Maintenance =========== http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/vlc.html Implemented =========== Cinnamon: Support for HybridSleep Slick: indicator tooltips support for numlockx optional panel indicators LDAP options (hiding user list, manual login) Added option for auto login mintsources ported to GTK3 mintinstall: UI and nagivation revamp GTK3 + HiDPI User mode + aptdaemon backend speed improvements mintbackup: complete revamp user mode + aptdaemon backend revamped UI revamped threading and performance restricted to home dir always preserves perms/times Xapp window-progress now supported by: cinnamon nemo mintinstall mintstick mintdrivers mintbackup Linux Mint 18.3 =============== implement an alarm clock add a dictionary install mp3 support without codecs? remove mintnanny and mintupload from default software selection cinnamon: hidpi: consider setting default to auto again settings: ability to enable hybrid sleep ccc: wacom - when no tablet is detected, remove fugly frame around content and fix bt settings button not linking towards blueberry menu keywords: looking for display in menu shows color first consider: notifications stay on desktop until mouse is moved + a few secs reconsider inhibiting onscreen keyboards (our keyboard doesn't do locales layouts and it's quite ugly) ccc display doesn't always show screen ID windows preferences > keyboard > custom shortcuts. Used with a Spanish keyboard layout. Recorded: crtl+number and ctrl+Shift+number (e.g. ctrl+1 and ctrl+shift+1 = ctrl+!) they are recorded correctly. When using the shortcut the command defined in the shift combination is triggered with just ctrl+number (i.e. ctrl+1). The complete combination triggers nothing (i.e. ctrl+shift+1 does nothing) and the comand defined in ctrl+number can never be used. This worked in 17.3. track/troubleshoot shutdown sequence (user should know what is happening when shutdown isn't immediate) nemo thumbnail error happens too often (too picky, does it always require root perms?) cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy add cinnamon-session (present but inactive) and cinnamon-settings-daemon to Launchpad/cinnamon-translations menu: consider adopting this layout (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Panacea-Projects/Gnomenu/master/Screenshot.png), same as ours/mintmenu, only better. todo list applet/desklet calendar events applet/desklet multiple clocks https://github.com/simonwiles/cinnamon_applets menu: use search providers to search local files network applet: airplane mode (quick way to rfkill all) network applet: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2746 nemo: retire computer:/// place (which is completely useless) or revamp it into something better network applet: if possible, add a little refresh icon to ask for a new scan alt-tab and panel use icon provided by appsys, ignoring icon set by the application itself (example: a python window using widow.set_icon_name()) actions in panel launchers aren't translated if not present in .desktop file sound: add an option to switch sound to HDMI when an HDMI output device is plugged hidpi issues: top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280) gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor. Is there any reason why there are two names for the same item, eg. "Trash" and "Rubbish Bin"? Would it be better to standardise on only one name? add gnome-screenshot to panel, right-click and select "Take screenshot of a selected area". This runs gnome-screenshot -a.. it should work but it doesn't. Is it because of the panel launcher capturing the click event or something? In Nemo, right-click on "File System" -> "Properties" gives the details of the Home folder, not the File System, making it difficult to determine the overal disk space available. In Nemo, if i select a new tab, the folder name that appears in the tab appears with a separation line underneath, separating the tab name from the list of files in the folder. This style of separation is onconsistent to XED, where the Tab name and content under that tab have no such visible horizontal separation line. system settings modules should be singletons (only one possible instance) and have their window use their own icon (in alt-tab, and window list) [Michael] bg gets erased after suspend? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739178 xviewer make the position (left/right, top/bottom won’t make much sense) of the sidebar configurable (like the gallery) at least via dconf! xapps add an option to blank other monitors when in full screen in xviewer/xreader/pix implement an app-sharing protocol to quickly move a document from one app to another gestures support: pinch: zoom document in pix zoom view in nemo swipe: previous/next document in pix scroll: sound-volume/seek in xplayer click: pause/resume in xplayer double-click: full-screen in xplayer full-screen in xviewer pix doesn't rotate videos when playing them should use a generic name in the application menu vignettes should look better, and the same in all themes support prefer-dark-themes treeview in sidebar shows unecessary "(empty)" when dirs have no subdirs mintwelcome: consider accompanying the user and hinting at things he/she might want to do (codecs, popular settings, popular apps etc..) mintupdate: mint notices implement rules and notification system: dmesg errors foreign packages if pinned by mint wrong lsb info..etc. slow boot sequence slow shutdown sequence safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages). notice to reboot the computer when appropriate kernelwindow: make kernel series column desc-sorted and select the active series mintdrivers: microcode package description is misleading in driver manager, should it be removed? mate 1.20 sound events vs sound themes multi-monitor: caja doesn't always show the desktop on the primary monitor (using a laptop as main/left monitor, and HDMI screen with higher res on the right, it surprisingly ends up showing icons on the right screen) Right-click on the desktop -> No templates installed system: for non-english speaking people, it is not possible to change language, nor keyboard settings, when starting livemedia. implement a crash-intercepter compiler optimization: consider optimizing compiled binaries for Cinnamon/Xapps kernel 4.8: screen rotates 90º counter-clockwise automatically. artwork: Tray icons are black with mint-y themes. Mint-Y themes Shade option is unavailable mintwelcome: don't use 32px png icons Choose places icons for Mint-Y mint-x-icons: network status icons have a dark background in panel 33px and bigger (sound icon looks wrong in 41px and bigger). mint-y The maximize/restore window control button doesn’t change visually between in maximized and restored state (default theme and Mint-Y-Dark) xplayer: add CD+G support wrong aspect ratio http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=114543 remove xplayer-mozilla xreader: History buttons confuse users (they think they're Next Page and Previous Page buttons) synaptic: window titled “Could not download all repository indexes" is way too tall on a 1366×768 laptop screen kde: SDDM stays in autologin after OEM install R&D === mintupdate: prompt for reboot after kernel install? nemo: remove duplication between Eject and Safely Remove (for removable devices). system consider adding snapd consider adding flatpak consider enabling recommends review logind.conf changes in: MATE Xfce KDE ubiquity: inhibit sessions via libxapp (need to do it in KDE too) firefox: enable bookmark toolbar by default enable plugins by default libindicator++? client-rendered icon/menu (ala libindicator) support all the features from GTK statusicon (tooltips, left/right clicks etc..) use aptdaemon? aptdaemon doesn't work in LMDE and is being abandoned upstream in mintupdate, remove dep on synaptic, remove admin rights for checkAPT.py in mintwelcome and codec menu entry, switch from apturl to aptdaemon in mintsources, remove dep on synaptic remove synaptic from default selection remove synaptic from mintmenu's favorites network discovery: easy out-of-the-box interactions (messaging/presence/file-sharing) over the LAN windows compatibility layer: seamless wine integration HiDPI support: upstream apps using GTK2: Gimp, Hexchat, VLC, Pidgin, Tomboy. mint projects using GTK2: gksu, cinnamon's mount dialog (seen when asking for a password for an encrypted external HDD).
