cinnamon-spices website:

|

|
||
Linux Mint 18.1
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
review logind.conf changes in:
|
||
MATE
|
||
Xfce
|
||
KDE
|
||
|
||
system
|
||
consider adding snapd
|
||
consider adding support for xdg-apps, flatpack
|
||
consider enabling recommends
|
||
|
||
cinnamon 3.2
|
||
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.
|
||
actions in panel launchers aren't translated if not present in .desktop file
|
||
add cinnamon-session and cinnamon-settings-daemon to Launchpad/cinnamon-translations
|
||
vertical panels
|
||
retire boxpointers
|
||
remove plug/socket in screensaver
|
||
applets
|
||
menu: adopt this layout (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Panacea-Projects/Gnomenu/master/Screenshot.png), same as ours/mintmenu, only better.
|
||
add a printer applet
|
||
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.
|
||
accessibility: ability to select files by hovering them
|
||
menu: use search providers to search local files
|
||
launcher: check budgie app suggestions
|
||
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, 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.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
mate 1.16
|
||
swith MATE to GTK3
|
||
switch mintmenu to GTK3
|
||
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)
|
||
|
||
libindicator++?
|
||
|
||
xed
|
||
sublime-like search bar
|
||
some icons are named and other not, for example, Open, Save and Undo are named, yet Print, Cut and Paste are not.
|
||
|
||
xreader
|
||
should place its menu item in the accessories category instead of office

|
||
xplayer/xviewer/xreader/pix

add a persistant option to blank other monitors when in full screen
|
||
|
||
xapps
|
||
should show their project name in the about dialog
|
||
|
||
pix
|
||
should use a generic name in the application menu
|
||
|
||
mintupdate:
|
||
provide a CLI (to let people upgrade automatically)
|
||
|
||
mintwelcome:
|
||
consider accompanying the user and hinting at things he/she might want to do (codecs, popular settings, popular apps etc..) - check chalet OS' startpoint ideas
|
||
|
||
mintsources:
|
||
Select all button in foreign pkgs: https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsources/issues/59
|
||
menu icon shouldn't be hardcoded
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
blueberry:
|
||
cinnamon applet?
|
||
|
||
use aptdaemon?
|
||
aptdaemon doesn't work in LMDE and is being abandoned upstream
|
||
in mintupdate, remove dep on synaptic, remove admin rights for checkAPT.py
|
||
in mintwelcome and codec menu entry, switch from apturl to aptdaemon
|
||
in mintsources, remove dep on synaptic
|
||
remove synaptic from default selection

mint projects using GTK2: mdmsetup, mintinstall, mintsources, gksu, cinnamon's mount dialog (seen when asking for a password for an encrypted external HDD).
|
||
mintlocale: fixed-size flag icons
|
||
mintupload: use icon names rather than path to SVG
|
||
mintwelcome: don't use 32px png icons
|
||
|
||
LMDE +1:
|
||
=========
|
||
|
||
bashrc: # colored GCC warnings and errors --> export GCC_COLORS='error=01;31:warning=01;35:note=01;36:caret=01;32:locus=01:quote=01' (won't work until gcc 4.9)
|

update grub (improves efi support)
|
||
history and completion in bashrc
|
||
install libhal1-flash by default
