Or tell the system how many DPI my screens have, so fonts have the proper physical size. > What do you mean by "screen scaling"? System settings → Screens → Global Scale It uses a percent scale just like MS Winblows. But a percentage is always a comparison to a base figure. So what is that here? This is the same (IMHO stupid) thing that MS did in their settings; scaling with a percentage with no physical meaning behind it. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

Re: Konqueror for mac
Two corrections. I use Krusader, not even sure Konquerer still supported. The other is Fugu was the sFTP client I used to use, but is totally unreliable today on Macs.

Re: Konqueror for mac
For SSH I've found it's easier to SSH to the Mac than from it. There are some SSH clients and you can use the CLI to SSH out but the clients are pretty iffy at best. Filezilla the free version works if you want to dump everything in /public as that seems to be the only dir it'll allow you to navigate to. There's a pro/paid version which I'm not at all interested in. sFTP client app works after a fashion but pretty poorly. Same with gah forgot name of it. Used to be a pretty good ssh client for the Mac but no longer supported apparently. No longer able to sort dirs by date or name or reliably see files or reliably know if you are overwriting a file anymore. Turning SSH on and off is fairly simple. Got to security settings, turn remote connections on/off. You can ssh into the mac from any Linux app that supports sFTP. I use Konquerer myself usually. There are a few alternate file browser apps to Finder but I've not been especially impressed by any. Commander One is the best I've tried so far. It has sFTP support and works fine for uploading things to a web server. Not so well moving files between Linux and other Macs. I think you have to go with pro version now to get sFTP, used to be in free version. Turns out Krusader has a Mac version. I am about to try it out. If it does it has a good sFTP version built in. Apparently Krusader is part of Mac ports so that functionality is almost certainly enabled. On Wed, Jun 10, 2020 at 4:40 AM YELDA KADiOGLU wrote: > Thank you very much really.
