@jofa: "If you want to satisfy all user needs, you should make it configurable."
Yes. Why does the power indicator display have to be decreed to users? The mouse battery (along with any other battery besides the laptop) is irrelevant to me as well. By the current design, the "power indicator" on my laptop does not indicate the status of my laptop battery. While that seems like defective design to me, to someone else stubbornly displaying the laptop battery may seem like the wrong way to use a laptop. Letting users set a static display option to override the default behavior would do the trick. In any case, thanks for the patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-power in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315434 Title: Mouse with no time remaining estimate showing in preference to battery being charged Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When my laptop battery is in a charging state, but is not fully charged, I expect it to be displayed in preference to my mouse, which has no time remaining estimate. The spec here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power says: "If anything is discharging, the menu title should represent the component (not battery, but component) that is estimated to lose power first. For example, if your notebook battery is estimated to discharge in 1 hour 47 minutes, and your wireless mouse battery is estimated to discharge in 27 minutes, the menu title should represent the mouse. " but there doesn't seem to be any guideline to what happens when a battery is being charged. I suggest the time remaining to charge a battery should be displayed in preference to the power level in a wireless mouse.
