Problems with plank settings app
In installed the dock plank on my Fedora 29 installation this morning, then found a python-based plank settings app. However it does not work with Fedora's version of plank (0.11.4). The settings app gives this error: (planksetting.py:6935): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:41:28.299: Settings schema 'net.launchpad.plank.dock.settings' does not contain a key named 'zoom-enabled' /usr/bin/planksetting14: line 1: 6935 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) python3 /usr/share/planksetting/planksetting.py I suspect it's related to Apples threat to Plank developers over use of the icon zoom property which the fruit company has apparently patented ??
