#Fix and Patch

Following modification of sxmo_networks.sh hides duplicated wifi ssid's and shows the security, if you select to connect to a wifi without security, it will not ask you for a password anymore.

here is the patch:

If you tell me how to send the patch without git send-email i am happy to send it, otherwise i am sure you now how to apply.

now it does what it should, also with wifis having white spaces or emojis in its name starting on line 145 in sxmo-utils/scripts/core/sxmo_networks.sh

addnetworkwpamenu() {
	SSID="$(cat <<EOF | sxmo_dmenu.sh -p "SSID"
$icon_cls Close Menu
$(nmcli -f SSID,SECURITY dev wifi | tail -n +2 | awk '!seen[$0]++' | sed '/^--/d' ) 

EOF

}

i think there is now an issue that when you want to add a WPA network with a white space in the name, it will only take the first part of the name... to be fixed soon

Ah interesting idea - we could have a property for pin's icons.

We would need two different icons (or an SVG with fill) for each pin though as there is an 'unselected' and 'active' style (e.g. black vs red pin in current implementation).

I would accept a patch for something like this

sorry but i dont dig the coding language of mepo (failed compiling as well), but i will spend time making .svg with different styles and provide them. the most important ones are: drinking_water, shelter, picnic-sites, toilets, showers, groceries, petrol

when the ssids are too long, the security does not show in bmenu... depending on a scaling, no big deal.

i do not send a patch, the last few times i messed it up with git-mail.. feel free to add it to the code.

i am currently on the street testing this and there is the issue that the security value only show up as expected when i am already connected to a wifi

When you are in a public space like a train station, there exist several wifi access points with the same name. In the moment, sxmo shows all of them to add a wpa network. It would be enough to show it once.

Also, we do not know if a network is open or closed, which is annoying on public places.

Following modification of sxmo_networks.sh hides duplicated wifi ssid's and shows the security:

addnetworkwpamenu() {
	SSID="$(cat <<EOF | sxmo_dmenu.sh -p "SSID"
$icon_cls Close Menu
$(nmcli -f SSID,SECURITY dev wifi | tail -n +2 | awk '!seen[$0]++' | sed '/^--/d' ) 
EOF
	)"
	[ -z "$SSID" ] && return
	echo "$SSID" | grep -q "Close Menu" && return

	PASSPHRASE="$(cat <<EOF | sxmo_dmenu.sh -p "Passphrase"
$icon_cls Close Menu
None
EOF
	)"

	if [ -z "$PASSPHRASE" ] || [ "None" = "$PASSPHRASE" ]; then
		unset PASSPHRASE
	fi
	echo "$PASSPHRASE" | grep -q "Close Menu" && return

	notify_sucess "Adding connection" \
		nmcli c add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name "${SSID%% *}" ssid "${SSID%% *}" \
		${PASSPHRASE:+802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt wpa-psk 802-11-wireless-security.psk "$PASSPHRASE"}
}

at least on sway (sxmo, pmos) my position is displayed with a tiny, red, 2px square. it would be helpful to have something like the gps icon from the nerd fonts package for better visibility of the actual position.

(i know we talked about this on the channel, but i was not able to familiarize me with the code mepo is written in and therefore can not provide a patch)

as a cyclist i'd love to see where i can fill my water bottle or where i can seek for shelter. would be loveley to enable drinking water etc. as a visible overlay displayed as a icons on the map.

get the icons here: https://github.com/janbar/osmin/tree/master/resources/icons
