We queue notifications, they are asynchronous. In other words, it may not be displayed for some time after the app sent the message. So, we prefer to display it immediately as an alert, rather than delaying it then not knowing whether the time relates to reality or not.
Mark -- "Writing data to device" appears as fallback alert https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Canonical's Notification Display Agent: Confirmed Status in “gnome-mount” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “indicator-applet” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: gnome-mount 0.8-1ubuntu1, Ubuntu Jaunty When a removable storage device is taking non-trivial time to unmount (flushing the cache), gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device" notification asking you not to disconnect it while that's happening. Because it is persistent, Notify OSD renders this notification as a suboptimal fallback alert box. Instead, gnome-mount should use a progress window containing the warning text. It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#gnome-mount> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
