Made with love for the FOSS community. Please give it a try and share your thoughts.
Oooh this will be perfect for a bunch of stuff I do.
Can you create new services or do you still need to create the .service file manually?
What about .timer files?
I’ve been thinking about a “create new service” feature but I’m not sure about two things: 1.how useful it can be 2.how to implement this to actually make life easier for end users
Adding a generic template would not be difficult.
Even if the new service is “just” a text field for code + the name of the service. If it saves it in the right location for you its useful. Not having to fiddle with that stuff as an end user is nice.
Done! Chack out the latest version.
I tried it yesterday and it looks great. And I have three pieces of feedback:
- Ctrl + F doesn’t always bring up the search.
- I’m not seeing my custom services (one I made with and one without this tool)
- When making a service it would be nice to have a tool tip explaining what every line does. Though I can understand (and there is an argument for) not including this as this can simply be out of scope. (4. Please try to have it added to the fedora RPM so it can get auto updated :) )
