GCS: Notify when a reboot is pending (due to settings changes)

Open tracernz opened this issue 8 years ago • 7 comments

Add a notification and reboot button at the bottom of the config widget to advise when a reboot is pending due to config changes. This should be a big win for a common newbie frustration.

@tracernz It would be very useful. This involves other widgets besides Board and Modules?

Off hand just the hardware settings and modules UAVOs, there are probably others too.

We could add a property on UAVO fields "requiresReboot", that when changed and stored a reboot is flagged required. hardware settings, modules, and RGB LED count are definitely some.

Yes, that could work. Maybe a messagebox when you hit save asking if you want to reboot.. or just set an icon on the reboot button if we want less intrusive/annoying. I think I prefer the latter.

I was kinda thinking something down next to the telemetry widget, so it "follows you".

How about instead of uavo fields in UI, something that the uavogen understands? Easy to add a tag <applyingRequiresReset/>

Yes, that is the right place to add "requires_reboot" information.
