After installing Tweakr I get two different behaviours: when tickbox is checked - lens cover only unlocks device but doesn't start a camera; when tickbox is unchecked - opening lens cover while device is locked does nothing, I need to unlock device, and then slide lens to get camera launched. I would rather see an three-way option for lens cover opening: 1) leave default behaviour, 2) unlock only, 3) do nothing.
  • Well... /etc/mce/mce.ini (which tweakr modifies), says:

    Code:
    # Unlock the tklock if the lens cover is opened
    #
    # 1 to enable, 0 to disable
    LensCoverUnlock=1
    Doesn't leave much flexibility, so there is little that Tweakr can do.


  • Idea of custom profile presets is great, but I'd rather see that as an on/off option, as Tweakr completely takes over Profile applet even when no presets are set (some people might see two default profiles just fine).
Delete all presets and Tweakr status menu button will disappear, giving you the good old default Profile selection button.

Also, as General and Silent profiles are hard-coded in the system anyway, it might be good idea to hard-code them to Tweakr too in order to avoid confusion between system profiles and custom presets (I've seen that suggestion somewhere earlier in this thread).
Yes, that's in my todo list

  • Personally, I think custom profiles/presets would quickly become out of scope of Tweakr app itself, I'd suggest creating separate app just for that with potential for further feature expansion (I see people already making a lot suggestions), leaving Tweakr solely for... tweaks.
  • That's a good point, and I was just thinking about it yesterday A dedicated app for the profiles will be more visible too, and could completely live as a status menu applet. I'll think about it.
