don't gather packages in checkAPT as root: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/issues/379
safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages).
notice to reboot the computer when appropriate
purge old kernels? https://github.com/Pjotr123/purge-old-kernels-2
artwork:
- MyPaint and Pinta have the same icon
- grey-on-grey icons (many in cinnamon-settings)
- mint-y-icons: teal folders missing.
- slick greeter: On a VirtualBox setup with three users, if any user but the first is auto given focus, the username is present but the box only has half height, cut off with no password entry lower half. You can type where that password entry half of the box would be , and it works, but the characters don't show, so it's a visual display problem, only apparently happening on boot.
ubiquity:
/target/swapfile appears in /etc/crypttab when installing with home dir encryption, causes swap to malfunction https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1759253 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1670336
- NFS mount not visible in Nemo left menu. How to reproduce: install nfs-common, mount NFS folder.
- Even after authorize Samba in gufw, Nemo doesn’t show the local network and machine on it. I must manually type smb://user@ip to get in (after workgroup and password) In Mint 18 that was directly available.
- If the screen is rotated, then the touch screen digitiser and trackpad both move the cursor in a direction mirrored to what is expected ie move your finger to the left on the screen and the cursor moves to the right. This works properly in Gnome.
- 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...
enable recent by default, fix mem leak https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-desktop/commit/2015cc0f8a8fe46384225b0cf10df45f7d3d9315#diff-7ad95a88738c9b5cd253f469add87640
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 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
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
