Description MDM 2015-06-13 19:46:07 CEST
Somehow, the "About" option that was in the right-click menu (when xfce4-power-manager is present as a panel applet) is missing in version 1.4.3. I cannot think of any reason why the developer would intentionally remove this (very) common and (highly) useful thing, so (IMHO) it must be a bug. If this was an application that was meant to be used mainly in a terminal, the lack would - perhaps - be understandable. But since this is a GUI application, why force users to open a terminal (or, I suppose, run Synaptic Package Manager and search for it, which seems even more unwieldy) just to see which version of the thing that they are running?

Again, this bug is present in version 1.4.3. It was not present in 1.2.0. Unfortunately, I do now know if it first appeared in 1.4.3 or if its debut happened in some version in between.

Developer, please squash this bug and restore functionality to your application. Thank you (very much!) in advance. And thank you for the work that you do in general.

Regards,
MDM
