Roadmap
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
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?
|
||||
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.
|
||||
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?
|
||||
|
||||
make the GOA frontend an Xapp (it should be cross-DE), disable buggy/irrelevant services
|
||||
|
||||
xapps
|
||||
implement an app-sharing protocol to quickly move a document from one app to another
|
||||
|
||||
gestures support:

pinch:
|

zoom document in pix

|

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
