BlueProximity 1.2.1 (Nightly Builds branch) |
|
|
BlueProximity helps add a little more security to
the desktop. It does so by detecting a certain
Bluetooth device, most likely a mobile phone, and
keeping track of its distance. If it is moved away
from the computer and the distance is above a
certain level (no measurement in meters is
possible) for a given time, it automatically locks
the desktop (or starts any other shell command
wanted). Once away, the computer awaits its
master's return: if the device is nearer than a
given level for a set time, the computer unlocks
without any interaction (or starts any other shell
command wanted).

Changes:
The proximity command now only executes if
proximity is detected and not paused, not always
as before. Some tooltips should help the initial
user. Channel setting is now possible via a GUI,
and a device can be scanned for usable channels.
There are more error messages if external packages
are missing.
