Lite Control Center - Suggestions welcomed

[anon222]

Where does the information for the storage come from? At least for me it kinda inaccurate.
I have a 500gb HD split into 3 partitions. 100 gb for /, 396 gb for /home and 4 gb as swap. The control center says I have 455 gb of total storage and it changes every time I plug in some any kind of storage device (SD card, USB, ext HDD ect.).

It gets all the storage you attach to your computer.

Code:

df -Tlh --total -t ext4 -t ext3 -t ext2 -t reiserfs -t jfs -t ntfs -t fat32 -t btrfs -t fuseblk -t xfs

My total number just coincides with the amount allocated to my /home partition.

Not sure how we can improve on this, needs more research. Try:

Bytes:

Code:

jerry@z800:~$ df | grep '^/dev/[hs]d' | awk '{s+=$2} END {print s}'
2408682717

MB:

Code:

jerry@z800:~$ df | grep '^/dev/[hs]d' | awk '{s+=$2} END {print s/1048576}'
2297.1
jerry@z800:~$

See what happens to the total bytes when they get converted to MB.

I'm going to post here with any changes or ideas with control center. At this time I may change button style a bit,  a video of it in action here:

This is not finalized tho, may revert back to old style.

To note changes since the last release update (1.0-0270):
- Error dialog if running more then once instance, as well as if no module data is found.
- Minor code fixes, porting to new version of python.
- Refactored how memory is calculated, this should be considerably more reliable.
- General code clean up, if any issues occur please report.
- Update count and misc scripts are removed, most of the data is now done internally.
- I may have missed something....

Nothing is finalized until it's tagged for next release, ideas are welcomed but no promises made.


Here is the screenshot:

So current stable release is now 1.0-0310, https://github.com/linuxlite/litecontrol...g/1.0-0310

The only big notable change is hiding the count when its zero... waste of space really.  Everything else seems to work as expected. Some features and ideas to come eventually when time is found. But for now this will be the next release... have fun :-p

I thought that on last up date to much text before, did look sleek.

Do you ready need number of updates in the line. Looks over crowded.

In the popup that loads shows files could that had number of updates if it's  needed.

On the LLCC ~ Desktop Tab, not sure if it's possible.??
To save some screen space, make it less busy.

Instead of having 2 items, like "Add Computer Icon" and then "Remove Computer Icon"
Could it be a "Toggle" function, "Tap to Add", "Tap to Remove"


Just a thought...

@Wirezfree, this is on the list of features to add. I had never intended for this when creating it. And it'll take some consideration before I can do it. Plus I'm getting old... shaggy is now 30... not as fast as I once was lol.

O.K...

A mere slip of a lad  ;D ;D
