I imagine that this will only end up a backwards compatibility mode for the current instance of notification-daemon. I believe that all notification server implementations will start advertising this ability for the reasons you stated. If there are going to be sets of notification servers it would be nearly impossible for apps to keep up. -- Notify-OSD should advertise "truncation" capability https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: Fix Committed Bug description: Notify-OSD has a unique ability compared to the traditional notification daemon in that it can handle longer strings in a useful manner. It should advertise this ability to ensure that applications know whether they need to truncate the strings on the application side or the notification daemon can do that for them. I think the capability should be called "truncate-string" _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
