[Goodies-dev] Any reason for removing most existing features? - xfce4-cpugraph-plugin version 0.4.0

[gatopeich]

Hi Liridiel,

According to the Changelog you just removed all existing graphic features/modes, including the ones I recently added:
2007-11-22  ludovic mercier  <lidiriel at coriolys.org>

	* panel-plugin: Split code in several files, cleanup and 
	refactoring code. Remove timescaling, remove *BSD code, remove 
	fire color and frequency modes.
	Add bar graph for each cpu core.
	Add grid view mode
	Add associate command (default is xterm top) Any _solid_ reason for that?

Usually, features are removed if they are not useful.

Particularly, I find the log-time-scale and frequency-shading features very nice. I don't need just another boring cpu monitor... That's why I made the effort to integrate them seamlessly within the existing application, without breaking anything. Then, I made my dear features *optional*, to leave the user the choice. Get where I am going?

Also you seem to have changed everything around. Maybe you intend to actively maintain the applet in the future, do you? Otherwise it is not very wise to turn things the way _you_ like it.

I hope to be wrong, but this seems to me like you felt like making *your* CPU monitor *the* CPU monitor and just pushed *your* code in, bashing aside anybody else's.

I would advise to revert the thing, work a little bit in integrating your features with the existing ones, then submit atomical changes, each one representing a single logical step instead of a big bunch of mixed changes.

gatopeich.-
