You know Cory, if you are curious you could (and to improve the testing of this patch, should) just try it ;]
I want to add in here that I REALLY agree that whatever I select in my power settings should be what happens! I am really not liking this emerging trend of applications saying "well I know you have set your power settings to do A on lid close/power button press/timeout/etc, but actually I know better than you and instead am going to do B! ha ha ha!" If I push the power button, I want the computer to do whatever I have it set to do. Not tell me it won't because music is playing. However, I like the idea of a plugin to deny this, and I think it makes sense here, but not as default behavior. For users who set their laptop to suspend on close, I can see where they might want it to not suspend if music is playing, and a plugin for the music player seems like a good way to accomplish this. Because of that this sort of thing shouldn't be disallowed entirely as Cory suggested, just non-default. If a user wants it to not suspend, they should be able to enable the plugin and not have that be ignored. -- Hardy rhythmbox stops screen from blanking on laptop lid close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
