242ApplicationFeature RequestMediumPressing SHIFT + any key in sequence creates the modifi...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description ISSUE ENVIRONMENT: If you hold your Pandora in your hands, you only have your thumbs for typing, hence your typing abilities are quite limited. It is hard to press more than 2 keys, and hard to press 2 keys on the same side, as your second thumb does not reach the opposite side all too easy (except you have a basketball player's hands). The modifier keys Start/ALT Select/CTRL Pandora/(META, I guess?) are in the middle of the keyboard, hence the can easily pressed together with another key. But SHIFT lies at an ergonomically problematic side (left boundary). Hence hard to press with other left side keys. SUGGESTED SOLUTION: I suggest that Pandora OS offers an optional and configurable input help. [1|2|3 presses | hold for duration x] SHIFT [timeout y] [modifier key 2] [timeout z] key Produces the same result like SHIFT + modkey2 + key Very likely modifier key 2 and timeout z are not necessary, as you can trigger the SHIFT hold (by your defined action), and then press the modifier key 2 and the other key at once, as the other modifier keys are laid at a central (ergonomically better) position.
243ApplicationFeature RequestMediumMiniMenu: Pressing successive character keys should com...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description Imagine this tab content: Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore. CURRENT BEHAVIOR: Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs". DESIRED BEHAVIOR: That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder. In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches.
250ApplicationFeature RequestMediumFile Browser Thunar - Trashing file crosses filesystem ...Researching
30%
Task Description Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem! This is very inefficient and faulty as it is: a) Very time consuming b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume.
253ApplicationFeature RequestMediumSwitch GUI: Intelligent automatic choiceUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description If only 2 GUIs are available, skip the user selection and switch right into the only other GUI. What else would the user want?! Right! If more than 2, already set the focus in the GUI list to the next possible item.
307CoreFeature RequestMediumChange how Automatic Shutdown worksUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When thee Pandora is shutting down because its almost out of power, it should check to make sure that the nub inputs are set to the default mode (which is mouse movement for the left nub and mouse buttons for the right nub). If not, it should change them to be like that.

Task Description Hi there, Many games depend on sdl-perl. Perl and sdl are part of the base OS, but not not the connection between the two. Cheers, sebt3
123Base OSFeature RequestLowSuggestions for the Pandora-ButtonNew
0%
Task Description My suggestion instead of a full menu, would be to have a tiny overlay over the current running application which allows you to: - relogin (to close all running applications) - quit (stop the active application) - shows the last notifications / toaster messages which you missed while being in a fullscreen app. - possibly even something like plugin support or icons to check out the wifi-strength etc. from fullscreen apps. Implementation wise this could possibly be done using - a topmost window and the same content rendered in screenspace in a GLES hook (which should draw over most applications) or - one of the DSS2 overlays maybe It's definitely something to consider as it was requested on the forums a few times (~"xbox like menu in games").
217ApplicationFeature RequestLowAdd Mounting and unmounting context options for PND'sUnconfirmed

Task Description It'll have to be in the SKEL. /etc/skel/Applications/Settings/Thunar/uca.xml People can replace the contents of their current uca.xml file with the following to gain this functionality now. /home/[USERNAME]/Applications/Settings/Thunar/uca.xml Terminal Open Terminal Here exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator Example for a custom action * emblem-symbolic-link Mount PND /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p %f -m && thunar /mnt/utmp/ *.pnd;*.PND gtk-jump-to-rtl Unmount PND /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p %f -u *.pnd;*.PND
238ApplicationFeature RequestLowQuick key access to OK in dialoguesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In many GUI dialogues the default action button (OK, ACCEPT, YES, …) cannot be triggered with a simple key press. Pressing ENTER triggers the element which has focus (usually the first dialogue element), but not the default action, as most computer users would expect! MY WORKAROUND MEANWHILE: Press ALT plus the underlined letter of your desired action. But that's not very convenient as the underlined letter needs to be looked upon first, as the button label can differ from situation to situation (ACCEPT, OK, YES, …) and then 2 keys need to be pressed. SUGGESTED SOLUTION: The custom of many operating systems should be adapted on the OpenPandora as well. SPACE triggers the currently focused element (whatever that may be: list item, radio button, checkbox, etc), and ENTER triggers the default action of that dialogue. Or even better use the Pandora specific A/B/Y/X keys cleverly in those dialogues/selections. I don't know whether there is a standard functionality assignment within this key-group, in MiniMenu "B" is start/confirm, I do not know of any other standard assignments yet.
239ApplicationFeature RequestLowMiniMenu: New option: Grid stop horizontalUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description I am suggesting the new option "Grid stop horizontal" for MiniMenu with the following possible settings and their effect. Yes -> If the boundary is reached the focus remains there. No -> If the boundary is reached the focus starts at the opposite side again. Jump to next/prev line -> If the boundary is reached the focus jumps to the next/previous line and the opposite side.
240ApplicationFeature RequestLowMiniMenu shall return into full screen mode (more quick...Unconfirmed
0%
Task Description If you set MiniMenu's option "Live (not exit) on app run?" to YES, and you quit an application and return to the still running MiniMenu, it runs in windowed mode, and takes about 2 seconds until it goes into full screen mode again. This delay should at best be not noticeable at all, at most 0-1 seconds.
244ApplicationFeature RequestLowInclude man and the manpagesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description The command line environment of the default OS does not include the command "man" and the respective manpages of the installed programs. I personally often use manpages, as I hardly remember the syntax/arguments of all programs I use. Having them would be very convenient! EVALUATING NEEDED STORAGE AMOUNT Some may argue that storage space is quite limited on the NAND. Yes I agree. Hence the number of included programs is limited too. Hence it would not be all too many manpages. When I press TAB into an empty Terminal prompt, I get 1406 possibilities, which is about the amount of available commands/programs if we ignore aliases, etc. Multiply that with an average of 20 kb per manpage, and you get about 30 MB in total. With compression this could possibly be brought down to 15-20 MB. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS A) Store into the NAND the manpages of core OS CLI programs only, and not all the library/system/etc documentation. B) Include only the man command into the core OS, and compile/configure it in such a fashion, that it finds the manpages within non-NAND media (SD card, USB volume, etc). b1) Specify that it simply looks into a certain path within the /media/*/pandora/ structure. b2) Or offer PND packages like man-core.pnd, man-extended.pnd,... you get the idea or even man-custom.pnd (which would look into its appdata or a certain path for custom added manpages, to somehow get the b1 approach within the PND approach).

Task Description a) Host multiple volumes at once. b) Select one for hosting first, later host additional ones. (I guess this scenario is more complicated)

0%
Task Description If the power cable is plugged and the user chooses "Shutdown Pandora" from a menu, there should be a warning that this is without purpose, as the device will automatically restart. The resulting user choices should be "Cancel shutdown" and "Shutdown nevertheless".
288CoreFeature RequestLowadd functionality to inputrcUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description Since the default inputrc doesn't contain any functionality (simple cli movements like ctrl-left or crtrl-right to skip words don't work) this diff may be useful to add to the cli-experience. I've also been trying to get the delete-key to work, but this is apparently already a known issue (see FS#227). I can remove this from the diff if you want. (I couldn't attach a file to the task somehow) 31,32c31,33 < # "\e[3~": delete-char < # "\e[2~": quoted-insert --- > #"\e[3~": delete-char > "\e[^?": delete-char > "\e[2~": quoted-insert 44,47c45,50 < # "\e[5C": forward-word < # "\e[5D": backward-word < # "\e\e[C": forward-word < # "\e\e[D": backward-word --- > "\e[1;5C": forward-word > "\e[1;5D": backward-word > "\e[5C": forward-word > "\e[5D": backward-word > "\e\e[C": forward-word > "\e\e[D": backward-word
327CoreFeature RequestLowContext menu for the XFCE menuUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Right now. the XFCE menu handles right clicks like left clicks. It would be more logical to either not do anything on a right click, or open a context menu that e.g. lets the user generate a link to an application on the desktop.

0%
Task Description .desktop files only include the English stuff right now (using the .desktop default tags.) Be nice if in addition to 'title', we also include 'title[de]' type extras, whatever is in the PXML.xml pnd_pxml_t includes all the goods, but pnd_disco_t has only the summarized english stuff.
105ApplicationFeature RequestVery LowNubs feature requestNew
0%
Task Description The 'Nubs' application needs a setting for deadzone. Using the nubs in First person shooters the nubs trigger in directions when not even touched. An adjustment for deadzone would eliminate accidental movement caused by vibration. Also, application profiles for the nubs would be very useful. Different apps use the nubs in different ways and it would be great to not have to go and change settings before launching each application.
106ApplicationFeature RequestVery LowAppData corruptionUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description The appdata folder was corrupted on my SD card from an unclean eject this made the folder read only until i ran a repaired it. MiniMenu still displayed all my PND files. When clicking to launch the app would try to load crash and then return to MiniMenu without any visible error. This was pretty confusing and i thought it might be a good fix for a troubleshooting guide.
156Base OSFeature RequestVery LowAsk to format SD CardUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description When I have received my Pandora, I got an SD Card but it was not formated. I didn't have any card reader so I didn't now what was wrong (the Pandora or the SD Card). When an unformated SD Card is inserted in the Pandora, it should be nice to ask if we want to format it.
261CoreTo Do (Reminder)HighOverview of all current KEYBOARD INPUT related issuesUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description Built-in keyboard input is a central thing on the Pandora, as it concerns almost all user interfaced apps! I realized that I myself and also others submitted quite many reports concerning this issue. Hence this meta issue is intended as an overview/accumulation/aid for those devs who are willing to overwork the whole issue. If you realize new related issues, feel free to add them here. If this my effort is contradicting the OpenPandora workflow, then pardon me, and instruct me, how else to handle issues of that kind. Thanks!

30%
Task Description Should make up a simple zenity script tool .. - backup -> pick SD -> backs up current user's homedor to SD. (tar.gz format so permissions can be kept; not cpio/etc, too annoying for user.) -> keep rolling, or just one copy? - restore -> pick SD -> pick user -> confirm -> wipe home and restore with version from tarball? (or just unpack in-place, so existing new files are kept) -> prepare SD -> pick SD -> mkdir /pandora/menu and /pandora/desktop
