Public bug reported: The current code logic is
"bool GalleryApplication::isDesktopMode() const { // Assume that platformName (QtUbuntu) with ubuntu // in name means it's running on device // TODO: replace this check with SDK call for formfactor QString platform = QGuiApplication::platformName(); return !((platform == "ubuntu") || (platform == "ubuntumirclient")); }" That makes gallery be used in "non desktop mode" under unity8 desktop sessions... ** Affects: gallery-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1477173 Title: desktop mode doesn't get enabled in unity8 desktop sessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gallery-app/+bug/1477173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
