[Bug 34889] Please re-enable mini-commander
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34889 Task: ubuntu gnome-applets Severity: Normal = Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected Comment: Thanks for your bug. We did keep shipping mini-commander for some time but got complain from upstream which really recommends to switch to deskbar applet. As you pointed auto-completion works. For the things it doesn't need to do, you can select to the properties what you want to do. The memory footprint is a bit bigger but nowhere from beeing huge, there is some discussions on the GNOME desktop list about that, feel free to read them, we don't intend to rediscuss that here. Some reasonnable extra memory usage is not enough to go against upstream decision to ship an unmaintained piece of software. deskbar-applet is much nicer, maintained, recommanded by upstream we will keep shipping it by default, I reject that feature request. Feel free to fork the mini-commander code and do an universe package if you think that's worth it though -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 34889] Please re-enable mini-commander
Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34889 Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: gnome-applets 2.14.0-0ubuntu1 disables mini-commander applet and recommends deskbar-applet instead. I dont think it's a good idea : desbar-applet is not really a good replacement for mini-commander: * it has a huge memory footprint * it doesn't auto-complete application names like mini-commander does. * it does a lot of things that users of mini-commander don't need (or they wouldn't be using mini-commander) Could you please consider re-enabling mini-commander ?
