Enhancements for future versions

Closed this issue · 8 comments

I am testing your version 3.

I have some proposals for enhancements, in case you may want to consider implementing:

  • CPU Menu / System Uptime section. A popup window showing load average like the uptime command (or top command's first line) may be useful.
  • Memory Menu. The breakdown in graph is not clear: The blue part is (probably) the Used part; the red part is Cached or what? You may want to make this configurable (besides the Breakdown toggle).
  • Memory Header. The Show Percentage toggle is useful. An addition like Show Usage (in GBs for example) may be more useful to me.
  • Storage tab. Disk names (like sda, sdb1, etc.) are OK. But, where are these disks currently mounted? A popup may show this, plus any information (fs type, usage, total size in GBs, etc.) like the df -T command.
  • Network tab. Cumulative upload/download data is missing. A pop menu for each network interface may give more information like the ifconfig command.
  • Sensors tab. In my case, the icon and the unit (A) is missing for BAT0-acpi-00 / Curr1 Input sensor.

Very interesting suggestions. Some of them are already in my TODO list.
I took note of everything missing.
About the missing icon in sensors, would you mind sharing your sensors terminal output?

The missing icon is shown with a red arrow below:

Note also that the unit (A) is missing for Curr1!


The output from the sensors command is:

@fedkad The missing Icon and Unit should be fixed in the just released version, test it out! I'm not closing this to keep track of the other requests.

Yes. It is OK in v4:

Load average added in commit b7fbb45

I think everything asked in this issue will be available in the next version I'm gonna release soon. If something particular is missing please create a new issue!

I think my Storage and Network suggestions are not addressed (yet).

But, it is OK; I can create a new issue in the future.

they should be addressed in the version about to be released, please wait extensions.gnome.org to review and approve it
