I guess this isn't working on the latest 8.1 is it?

It works, but not in protected mode. I'll send you a screenshot in a few minutes. I'm on another computer now.

I believe Wayland is what they call protected mode yes?

Good to know. I wish it would work on Wayland though because that is my preferred method.

Yes, me too. They advised me to try recompiling it, but I couldn't do it. It seems that Wayland does not allow direct access to the desktop. I used these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential meson ninja-build git libgtk-3-dev

git clone https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder.git
cd desktopfolder
meson build
cd build
ninja




./desktopfolder


GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./desktopfolder
