A standard Ubuntu installation with Gnome as the desktop has a starred locations option in the sidebar. That sounds like an obvious way of adding often used folders to favorites so that you can access them quickly and easily.
Unfortunately it turns out that the “starred” feature doesn’t always work as easily as you would hope. You might think you could simply right click on a folder and choose to star it from the context menu. But there is no such menu option. Some people have gotten adding stars to work by going to the list view, and right clicking on the column header to then add “Star” as a column. But even when I could add that column and see the star, I still couldn’t turn the star on for the folder that I wanted. It seems like this feature might work mainly for indexed locations.
Luckily there is another way of adding favorites or bookmarks to Gnome. Simply start dragging a folder towards the sidebar on the left. Now pay attention to a little button that appears which says “new bookmark”. If you drag the folder on top of that, it will now appear in the sidebar as a handy bookmark.
I just learned a really helpful tip regarding Linux Ubuntu. I have been missing the possibility to quickly create new files by right-clicking on a folder. With this simple technique you can create all kinds of files quickly and easily. The steps are really simple:
Open the program that can create the files that you need. For plain text files for example you can open Gedit (or “Text editor”).
Save a file with the desired format and desired default name into the Home/Templates folder.
Now you can simply right click anywhere on a folder and you have the ability to create those files.
I have been searching for a good workflow for testing out different color palettes for existing video game designs.
I have finally found a relatively pain free method of testing different color palettes and applying them to entire games. I will be making a video tutorial about this in the future, but before I get to that, I thought I would already explain the basics of the workflow.
I tested many different options for creating wordart/wordclouds online. Some of them worked well but then exporting wasn’t free. Others were a bit too simple with not much to customize. But this one is both free and it has plenty of handy customizations available: https://www.wordclouds.com/
Sometimes you have a file with tens or hundreds of lines of text and you need to wrap each line with double quotes and a comma so that it can be easily put inside a javascript array. This can happen for example if your data is rows in a spreadsheet. Here’s how you can go from a list of lines to a quoted, comma separated list:
