I'm not sure if this is a bug per se (does it try to detect sensors, and hide the tab if none are found?) or if it just doesn't exist anymore, but looking at one of the old screenshots it appears that used to be implemented. The most recent mention of "temperature" in the changelog is from 2003. Is it intended to be gone? (Plugin version 1.5.0)
The docs mention the Temperature and Fans sensors are not used/maintained - are you willing to be a tester for this? If yes I can look into this the version after next.
Ah, I didn't see that part. I'm not sure exactly what being a tester entails, but I have been using the plugin for over a year now* so I guess I might know my way around it relatively well? If it isn't too much of an inconvenience I could give it a shot, though as far as procedures and technicalities are concerned this is my first time using a bug tracker other than github. *https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/4y3hx4/the_hardware_monitor_plugin_is_a_thing_of_beauty/ Sounds good re: all three reports by the way. Great to see this is still going, looks like next version is going to be big as it is.
Basically, I wouldn't use it myself, so its a dogfooding problem. It needs 3rd parties to actually agree that something works outside of my trivial testing for it to be worth doing etc. If you're able to compile and install from source you'll be fine. The next version will have custom per-monitor refresh rates, the ability to 'fix' the graph at either a sensible monitor max or a user-defined max, you can chart disk I/O in terms of actual bytes read/written, etc. Its not really big, but its my only C++ exposure so very obscure hard work. Supposedly a monitor's user-set max is getting corrupted when the monitor is being killed off, but there is no excuse for this as of yet. Until this is fixed, the next version won't happen.
