Re: A Redesigned GNOME Software is in the Works – and it Looks Great!

Looks great! Just one thing: Search is extremely important. It's front and center in so many places. But here it's hidden away. That's bad UX, IMO. Just switch the tiny search button in the corner with a search bar over the main image on the front page, and I'd be very happy with this new look and feel!

This is great stuff! Thank you!

Just one thing: The link "Global health sites mapping with Healthsites" should go to healthsites.io, not to the GitLab page of rhealthsites, which is just a client the most nerdy of us can use to interact with healthsites.io ;)

What about contributing your computers processing power to help the effort through BOINC / Rosetta@home, isn't that worth mentioning? https://www.reddit.com/r/CO...

Re: GNOME 3.32 Gives Users More Say on What Apps Can Access

Great stuff!

I would love it if this new applications panel could also gather some statistics on how long you've used each application. I thought that was what "usage" meant, at first. The podcatcher I use, AntennaPod, has statistics for time spent listening to each podcast, and I love that feature.

Think also of how you could use this with some sort of "self controll" application to help yourself to not spend too much time gaming or somthing like that. There are browser plugins for this, why not have it system wide, if you want?

All of this should happen locally, of course.

Re: ‘Snap Install Mailspring’ for a Better Email Experience on Ubuntu

Børge / forteller — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 19:41:28 -0000

Sure, I'd like to help. But I have no idea what forum you talk about. Give me a hint?

It could just be because I have a very slow and unstable internet connection at the moment? But then again Joe Sneddon says it happens to him too. And other things autocomplete, but I didn't test that until now, and as I said, unstable connection, so it might just be better at the moment. If I uninstall, so I can check again whether "mailspring" autocompletes or not, will I keep my settings in Mailspring?

Why doesn't the snap install command in terminal let me autocomplete "mailspring" when I write mailspr and press tab? I'm on Ubuntu 17.10

Exactly this! This jumping around annoys me every time I use Sushi, and it's been like that as long as I've had it. Gnome is very good at design and aesthetics and a smooth user experience in other areas. They need to do that here too, or else it's almost better to remove the whole thing.

HBO Nordic still uses it. And also the second largest tv station in Norway, TV2. It's crazy.

They should've also asked "Do you prefer default, Dash to dock or Dash to panel?", IMO. Personally I love how the default is out of your way when you don't need it and rigth there when you do. But this is not about my preferences, but should be about what will make Ubuntu a good alternative to Windows and Mac for most people.

Re: Which Apps Would You Like to See as Snaps?

Børge / forteller — Fri, 12 May 2017 10:35:44 -0000

After having tested ~100 DRM free games from Humble Bundle and finding that most of them either didn't install or was a real pain to install (to the point where less nerdy people than myself would probably not be able to do it) – a project you where kind enough to write about here on OMG – my greatest wish has to be that Canonical works with Humble to have snaps as a standard for all their games.
