Please, please, strongly consider including GTK4.10 in bookworm in some way.
The GTK4.10 release was skimming off pretty close to the soft freeze
when it was released. But this release is important because it fixes
the blasted 20 year file chooser bug with icon view in the file
chooser. And if you're on GNOME and are using
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, it uses GTK4 and that one (pre 4.10) doesn't
even have a thumbnail preview to the right of the screen making it
even worse of an experience. I only ask one of three possible things
to do:
- Backport the special fix from 4.10 to 4.8 (if 4.8 is the decided
version to go with bookworm)
- Upgrade 4.8 to 4.10 in testing.
- Use bookworm-backports to have it possible to install GTK 4.10 in bookworm.
I just ask you to put consideration into this, waiting the next 3
years for GNOME and GTK to be a more tolerable experience is something
that would be extremely unpleasant. GTK4.0-4.8 was even worse than
GTK3, it's only tolerable in 4.10.
