Two or three things I see coming in gnome-shell
Hello, I translated my text translated from French via google, I do not know if I'm on the right list I use Fedora 16 - 64-Bit - Better management of virtual desktops Problem: When more than three windows in an office, it becomes difficult to work. In my case, I usually click with the middle button on the title bar of a window to the passing in the background. But when I have lots of windows I say, It's hassle and complicated to change the windows. Then I look back I have several offices available to me I go to work and I spread my windows on my various offices. Solution: When it was launched more than three windows, the behavior of the application launcher changes. When you click on an icon of a program, it no longer starts in the current desktop mode but remains in activity mode. This allows us then to distribute the application to the proper desktop. - Better management of the screensaver Problem: To detect when the user is not in front of his screen, the system examines the use of the mouse. But this is not always relevant, because I can very well not use the mouse but watch a video with totem. Solution Add a button to totem to tell the system that it should not start the standby screen and / or warn the user that the screen saver will launch and offer to disable the screen saver time of the video. - Better management of evolution and rhythmbox as background Problem: There are often many applications already launched and the two applications should not remain there permanently open and takes up space. Yet we need to open evolution to see if we receive new messages. And we keep open rhythmbox since we're listening to music Solution: Ensure that Evolution is running in the background but without a GUI and / or have a daemon that checks the mail. For rhythmbox, make music playback or radio is being transferred to a body that plays the songs, Rhythmbox will close but in this instance the notification area will continue to play songs. - Better device management hot Problem When I connect a new device, the system initiates a new instance of nautilus even if it is already running Solution Open the device in a new tab - Move the windows of other offices with the mouse New feature: When I move a window to the lower edge of the screen, the active mode appears and allows me to move my window to other offices - Management of Gnome 3 PC in the same LAN New feature: Allow a simple way to share documents between multiple computers under gnome 3. I right click on a document or folder, and I check a sharing option. It instantly appears on all computers in the network. Also allow to send a document to a single computer network, by right click to send.

I used to put Thunderbird and Banshee on the last/lowermost desktop and tried to ignore them. That lead to me first putting windows on the first four desktops to be able to park the named applications on the 5th one without having to switch over that desktop all the time. (Having 4 desktops in a row for regular use.) Now I cannot take advantage of dynamic creation of new desktops anymore. The new approach I use since a few weeks is starting TB/Banshee first when I login and using the auto move windows extension to have firefox and pidgin (most used applications on my default desktop) on the second desktop, which acts as the main one then. Therefore, I can still have the shell append new desktops without distracting me by switching over desktops I'm supposed to ignore. Both approaches are more workaround than elegant, so I would love a way to have applications run headless. Maybe with some kind of special indication in the dash that they are running, everything else can be dealt with using normal notifications.

You can already drag an application icon to a desktop, and you will remain in activity mode. To drag and drop, I know. But often I do not have the reflex to the different applications on different desktop. If once there is a lot of applications behavior change, it would allow me to use more often the different desktop. - Better management of the screensaver Problem: To detect when the user is not in front of his screen, the system examines the use of the mouse.

Put them on their own workspace and ignore them? Would have when the music plays and that is closed rhythmbox, there are only miniaturized the bottom right. And we can make it reappear as needed. It does not need to clutter the desktop. - Better device management hot Problem When I connect a new device, the system initiates a new instance of nautilus even if it is already running Solution Open the device in a new tab What version of GNOME Shell are you running? You should get an auto-mount notification, not just nautilus auto-started. gnome-shell-3.2.1-2 In my version, when I connect a new device. A message appears at the bottom center. When I clicked, the system gives me the device in a new instance of nautilus. And not in a tab of an instance of nautilus already open. - Move the windows of other offices with the mouse New feature: When I move a window to the lower edge of the screen, the active mode appears and allows me to move my window to other office This is hard to do for various technical reasons. But do you think is a good idea? - Management of Gnome 3 PC in the same LAN New feature: Allow a simple way to share documents between multiple computers under gnome 3.

Also allow to send a document to a single computer network, by right click to send. Yeah, there needs to be some work towards painless sharing. How it will be accomplished, I don't know.

hi, - Better management of evolution and rhythmbox as background Problem: There are often many applications already launched and the two applications should not remain there permanently open and takes up space.

For rhythmbox, make music playback or radio is being transferred to a body that plays the songs, Rhythmbox will close but in this instance the notification area will continue to play songs. Music playback does not stop if you close Rhythmbox using alt+f4 or the x and there are some extensions that allow playback manipulation through the notification area. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/55/media-player-indicator/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/54/mpris-player-control/ cheers ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

According to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651347#c5 , Evolution 3.4 should be able run headless on its own. ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

You can already drag an application icon from the launcher to a workspace to start a new instance there. But *nothing* is going to solve the issue of too-many-things-open. The ability of the human mind to multitask is severely limited. - Better management of the screensaver Solution Add a button to totem to tell the system that it should not start the standby screen and / or warn the user that the screen saver will launch and offer to disable the screen saver time of the video. The screensaver provides a d-bus API; video players and the like can disable the screen saver. I believe most of them do when playing in full-screen mode. - Better management of evolution and rhythmbox as background Problem: I'm pretty sure rythymbox behaves this way already; banshee certainly does. Ensure that Evolution is running in the background but without a GUI and / or have a daemon that checks the mail. Evolution at least spawns the address book and calendar components as background processes. -- Adam Tauno Williams http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com System Administrator, OpenGroupware Developer, LPI / CNA Fingerprint 8C08 209A FBE3 C41A DD2F A270 2D17 8FA4 D95E D383 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

Put them on their own workspace and ignore them? http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list That's what I usually do, but it's not quite optimal. The problem is that music players aren't a task. I'll call them distractions in this particular case. They break the design because it's one of those passive applications that we usually manage through media keys or through MPRIS or what not. So when they sit in their own workspace they are inserting themselves between tasks. So instead of going to one workspace over I might have to go two workspaces over and skip over dead space. The best method I've gotten is to put rhythmbox and evolution on the first workspace since it's the only one that isn't affected by the dynamic workspace management. My optimal solution for music players is to intellegently use the overview search to manage music. An app is required to manage songs, playlists and albums but execution could be done from the overview using rhythmbox as a data source. (I understand we are not using tracker directly but through the application, so I'm respecting that) Something along the lines of play favorite songs from led zeppelin or awesome songs, or album Octavarium... sri ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
