@reporter - it's an interesting idea, but how would you handle the case where there are multiple apps? The user experience is best when they can confidently predict how the system will react to a click or an action, how would you provide that certainty in this case?
-- indicator applet is worse than pidgin status icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Indicator Applet Developers, which is the registrant for Indicator Applet. Status in Indicator Applet: New Bug description: Using indicator applet for opening the newest message requires 2 clicks: 1 on the indicator applet, and 1 on the name of the person sending the message. I do not want to look for who sent me the message when there is something new. I want to click indicator applet and be brought to the new message immediately, without menu navigation. I recommend that indicator applet immediately focus the new event when clicked, as long as there are events from only one program. This would emulate a good notification icon for pidgin and email clients, pidgin showing the new conversation window when indicator applet is clicked with new pidgin events, and email client showing the new message when clicked. What happens: When clicked with new events, indicator applet presents me a menu which clearly has only one (interesting) option to choose from, the new message. What should happen: When clicked with new events, indicator applet should immediately bring me to the new event without forcing useless menu traversal. Conditionally this could be done only when there are new events for only a single application. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
