support gestures to zoom
Mint tools:
mintupdate:
provide a CLI and automated upgrades
add shortcut keys
mint notices
implement rules and notification system:
dmesg errors
foreign packages if pinned by mint
wrong lsb info..etc.
slow boot sequence
slow shutdown sequence
safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages).
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!
support gestures to zoom
mintwelcome:
consider accompanying the user and hinting at things he/she might want to do (codecs, popular settings, popular apps etc..)
mintupdate:
provide a CLI (to let people upgrade automatically)
add shortcut keys
mint notices
notify of dmesg errors
notify of foreign packages if pinned by mint
mintsources:
Select all button in foreign pkgs: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsources/issues/59
mintwelcome:
consider accompanying the user and hinting at things he/she might want to do (codecs, popular settings, popular apps etc..)
Cinnamon performance:
track/troubleshoot shutdown sequence (user should know what is happening when shutdown isn't immediate)
nemo thumbnail error happens too often (too picky, does it always require root perms?)
nemo seeing RW volume as read-only and failing to write on it (in this case the user can write to the volume via command line but not via nemo)
cinnamon slow to start after boot
track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy
mintinstall:
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
Cinnamon features/issues:
implement basic global lockdown (i.e. locked by root)
add cinnamon-session (present but inactive) and cinnamon-settings-daemon to Launchpad/cinnamon-translations
mouse/touchpad: fix sensitivity settings (shouldn't be inverted... should be described as motion-threshold or even better, as what they actually do). Also, add a way to reset their value.
add a printer applet
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
menu: use search providers to search local files
review default panel layout
network applet: airplane mode (quick way to rfkill all)
menu: look-n-feel, make searchbox seemless
spices: all spices should work
hidpi setting should be in Displays, not in General
add frequency in monitor settings
mintsources:
Select all button in foreign pkgs: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsources/issues/59
mintmenu:
focus issues reported in /var/log/syslog
blueberry:
send files both ways over bluetooh
cinnamon applet
artwork:
Tray icons are black with mint-y themes.
Mint-Y themes Shade option is unavailable
mint-x-icons: in MATE (with a high panel), network status icons have a dark background in 32px and bigger. they would look much better in the panel with a transparent bg like other icons.
mintupload: use icon names rather than path to SVG
mintwelcome: don't use 32px png icons
Choose places icons for Mint-Y
isolinux splash http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=109630
display manager:
mdm:
consider moving prime support away from the logout sequence and place it fully in the login sequence
in live mode: can't log in using Mint and blank password
preselect user if only one user is present in the list
configurable slideshow
Webkit preview, process doesn't die when window is closed
Webkit preview, mint-X doesn't show anything, only background
ligtdm: experiment with implemeting a new alternative greeter
system:
ubiquity: don't set the root password
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”?

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.
R&D:
====
mintbackup:
consider using another alternative?
mintupdate:
prompt for reboot after kernel install?
nemo:
remove duplication between Eject and Safely Remove (for removable devices).
system
consider adding snapd
consider adding support for xdg-apps, flatpack

In Nemo, when I click on File System, followed by File and Properties, it gives me the details of the Home folder, not the File System, so it’s difficult to determine disk space of overall operating system.

This style of separation is onconsistent to XED, where the Tab name and content under that tab have no such visible horizontal separation line.
