Trello Boards ============= Linux Mint 19.3: https://trello.com/b/5OfcpmZi/linux-mint-193 Maintenance =========== update mirrors update translations for installation guide advertise community website in get involved page add sum to download page directly Linux Mint 20 ============= selection: open-vm-tools? libinput-gestures? artwork: theme LO remove all sound, power, network icons in mint-y-icons/panel/ (needs patches in Xfce and MATE to stop using fullcolor in panel (for MATE power manager) and notifications) mint-y-icons: improve computer icon mate: Ctrl+alt+backspace support xapp: scroll events for xappstatusicon switch rhythmbox icon to xappstatusicon cinnamon: cs_info: Show a distro logo remove send-by-email nemo action mate: theme settings folder icons too big mint-x background too dark hidpi titlebar buttons are blurry apturl doesn't refresh system: add CLI support for foreign packages list/removal/downgrade artwork: new website theme use dark-variants for dark apps (xplayer..etc) in Mint-Y (needs fixes in mint-themes and marco: https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/pull/530) icons grey-on-grey icons (many in cinnamon-settings) review color variations in mint-y add missing yellow icons update MATE metathemes consider manjaro mouse cursor? mintupdate: safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages). mintlocale: remove language packs and packages when a language is removed software: Replace Hexchat Replace Qt5Settings? (not hidpi compatible) drawing: implement zoom simplify rotation, flip.. timeshift: show a try when a save is ongoing let user cancel save Ideas - Todos ============== https/apt: add https support for packages.linuxmint.com switch to https by default? add feature in mintsources to list https mirrors only? favorite/starred documents (nemo, xapps) fingerprint reader -> slick-greeter support https://askubuntu.com/questions/46501/why-can-other-users-see-the-files-in-my-home-folder artwork: revamp sound theme? cinnamon text-size to be configurable in panel zones? cinnamon/gtk mint-y: tooltips don't match theme help rtd security guide mate: fix terminal apps not running (gnome-terminal --> mate-terminal) mintupdate: remember sorting of updates port mintstick to python3 artwork add dark variant support to Mint-Y (needs fixes in Caja/marco) cursor theme? sound theme? bump resolution of branded backgrounds slick would be nice to show release number xapps/cinnamon/nemo: don't ship icons with generic names in /usr/share/hicolor. All icons should be prefixed (cs-, xapp-, nemo-..etc..) so they don't conflict with other packages cinnamon-settings should use gsettingswidgets from xapp and retire its own cinnamon - spices: Add a button to install a manually downloaded spice gtk windows - When in tablet mode (that is, the screen is rotated and covering the keyboard) the RotateWindows key doesn't work anymore... It just does nothing... - menu-editor: picking a pixmap in /usr/share/pixmaps for a category results in no icon being shown in the menu. - Unable to unlock the screensaver via LDAP with libpam-ldap and nscd packages installed pointing to an openldap server. - csd power: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/82af1816f32a26f28027ea7ce8edc79cd833bc76 - in HiDPI, keyboard applet, the flags is not the proper size. Hovering it fixes it. - mounted volume applet: no notification when unmounting (as opposed to when it's done in nemo). - gwl: Enable "application name" label. Open FF, open at least two browser tabs. Close FF. The label slides over the icon and doesn't disappear: https://kepkuldes.com/image/UoNHl nemo better navbar consider sping loaded folders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdUPrMjlLy8 xed: option to remember past opened-documents LMDE 4 ====== remove debian-multimedia add backports (priority 100) Roadmap ======= remove-apps prevent removal of sensitive packets (for instance, removing GOA removes cinnamon) main ideas mintsystem apt downgrade desktop-search: local files web engines recent apps dictionary translations mate: switch mozo for menulibre mintreport: dmesg errors foreign packages if pinned by mint wrong lsb info..etc. slow boot sequence slow shutdown sequence systray support mintupgrade list/address foreign packages post-upgrade implement an alarm clock cinnamon: cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded CSD: support mouse wheel speed? Evdev scrolling distance? 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) track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy todo list applet/desklet calendar events applet/desklet multiple clocks https://github.com/simonwiles/cinnamon_applets network applet: airplane mode (quick way to rfkill all) nemo: retire computer:/// place (which is completely useless) or revamp it into something better 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 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? xapps 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 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 artwork: Tray icons are black with mint-y themes. 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) system: compiler optimization: consider optimizing compiled binaries for Cinnamon/Xapps HiDPI support: upstream apps using GTK2: Gimp, Hexchat, Tomboy. R&D === system consider enabling recommends network discovery: easy out-of-the-box interactions (messaging/presence/file-sharing) over the LAN
