  Any chance to add a free space button that empies .Trash, there?
Two great ideas!

And I agree with turning it back on.

Re: panel weirdness today

 This is a recurrence of bug 82335 I think.

maybe, either way there are plenty of bugs with similar problems, so I
think it's fair to assume they're working flat out on it.

Yelp worse after today's update (6am, 12 April, ECT)

2007-04-12 Thread Duncan Lithgow
Yelp worse after today's update (6am, 12 April, ECT)

I have Apache installed but searching the docs for Apache after
today's update to Yelp doesn't give me the manual, or anything useful.

Even worse I had hoped that todays update would solve the issue of
broken URLs for links to parts of documents - instead I'm getting very
few hits at all for anything in Yelp. (currently not online with
Ubuntu)

These issues have been reported before, but does anyone know what's
going on? yes I have beagle running as well.

Anyone understand what's going on?

  Hi,

  display it on other machines.
 
 hi,
 
 That looks a reasonable configuration to me. Does anybody objects with
 that?
But if it's working as it's supposed to then there is no reason to do
such a test. I don't need to know that my laptop is plugged into the
mains - but I do want to know if it's charging or discharging... and
that's the default situations for the icon to be shown. Doesn't work on
my laptop just now but that's another issue.

Re: Shipping fspot instead of gthumb

2006-07-17 Thread Duncan Lithgow
On Fri, 2006-07-14 at 17:55 -0700, Corey Burger wrote:

 fspot in place of gthumb.
 
 Advantages:
 1. Fspot has some nice features, like flickr integration, timelining and tags
Has anyone done a feature for feature comparison? 
 2. Fspot is actively developed, gthumb is dead
Almost, some fixes and features turned up in the last cycle. 
 3. Fspot is likely to become part of gnome (although not by the edgy
 cycle, as the author has not proposed it
So why not wait?

 Disadvantages:
 1. Fspot brings in mono, with all that that implies. Mostly it is a space 
 issue
 2. Data migration from gthumb currently does not exist (although Larry
 Ewing, author of Fspot has said he has a patch and that should be in a
 stable version during the edgy cycle)
But surely that'll be childs play to do, if some one wants to /can do
it.

 Thoughts?
1. Let the gnome crew make the call
2. Get it into the repos, so people can try it.

Re: New icons for gnome-logout dialog

 Very nice indeed. It improves the logout dialogue through smaller icons
 and perhaps the dialogue could also be made smaller as a result.
I also think these icons are great, better than the current ones.

This reminds me, why is the box holding these buttons so huge? It's way
out of scale with everything else in Ubuntu. Space is good, but I think
developers are forgetting that not everyone uses a 21million inch
screen. I've got a 19 screen and it looks way too big. And on my laptop
it's about half the height and width of the screen.
