Linux Mint 19.3
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
favorite/starred documents (nemo, xapps)
|
||
|
||
https/apt:
|
||
add https support for packages.linuxmint.com
|
||
switch to https by default?
|

add feature in mintsources to list https mirrors only?
|
||
|
||
system:
|
||
add CLI support for foreign packages list/removal/downgrade
|
||
|
||
artwork:
|
||
new logo
|
||
branded backgrounds
|
||
splash screens
|
||
isolinux/grub menu
|
||
new website theme
|
||
use dark-variants for dark apps (xplayer..etc) in Mint-Y (needs fixes in mint-themes and marco)

icons
|

grey-on-grey icons (many in cinnamon-settings)
|

review color variations in mint-y

update MATE metathemes

mintupdate:

safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages).

timeshift: after restoration and before reboot, run hooks (could be used to adjust grub menu)
|

|
||
Ideas - Todos
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
consider brisk menu
|
||
fix terminal apps not running (gnome-terminal --> mate-terminal)
|
||
|
||
mintupdate:
|
||
remember sorting of updates
|
||
have an option for update manager to initiate a timeshift backup prior to applying upgrades?
|
||
|
||
port mintstick to python3
|
||
|
||
mintreport:
|
||
detect missing l10n packages and hint at mintlocale
|
||
warn about root password if not set
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
xfce:
|
||
consider backports https://blog.xfce.org/
|
||
|
||
cinnamon
|
||
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
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
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
