[community] Forum Scout — multi-forum search tool

Xfce4 forum had a problem, but it is possible now.

Edit ~/.config/forum-scout/forums.conf

Add xfce4 wiki

{"name": "XFCE4",     "type": "ddg",       "url": "https://forum.xfce.org/",                   "color": "#ea580c", "on": false, "group": "wiki"}

Artix forum this way

{"name": "Artix",        "type": "ddg",       "url": "https://forum.artixlinux.org/",       "color": "#c6b9d8", "on": false, "group": "wiki"}

In a future release this will be added to the default.

In the discussion section of Github I will add more forums when i find them. Or add one yourself to share. Linux Arch related.

Checkout v0.6.2. (QT)

Thanks for the bug report.

A question. Do you mind to create some scrots of forum-scout (qt).
I like to use them for the github readme. ; )

Awesome. Thanks!

Sure! How’s this…

I will probably ask again when v0.6.3 is out.

Testing new request and bug fixes.

FYI:

Fixes based on feedback

  • Columns now auto-size to fit content — fixes squashed dates on large fonts / HiDPI
  • Bookmark ★ now survives topic renames — matched by topic ID, not slug
  • Autocomplete suggestion dropdown no longer pops up over search results after pressing Enter

All is well with Forum Scout Qt v0.6.3.
