detect missing l10n packages and hint at mintlocale

notice to reboot the computer when appropriate
purge old kernels? https://github.com/Pjotr123/purge-old-kernels-2
2017-12-13 13:36:59 +00:00
systray icon or infobar to notify user of new Mint versions
2017-11-10 13:30:54 +00:00
system:
compiler optimization: consider optimizing compiled binaries for Cinnamon/Xapps
2017-09-11 10:47:01 +01:00
cinnamon:
cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded
2018-04-13 13:14:50 +01:00
enable recent by default, fix mem leak https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-desktop/commit/2015cc0f8a8fe46384225b0cf10df45f7d3d9315#diff-7ad95a88738c9b5cd253f469add87640

nemo:
Skip GVFS when possible
2017-09-21 15:36:03 +01:00
Performance issues:
File operations:
Mouse-cursor lag
Loading views:
switching views is slower than reloading them
existing thumbs are loaded asynchronously
loading is slower than with ls (could be Gvfs, could be the way we render view in GTK. For 25k elements, 0.4s with ls, up to 6s in icon view for Nemo/Caja)
2017-10-02 12:09:20 +01:00
video thumbnails are blurry

Roadmap
=======
2017-09-21 15:36:03 +01:00
mintreport:
dmesg errors
foreign packages if pinned by mint
wrong lsb info..etc.
slow boot sequence
slow shutdown sequence
2017-05-23 15:58:58 +01:00
implement an alarm clock
2017-08-16 14:11:50 +02:00
2017-05-09 10:57:04 +01:00
cinnamon:
2017-11-10 13:30:54 +00:00
CSD: support mouse wheel speed? Evdev scrolling distance?
2017-06-26 12:58:09 +02:00
menu keywords: looking for display in menu shows color first
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.
2017-05-09 10:57:04 +01:00
track/troubleshoot shutdown sequence (user should know what is happening when shutdown isn't immediate)
track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy
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
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
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?

2017-06-19 16:10:18 +02:00
mint-x-icons: network status icons have a dark background in panel 33px and bigger (sound icon looks wrong in 41px and bigger).
2017-06-26 12:58:09 +02:00
mint-y The maximize/restore window control button doesn’t change visually between in maximized and restored state (default theme and Mint-Y-Dark)
