Hi John, No problem, I've resent the patches a bit ago, so it's easier to see them, since indeed they got quite some other mail on top in the meantime :-)
I've reversed the order of them, putting the refresh limit one (that you already gave a look, but then wasn't applying) first so it's easier to apply, while the new option to be able to disable perf second. I've also updated the manpage for the second patch as I was resubmitting it, should you decide it's a good thing to apply.
Thanks! Federico

Hi John, Sorry just a "ping" on this still pending patch (or better two patches
if you agree with what I mentioned in the previous email).
Don't be afraid to ping me, I appreciate it. I think it would be easier for me if you would [re]send any pending patches so that I can either apply them, or send some feedback. This would be easier than slogging through old mails.
Thanks
John
Many thanks! Federico

Hi John, Thanks for the feedback!
This patch should be applied on the top of the 9/9 of the previous bunch
(this one:
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/tuna-devel@lists.fedorahosted.o... ) that is still pending, as I was assuming that could go in
too ([PATCH 9/9] tuna_gui: add command line option to explicitly disable
perf usage). I believe if you apply that too, then it should be fine.
In my opinion that 9/9 patch should be still useful, as it covers still
some use cases, depending what information one is after (since ie. when in perf mode you don't get context
switches or so), which cannot be fulfilled if we force always the user
to go (when automatically detected on the system) in "perf mode".
Of course if you don't agree with that one (or if applying both still
creates problems), please just let me know and I'll immediately submit a new version of this patch that
doesn't rely it, so it can be merged cleanly.
Thanks! Federico
