      I see no use for the TS widget whatsoever!

      I do see usefulness for OpenVPN

      Try to explain it to a regular user what exactly the TS widget shows. Oh actually it’s running as a process, so it’s installed, but in fact it’s not connected because it failed. Try to use the same example for DNS it DHCP

      The DNS or DHCP widget green, but nothing gets resolved

      Really?

      Haha 😜

        There is NO TS Widget - there is a SERVICE widget..

            @chudak those are widgets --- do you see one called TailScale or TS Widget? NO.. Like you do for openvpn, That is why the redmine linked too said if you want a TS widget put in a feature request.

            Your complaint is like saying - why does my apple not taste like an orange..

            The service widget shows if a service is running or not running - not that said service is actually doing its function. Just that its on or off..

                @chudak dude lets just agree that you don't grasp the concept of what the redmine is complaining about and why its not a bug and move on.. You just are not getting this..

                Yes the service got added to the "SERVICE" widget.. its a service.. If you don't want to list it in the service widget then click the little wrench and uncheck it..

                But just like every service that widget shows - just says the service is on or off, not that its performing its function or not.

                  Whatever you say.

                  I’m not sure why are you trying to proof that I “ don't grasp the concept”?

                  I always test myself and maybe I don’t get it, but probably 99% of regular users will not understand your concept. And I’m not say you don’t get it. Odd…

                  Don’t be so defensive against users’ feedback

                    @chudak from this its is completely clear you not grasping it..

                    tswiget.jpg

                    There is NO TS Widget... There is a SERVICE widget.. Yes the "SERVICE" widget shows the service is running - that is all it shows.. It does not show functionality of said service. Where you say that tailscale is not running is not correct either - that says its offline.. not that the service isn't running.

                    Which is exactly what was stated in the redmine you linked too.. It annoys you because clearly your misunderstanding the whole purpose of the service widget function. Which I have been trying to explain - but your justt not getting it.

                      Hey @johnpoz

                      I like you, but stop attacking me personally trying to challenge my intelligence!

                      I gave you several examples which any reasonable person, developer or tester would understand have demonstrated at lease some inconsistencies in the way things are labelled and or show information in psF

                      You responded to none of my questions, except saying that I don’t get it.

                      You obviously disagree.
                      And that’s fine.

                        It has been explained to death, there is no dedicated TS widget. There's only a services widget that only shows installed service and their status (runnig or not running).
                        Even I can understand this and I'm just a normal user.
