catalogs changed with every code edit and rippled through all 33 translation files. File-only references keep the diffs of the catalogs to real string changes.
GitHub artifacts reject ":" in file names, and the epoch puts one in biglinux-config-1:2.0.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst.
