[06:05] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[kde]: question (in the thinking out loud tone): in controls 2.1 we started saving a db of devices which in particular keeps track of USB devices even when not plugged in.
[06:08] <OvenWerks> in 2.2 (alpha) we also save the id and bus and in fact ignore the actual device name. So we convert from actual device name to USB* where * is a number and that USB* name remains with the id/bus combo. Every time we do something we use the id/bus to find the current name and use that.
[06:10] <OvenWerks> however, when we convert things over, the USB devices are not known to be plugged in and the unplugged one get id/bus of none/none
[06:12] <OvenWerks>  I was wondering if I should just remove them.
[06:15] <OvenWerks> I think I figured it out... maybe add a clean up button
[15:22] <Eickmeyer[m]> OvenWerks: Sounds like a plan (was fast asleep when you sent that).
[15:44] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: I figured as much before I started typing... but also know that when I have a question... just asking often gives me an answer ...
[15:45] <Eickmeyer[m]> hehe
[15:45] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: however, the USB bus changes for the same plug if I unplug a device and plug it in again to the same socket
[15:45] <Eickmeyer[m]> Not surprising. USB is weird like that.
[15:46] <OvenWerks> weird == poorly designed
