disk mounting applet #644

Open Stormfinger opened 1 year ago

Stormfinger commented 1 year ago

Expected behaviour

it would be nice if partitions could be listed vertical ..thus avoiding panell movement when there are several panells and partitions to mount.

Actual behaviour

partitions and drives are listed horizontal thus affecting and eating panel space

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

..

MATE general version

Package version

1.26

Linux Distribution

debian bookworm

Link to bugreport of your Distribution (requirement)

its request for feature

A vertical listing of partitions would not fit in a narrow top or bottom panel such as 24px, which is at or near tje default. Would have to be auto-enabled on wide panels or manually enabled, perhaps by an applet context menu item. Remember also both horizontal and vertical panels are supported

im sory but cant it be done the way sound controler is done? lets assume main panel is bottom you click on sound icon it and it brings out vertical app widget i guess it could be done same way ..

That would be a major rewrite and we are a small team. If someone wants to submit a PR for this w can test it of course.

Far simpler, it would become possible to set a minimum width for the applet in themes if a widget name were added to the panel applet or to the GtkGrid (css name grid) packed within it,a similar fix would also benefit the netspeed applet.

Also note that it is now possible to center-stick an applet in mate-panel from git master, which if done with one applet whose size changes would keep it from moving other applets.
