From 048102f21ad3783f64c4996704b07a13a010fd19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Ser Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 08:25:59 +0000 Subject: xdg-output: make xdg_output.description mutable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The output description is a human-readable text describing the output. Unlike the name which uniquely identifies the output, it's intended to be displayed to the user. It might be desirable for a compositor to update an output's description. For instance, when only one output is plugged in, it's not necessary to dump make, model, serial and connector to the description, something like "Dell U2717D" is enough. However when two identical outputs are plugged in it's necessary to add e.g. the connector type to tell them apart ("Dell U2717D on HDMI"). See [1] for a discussion about this. This commit bumps xdg_output's version to allow compositors to update the property.
