Hello, we have a couple of patches that should be ready to be reviewed by tomorrow, which solves several issues with the UI of network devices.
#6944 UI confuses which AP you are connected to #3993 The color of network icon in Home view becomes white after restarting Sugar. #2866 Network Manager GUI doesn't report success or failure #6995 Add a mesh device to the frame and remove mesh devices from Neighborhood view The tickets are a little confusing, so let me summarize what the patches does: 1 Adds "IP address" to the mesh & wireless palettes, with associated changes to their model classes. 2 Removes the "Disconnect" or "Turn On/off" entries from the wireless/mesh palettes. 3 Makes both frame icons pulse. 4 Don't show the mesh icons in the mesh view, instead show them in the frame. 5 Fix some iconsistency in the icon states by cleaning up the code. mtd did quite a bit of testing on them already, but they are pretty invasive and there is some risk of regressions. My opinion is: 2 is controversial and should be left as is for 8.2 1, 5 are important and we should try to get them in. 4 would be nice to have but I don't consider it essential. 3 should be delayed unless it's small and it's easier to take it then to refactor patches. 1,3,5 has been submitted for review as patch A. 2, 4 will be submitted today as patch B. My suggestion would be: * Rip off 3 from patch A if it's worth it and land it for 8.2.0 (before Friday) * Do *not* land patch B for 8.2.0 mtd has some free time today, so if we can let him know what we want and don't want to land soon it would be great. Thanks, Marco _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
