Can't remove pulse replicants.

[kvdman]

On dual processor machines (or greater), when you start Pulse and drag out a replicant for the processor to the desktop, there's no way to remove it besides deleting tracker_shelf and restarting.

Not so useful... but attached anyway.

Can drag a replicant into the deskbar, but cannot remove it. Cannot right click, does the same as left clicking (does it 'disable' a CPU core? not sure of the effect :).

[umccullough]

Shouldn't this be considered a bug?

[axeld]

Indeed.

I could fix it quite easily, but it involves having the dragger icon into the green square. It's not really pretty but if nobody finds a better solution, I could submit the correction.

[humdinger]

I have of course no idea how it's implemented and if my idea is at all possible...
Right now, the CPU buttons are exactly the size of the green buttons. Could their views be enlarged with a transparent background to have enough room for the Replicant dragger? Like this:

Now:  _______
      |     |
      |  1  |
      |_____|
             O
Then: _______
      |     |
      |  1  |
      |_____|
      |////O|

"O" being the dragger, "/" the transparent part of the enlarged view.

Yes, this is possible now. One has to use code similar to ActivityMonitor or DeskCack in order for it to work.

Hi, should be fixed in hrev35110. Comments welcome.

Looks like you forgot to include string.h in CPUButton.h.
After replicating, the CPU number isn't quite centered in its button. I did like the former, smaller buttons better, but I'll get used to it. :) Thanks!

[humdinger]

Oh, and the About... menu of the Replicant says "CPUButton" instead of "Pulse". :)

That point is fixed in hrev35116. Thanks!

For the size of the replicant (when used on the desktop for example), I could make the dragger a little bit closer to the button, a bit like it is on deskcalc, where it overlaps the button's border.. do you think it would be better?

The more compact it gets the better. But only if it isn't too much work. It's really only a small issue. You've fixed the important thing, having the Replicant removable. :)

[stpere]

Could you try hrev35138? Thanks

[humdinger]

Very nice! Thanks Philippe!

It looks like this bug is valid again. I just dragged two replicants of CPU buttons into Deskbar, and cannot remove them now. I'm using hrev43238

fixed in hrev44243.
