Yes!  Jerry for the win!

Yes, I'm against snaps. TB and FF are both in deb form in 7x

Are you still planning on including a "Snap Free" version of Firefox Jerry?  I saw you mentioned that awhile back.  Snapd likes to create a lot of mount points which rubs me the wrong way...  Actually, I installed Firefox from the lite-software app on LL7 and don't see the mount points I see in LL6.6 so maybe you already implemented it?

Are you planning on making a LL7-RC2 for more testing Jerry?

Did you see the issue I had when trying to install LL7 alongside another distro in a dual-boot scenario?  Thanks.

Telegram and Etcher are both in other package forms now. TC's command works, thank you. I don't know why Snaps are used so much now.

Recently Used is now handled by right clicking on Recently Used > right click on any application > Clear Recently Used. Works on 6x too.

The command below should clear the recent array.

Code: [Select]

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-10/recent -rThe plugin is 10 on all my LL machines, but it's easy enough to check and change if neccessary. I think we should keep it in.
Also does restore the panel work?

Etcher and Telegram both show up as installed apps (according to the lite-software app) but they aren't really installed, or something strange going on.  I never used Telegram but like having the Balena Etcher app in there.  Hopefully it will be in the final release.  It shows up when you choose the  "Remove Software" option but then it says "No Application was selected for removal" if you try to remove it.  Strange.

Found 2 new bugs to fix in 7.0
Etcher and Telegram show in Lite Software, Remove Software. Fixed for the final.

I've noticed the absence of Telegram but never crossed my mind to look into the "Remove". On a fresh install, it seemed pointless.
Thanks for the info!
Etcher, on the other hand, was at its proper place. That is really strange. I installed it, just to test how the applet works.
I usually install at least Etcher and SimpleScreenRecorder. Wanted Telegram too, but since it was missing I thought maybe in the 7.0 final, would be replaced with something else.
