Hello and thank you for this new applet! As you said, it's easier and a more user-friendly solution to just enable an applet than downloading an external script and launching it at startup.
But the only goal of this applet is to provide a workaround to fix a bug in the Nvidia drivers and this is why we never add this solution in an applet... (Indeed it's better to fix the bug than having a lot of workarounds which are not so easy to maintain) On the other hand, I agree with you: this bug is known and it seems Nvidia devs will not fix it soon. We have to find a solution! Why not an even easier solution for the end user? Here we'll have a new plugin but the user will have to enable it (and we can't enable it by default, it has "a cost", it's just a workaround for a minority of users). Why not detecting the video drivers and then automatically reload the icons (or just the dynamic ones) if there is a change? We'll have to do that in the Core, a bit like the solution that we used before for the bug with the Intel 4000HD video card. **@fabounet**: what do you think about that? It will not add any new dependences, just connect to a new signal only if proprietary NVidia drivers are used. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~jgonzalezdr/cairo-dock-plug-ins/suspend-workaround-applet/+merge/233496 Your team Cairo-Dock Devs is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~jgonzalezdr/cairo-dock-plug-ins/suspend-workaround-applet into lp:cairo-dock-plug-ins. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
