FAQ

Does flatpak-ed Notepadqq run as superuser?

No. It is a MATE/marco issue.

Why not a RPM package?

I already provided a repo with RPM packages.

Why I can't open any file?

Try:

  1. install the latest version of flatpak
  2. install the xdg-desktop-portal* packages
  3. install the com.notepadqq.Notepadqq as a flatpak package
  4. set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/${UID}"

How to build an extension?

Go to the extension directory, then:

$ flatpak run --command='bash' 'com.notepadqq.Notepadqq' -c 'node /app/share/notepadqq/extension_tools/pack.js . npm'

It should create a *.nqqext file.

See notepadqq-extensions for details.

How to install an extension?

  1. Select Extensions, then Install extensions.
  2. Select a *.nqqext file, then press Open.
  3. Press Install or Update.
  4. Press OK.
  5. Restart Notepadqq.

How do I find my installed extensions?

They should be available from the Extensions menu.

All extensions are located in the ~/.var/app/com.notepadqq.Notepadqq/config/Notepadqq/extensions/ directory.

How to run commands from the host?

Use flatpak-spawn with the --host option.

For example:

flatpak-spawn --host cat /etc/os-release

Are you the author of Notepadqq?

No, I only created the flatpak package for it.
