GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 98019
Nicer devices treeview
Last modified: 2011-11-11 10:03:55 UTC
Here is a patch that adds some usefull eyecandy to the devices treeview of gnome-system-monitor. Here is how it looks like: http://www.wh-hms.uni-ulm.de/~mfcn/procman.png. I know it's already feature freeze, but it's not a big change and should be really stable, so it would be nice if this could get into gnome 2.2. A patch against the anoncvs-version of today is appended.
Created attachment 12169 [details] [review] The patch mentioned above
Created attachment 12264 [details] [review] this patch is a improved version of the above. The icons are in the same row as the name now, and I added sorting in all columns
BTW: apply the patch on a cvs checkout with patch -p0 < procman-nice-devicetree.patch
Unfortunately feature freeze means feature freeze. I think this looks great though, look forward to seeing it in 2.4. Changing to GNOMEVER2.3, adding bugsquad

Created attachment 13837 [details] A screenshot of the new patch
sometimes df (and gnome-system-monitor too) command displays strange results: aukselis:/var/cache/apt/archives# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 5424660 5148152 948 100% / Total space - Used Space > Available free space (542466 - 5148152 = 276508, not 948) I think this is because ext2 file system can reserve some space for user-user, see mke2fs manual: -m reserved-blocks-percentage Specify the percentage of the filesystem blocks reserved for the super-user. This value defaults to 5%. Because of this, GNOME-System-Monitor should add comment '(for user)' to free space column header, I think
Finally commited! Thanks Jörgen! I made some small changes by removing the "free" column and putting the used space and the meter in the same column. Otherwise I think there are too many columns and information displayed in the small space. Thanks again. It looks really good.
