Unusable GUI
Unusable GUI
I'm having this issue every time I open filebot. I don't even know how to describe it, so I'll let the screenshots do that. The only way I can get it to go away is by rebooting.

Re: Unusable GUI
You seem to be using FileBot in a very unique environment.
Are you using FileBot on a remote Linux machine via VNC or similar protocol?
Why not use the macOS version of FileBot on your macOS Desktop?
How did you install FileBot? Which package did you use? What does filebot -script fn:sysinfo say?
You can try to enable / disable the OpenGL render pipeline or install different graphics drivers, or generally try graphics related or VNC protocol settings and see if it makes a difference.
Please report the issue in the XQuartz community as well. They might be able to give you better debugging advice.

Great questions!

Yes, I am using it on a remote Linux ( https://imgur.com/a/a9NLkmD ) machine using x2go (and sometimes SSH) to connect to it.Are you using FileBot on a remote Linux machine via VNC or similar protocol?
Unless I can use it to edit files remotely then I think I must use it on the Linux server with all my files. It is a seedbox with 40tb of storage, and over 10tb of files I need Filebot for.Why not use the macOS version of FileBot on your macOS Desktop?
I want to note that I do have a registration key, I just reinstalled Filebot the other day while troubleshooting and did not bother put it back in for what I believe may be obvious reasons right now.How did you install FileBot? Which package did you use? What does filebot -script fn:sysinfo say?

This is beyond my skill level to comprehend on my own at this time.You can try to enable / disable the OpenGL render pipeline or install different graphics drivers, or generally try graphics related or VNC protocol settings and see if it makes a difference.
I'll do that immediatly. Thanks for the tip!Please report the issue in the XQuartz community as well. They might be able to give you better debugging advice.
Re: Unusable GUI
You can run these commands to turn graphics acceleration on or off:
Run one of these commands first to set the settings, then run filebot (without arguments) to launch the GUI to see if it makes a difference.
As a possible work around, you could use VNC instead of x2go, or vice versa, if one or the other doesn't work.
As a possible work around, you could mount your remote file system onto your local machine. SSHFS should work well if you already have SSH access. Tools like Mountain Duck should make this relatively easy.
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:properties --def sun.java2d.opengl=True
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:properties --def sun.java2d.opengl=False

Re: Unusable GUI
So sun.java2d.opengl=True made it work? I guess whatever render pipeline was enabled by default just didn't play well with your X remote desktop. Weird issue. Happy to know there's an easy workaround.

Re: Unusable GUI
It's still a little janky and I need to maximize the windows or switch from maximization to get it back to normal usable state.
But it's usable
Re: Unusable GUI
You can try these settings as well:
See System Properties for Java 2D Technology for details.
You can do filebot -clear-prefs to reset all custom properties.
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:properties --def sun.java2d.xrender=True
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:properties --def sun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false
