ulauncher-mpd - a ulauncher extensions that controls mpd and displays album arts

Hello! I've been using Linux for half a year now, and as I haven't found a ulauncher extension that lets me control mpd I've written myself one:

[https://github.com/codyfish/ulauncher-mpd](https://github.com/codyfish/ulauncher-mpd)

​

ulauncher-mpd enables you to control music playback and add or insert albums, interprets, songs, folders and playlists to your queue while using albums arts as icons for the different actions.

Currently, actions and default album arts do still have a stock icon from ulauncher, but that will hopefully change soon (I suck at making icons) (What is a good place to find open source icons?)

​

Note that this is my first program with a real use so the code might be messy. I would also be happy if someone could tell me if I've done licensing etc correctly :D

​

The extension is currently only available for ulauncher 4 (thus not API level 2) and is therefore only python2. You need to install a few dependencies manually using pip2: mutagen, python-mpd2 and enum

​

If there are any issues or I have done something completely wrong (e.g concerning LICENSE), feel free to tell me :D

This sub can be really toxic and unhelpful. Often responses are incredibly belittling and people get downvoted just for asking a question.

I realize this is not a support forum, but questions are not prohibited or discouraged.

Case in point:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/c2721s

He asked a simple question. He wasn't asking for support or help. Wtf is wrong with you guys?

Also the thread spiraled into elitism and anti-Ubuntu very quickly.

This is common across the posts in this sub.

I'd like to see that change.

Why would anyone use a keyboard driven desktop environment, if the applications running inside it still have to be controlled with a pointing device?

Zorin OS 15 fractional scaling

I currently have Zorin OS (Ubuntu 18.04 based) installed on my Surface Laptop. My only problem is the scaling. 1x scaling is way to small, 2x scaling way to big.
How can i solve this problem?
