|

add cinnamon-session (present but inactive) and cinnamon-settings-daemon to Launchpad/cinnamon-translations

|
||
add a printer applet
|
||

|
||

Choose places icons for Mint-Y

|
||
Linux Mint 18.2 [Optional]
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
cinnamon features:
|
||
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())
|
||
|
||
cinnamon issues:
|
||
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 battery is very low, battery icon isn't red.. 2% charge, with less than 5 minutes to go, still not red.. bar is red in CCC, icon is red in notification.. but not in applet (and also not in the CCC icon itself either)
|
||
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)
|
||
|
||
xviewer
|
||
“Disable Dark Theme” doesn’t work, if i’m right when i assume it should do “gsettings set org.x.viewer.view use-background-color false”?
|
||
after a fullscreen-view the sidebar is gone and must be enabled manually again.
|
||
please 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
|
||
|
||
mintinstall:
|
||
UI redesign
|
||
when apt cache is missing, it just says not available. Instead it could tell the user or even help the user to refresh the cache.
|
||
redesign main page to feature essential apps
|
||
|
||
mate 1.18
|
||
swith MATE to GTK3
|
||
switch mintmenu to GTK3
|
||
mintemenu: focus issues in /var/log/syslog
|
||
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)
|
||
|
||
system:
|
||
new users: perms at 750 by default? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-security/managing-default-unix-file-permissions-with-adduser-and-umask/.
|
||
for non-english speaking people, it is not possible to change language, nor keyboard settings, when starting livemedia.
|
||
|
||
