--- Comment #380 from Frederick Zhang <frederick...@tsundere.moe> --- @Nate Thanks for working on this issue. Here are my 2c: On desktops, most users are going to have relatively stable setups that seldom change. In this case, mapping by port or serial number should be both ok. On laptops, there are many different scenarios. For users of laptops with GPU switches (not things like Optimus but BIOS level switches) and eGPUs, it makes more sense to use serial numbers since port names are going to be very unreliable; for users that carries laptops around and frequently connect different external screens to different ports (e.g. a university lecturer), I don't think mapping either by port or serial is going to work well, but I believe what users generally want here is one containment for the internal display and another for the external, and avoiding having orphaned containments in Plasma's configurations. So I actually think the missing piece here is a UI that allows users to manage containments and map them to currently connected screens. And Plasma should probably avoid creating new containments where possible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
