Hi
I like the way the new GUI looks, but looks are not everything.
The task list sucks! You get one icon per application, so no dialog boxes show
up, nor do any secondary windows.
The mouse scope sucks! You can't set the amount of time to raise a window so
if you have the scope set to raise windows automaticly the dialog boxes get
lowered immediatly because the dialog box or secondary windows do not pop up
under the mouse pointer.
The file manager has weird behavior.
1) When in a directory with images the thumbnails show up, but when you double
click the image {bmp,ppm} the stupid thing says it has no image viewer or
somthing like that, but "eog" is in the right click menu, and does display the
image. If you can render a thumbnail, one would hope you could display the image.
2) The mime/application support sucks! You can not add applications or change
the defaults. It would be nice to be able to set the default action, viewer
and editor, or make alternate selections to what the defaults are.
3) It would be nice to be able to select gqview {if installed} as an alternate
viewer/explorer.
4) When moving or copying graphics it would be nice to see thumnails of the
conflicting files, so it is easier to determine if they should be replaced or
skiped.
The *sad thing* about these issues is that they were all, except the 4th issue
about the file manager but it is in gqview, available before.
Is the window manager still sawfish?
Is there a way I can get the old behaviors back without having to wait for
these to be addressed.
Guy
