[opensuse] Calculator???
Back in 13.1 I had a decent scientific calculator widget on my task bar. Now, in 42.2, I can only find a basic dumbed down calculator. What happened to the scientific one? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Have you tried going to "Settings" and choosing a different calculator? There are four different kinds of calculator. -- Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.

That is what I was expecting. However, all I see in settings is something for setting up shortcuts. Nothing for calculator type. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm running KDE also but there are some Gnome parts that I like better so I run them. And, before someone jumps in, Yes, it does drag in some other stuff, but I'm not in a space crunch where I can't afford the extra space used. I'm not a purist. If I find something that I like better I use it. -- Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.

Me too. Such as "gftp" - still the smartest and fastest (s)ftp-client.

I just put it in my task bar. However, why do they dumb down things? Is that a new "feature"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

do you want to maintain it? dropped things are always due to lack of manpower (I mayself had to keep on the maintenership of a small plugin I need for some work, it is nearly no work) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I am not a software developer.
me neither. but if you want something done that is not you have to do yourself or pay for somebody else. For essential things, one can ask devs, but here... and it may be very simple. In my case it was mostly question of looking to see if it worked with new version, see it did and flag it as working... jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I find some of the widgets are a little bare on settings so i tend not to use many. I'm never sure if they are maintained after a few iterations.

Thanks, i've changed the view from horizontal to compact and that seems to have sorted that problem.

after installing "calc", I cannot remember using any other. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/utilities/openSUSE_Factory/ all the small tools for the shell but it only works in a terminal (That's a "Good Thing")!tm -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
