I received my Pandora a few days ago. I made a list of software issues/bugs I encountered. I want to get this list out there before I learn to ignore, forget, or fix the problems myself. Even if some of these are easy fixes or just plain preference, I want to at least throw in a vote to make it work my way by default. I'm running the Hotfix 5 release candidate.
XFCE Menu:
-With the stylus, it seems to take two clicks to open a submenu. It should only take one click.
-With nubs, it sometimes takes two clicks to open a submenu. Submenus should open merely by hovering over the item.
-There seems to be more delay when opening the XFCE menu via the Pandora key versus opening it by clicking on it. If there is a delay, it shouldn't be any longer when using the Pandora key.
SD-Mass Storage:
-If I have Minimenu as default on startup, SD-Mass Storage doesn't work, even if I switch to XFCE after starting. It appears to work correctly on the Pandora, but my computer doesn't see it. If I have XFCE as default on startup, then SD-Mass Storage works fine, even if I switch to Minimenu after starting. Is there a service that doesn't start if Minimenu is default? (BTW, this theory could use some double checking.)
-I seem to have put something on my SD card that, perhaps after being run, doesn't allow my SD card to be unmounted. Would it be possible, if SD-Mass Storage fails to unmount my SD card, to have it give a list of processing that are stopping it? Maybe it could even give an option to kill the processes right there.
XFCE:
-It doesn't seem possible to hold clicks on the desktop. For example, I'm unable to drag icons or make a rectangular selection with nubs. This is odd.
-Some default applications' windows do not fit on screen. For example, the wireless network editor. This should not happen for applications that are included on the Pandora by default!
Settings:
-Many settings have sliders controlling big numbers (e.g., CPU speed). Left/right arrows should change slider by 1 at a time and up/down should change by 10 at a time.
-These might already be available, but I haven't found them yet. Each nub should have the following settings:
-Speed (I do see this)
-Acceleration
-Deadzone
Minimenu:
-There's an option to have subcategories represented as either folders or tabs. Can there also be an option to just ignore subcategories and include applications in their main category? (There would be no folders and no subcategory tabs.)
-Is there an option to show the last category that was viewed and have the last icon that was selected be selected when coming back to Minimenu?
-Would it be reasonable to have a one-to-one correspondence between the way Minimenu and XFCE menu categorize applications? Then, for example, making a change to one menu would affect the other menu.
Other:
-The minimum brightness setting is too bright. Is it possible to make the screen darker before it goes black?
-Would it be possible to have pnd files be explorable/manipulable by GUI by default?
-It should be possible to see CPU speed at all times (except when in a fullscreen application). Minimenu should show CPU speed at the bottom, and XFCE should have a CPU speed panel item. The reason for this is that I don't want to forget to change CPU speed back to 500 after setting it to 900, for example.
For anyone who's made it all the way down here, I have a request. If anyone knows offhand where to find any config files that could fix any of my above issues, please let me know their path. If I manage to fix anything on my own, I'll add my fix to this thread.
Thanks!
