Description Eryk Borych 2009-04-19 03:40:14 UTC 
It would be nice to add an option to turn Bluetooth adapter on and off to the applet menue,  similar to blueman's approach. I hate this blinking :)
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2009-04-19 11:22:25 UTC 
What blinking? And there's already the ability to turn the Bluetooth adapter on/off. Which version of gnome-bluetooth are you using?
Comment 2 Eryk Borych 2009-04-19 11:48:28 UTC 
I use 2.27.4, but I don't see an option in bluetooth-applet to turn bluetooth dongle on/off there. Sure, I can do hciconfig hci0 down, but that's not the same.
As for blinking, I was actually referring to the LED on my bluetooth USB dongle, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2009-04-19 11:58:50 UTC 
I take it the device is an add-on USB dongle, not built into the machine? In which case, disabling it means unplugging it.
Comment 4 Eryk Borych 2009-04-19 12:14:48 UTC 
Not necessary, hciconfig hci0 down generally helps too (I believe there is some dbus option for that too). I was simply wondering whether it is possible to implement such a function onto bluetooth-applet too. And whether it makes sense for you, of course. Personally, I would find such an addition useful.
