Alignment of Formulas  
Written by moose the 18 May 09 at 13:00. Related project: OpenOffice.org Formula. Not an idea
If you use OpenOffices Formula-Feature, you can choose three alignments: left, centered, right. But if you chose left, not only the text ist aligned left but also the numerator of fractions ist aligned left.

This is a little example. If you use longer equations it looks even worse:
aligned to left


centered

Solution #1: Change this behaviour
Written by moose the 18 May 09 at 13:00.
The enumerator and the denominator should be aligned in the center of the fraction although the fraction itself can be aligned to the left.

To many websites in Firefox history  
Written by moose the 5 May 09 at 17:59. Related project: Firefox. New
I vist / search a lots of websites in the internet. As Firfox developed the new "Awesomebar" I've been very happy because it was easier to find sites I've already visited. But the more sites I visit (and search in google) the less useful is the awesomebar and deleting something from the history is quite time consuming

Solution #1: add blacklist for firefox history
Written by moose the 5 May 09 at 17:59.
For some websites I like to have the website in the awesomebar, but not the single pages.

e.g. I want to have google, but not google searches in my history. So I'd like to add google to the blacklist. Google websites would not appear in the history.

Solution #4: never add certain status codes
Written by moose the 5 Jun 09 at 19:14.
I don't want those 404 - page could not be found - messages in my history. 500 - internal server error would be another message I would not like to have in my history.

Don't get me wrong - I want Firefox to decide with the response code weather to add it to the history, not with the title.

List of HTTP status codes

Ask for Root permission  
Written by moose the 20 Apr 09 at 12:10. Related project: Nautilus. Already implemented
There are some programs / files that need root access to use them. Sometimes there is only an alert that you don't have the rights to execute / delete / save this program / file.

Solution #1: Use promt like Synaptic
Written by moose the 20 Apr 09 at 12:10.
When I start Synaptic a root prompt asks for my root passwort. If Nautilus did the same for files I want to delete where the owner is root or gedit / kate would ask for root password if I want to save a file with owner root it would be great.

At the moment I open those programs with Alt+F2 "gksu" or in the console with "sudo" like "sudo rm -r /home/moose/.local/share/Trash/files/2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0"

Solution #2: Use the pre-existent nautilus script
Written by sanketmedhi the 4 May 09 at 14:26.
There is already a Nautilus script which allows you to right-click the protected file and select "Open as Administrator". It is just like running gksu on the file.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu
