Created attachment 140417 [details] Screenshot of issue SUMMARY When multiple items are being compared and the space to display the legend is limited, the truncation should be to the most generic element, ie. Ram, Swap, GPU1, GPU2, instead of the most specific element(Used). This is because the same property of most items is far more likely to be displayed together, whether it's to compare the frequencies of different CPU cores or memory usage of different components. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have two GPUs and some swap 2. Add the used RAM measurement of both GPUs to the memory row of the History tab 3. Observe the legend OBSERVED RESULT Legend will be(see attached screenshot): "Used X.Y GiB Used Z.A GiB Used B.C GiB Used D.E GiB" EXPECTED RESULT "Ram X.Y GiB Swap Z.A GiB GPU1 B.C GiB GPU2 D.E GiB" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: openSuse Tumbleweed (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
lol yeah. However imagine with a different type of graph where you had: RAM Used X.Y GiB RAM Free Y.Z GiB In this case you would prefer the truncation to be: Used X.Y GiB Free Y.Z GiB Rather than: RAM X.Y GiB RAM Y.Z GiB I suppose it would need to gain the intelligence to see whether there are other sensors in the same group, or if the sensors are all in different groups.
As Nate said, this is impossible to resolve since solving one case breaks another. That said, we have a new for Plasma 5.23 where you can change the displayed labels. This requires a bit of manual work, but will allow you to change what is displayed to whatever you prefer.
