It seems that changing any configuration setting in GNOME Inform is impossible, as dconf is not available using default settings, e.g.:

(gnome-inform7:2): dconf-WARNING **: 19:17:11.367: failed to commit changes to dconf: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

It seems that enabling dconf requires adding extra run parameters, as per: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html#dconf-access. There's an additional example here: https://github.com/flathub/org.gnome.iagno/blob/3c77a388f309ce0df25f12d23463a95edd3279c5/org.gnome.iagno.json#L18-L20

Tested on flatpak 1.10.0 and xdg-desktop-portal 1.8.0.

Although I haven't checked its dependencies, the latest upstream code releases appear to be no longer proprietary. Perhaps the "Proprietary" license marker can be removed from the package?

The version on Flathub is marked as being 7 years old, but maybe Flahtub could base off of the the Flatpak built by them less than a year ago (haven't found the Flatpak build file yet):

Thanks for the recent update! It's making editing a lot easier for me.

I didn't report this problem before because I wanted to see if it would go away when you updated, but alas it has not. Using Flatseal, I can change the theme that other Flatpak apps open in, but it doesn't work for Inform7. I usually use a dark theme for my everyday computering, but something about the dark theme in Inform just makes it hard for me to focus, so I'd like to change it so Inform opens in a light theme.

Not sure why this weird, idiosyncratic issue is happening. Flatseal can change Inform's other permissions (that I've tried), and Inform respects my system theme, but I can't use Flatseal to change the theme it opens in? I don't get it.

I tried to reinstall Inform7, but keep getting the following error:

$ sudo flatpak install inform7 --reinstall

Any ideas on how to reinstall it?

Thank you

hi, i am running a pinebook pro mit manjaro. the perfekt gnome-inform7 device. and thanks for your flatpak offering.
the "ni"compiler is armv6lhf or armv7lhf, but it your arch is aarch86-only it does not run. I asked graham nelson, if "we" could be of any help to compile the inform blobs to aarch64. I will keep you posted, if I should get an answer.

Poor vision and a large resolution don't mix, so I have large text turned on on my computer under Ubuntu's Universal Access menu. But Inform's documentation tab completely ignores this, forcing the same (relatively small) font size no matter how high I set my scaling factor.

Maybe freedesktop runtime 18.08 works too.
