@xfce can you please bring back old straightforward bahaviour when renaming shortcut (.desktop) files?
Why do I need to see this Rename Launcher/Rename File additional pop-up every time I just need simply to rename it? 😢

Seit gestern mal wieder auf #Xfce, diesmal in der aktuellen Version Xfce 4.20. Und fühlt sich an wie bequeme Hausschuhe. Besonders großartig: Ich kann eine unterschiedliche Skalierung für verschiedene Displays einstellen. Leider ist das Bild anders als bei Plasma auf dem skalierten Bildschirm nicht ganz scharf.

Congrats to the @xfce folks for all their fantastic work on #xfce420 and special thanks to all the work they have put in to libxfce4windowing (including responding to questions from us Budgie folks 😃). Lots of great work clearly went into the 4.20 release, the XFCE community should be really proud of all the contributions that made it possible.

If you're an XFCE user and appreciate their work, be sure to spread some cheer during this holiday season (if you can) with a donation to their OpenCollectives!
