[Criticism / Feature request]Options should default to no or ask the user #6

Closed Marc-Pierre-Barbier closed 2 years ago

Marc-Pierre-Barbier commented 2 years ago

If i understood the code properly, this extension accept question envycontrol ask by "y". but some options such as fullcomposition pipeline can have a negative impact on latency in game. and i don't believe that enabling coolbits should be the default behavior.

A temp fix would be to replace "yes" by "yes n". But it's not a real solution.

A better one would be to add a way of choosing which options we want. asking the user can be done using a config file and a pop-up.

Hi, I think you are right, it should be up to the user to choose which options enable and which disable. I think the best way it is to implement a setting panel editable from the gnome extension manager. Since I'm busy in this period, I would appreciate a lot if someone would like to do a PR. For the moment, I mark this as Requesting Feature.

Hi! I just implemented the settings view for the extension. So now you can access the settings by the gnome extension manager and set whichever flags you prefer for each mode.
