Re: [Bug 733349] Re: Minimize windows upon clicking on Launcher Icons
Why should the launcher suddenly hide windows? Again: because applications can not be hidden. It would be completely inconsistent, illogical and simple wrong. I don't think so: the launcher is used to create a new *window* for an application or to bring the *window* of that application up. As far I know, applications that does not have a window can not be pinned (and aren't even shown) in launcher. Mind you in any case this is more a question of terminology than an actual difference in behavior because application equals one or more windows, the difference however is that it's all windows or none, never individual windows. If we consider application as all windows of given application, yes, I agree. Anyway, I don't think the title is completly clear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Hide Applications upon clicking on Launcher Icons -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As far I know, applications that does not have a window can not be pinned (and aren't even shown) in launcher. Not only that, but the launcher can be used to *quit* an application. Isn't that completely inconsistent, illogical and simply *wrong*?

Isn't that completely inconsistent, illogical and simply *wrong*? No. The launcher is used to *close all windows* of the application. Example: open Empathy and right click it's icon and choose Quit. All windows of Empathy are closed, but *the application* still running. If you click the messaging menu, you'll see it there. See also http://design.canonical.com/2011/03/quit/ This is getting ridiculous. Well, I agree. The question here is not about terminology, but it's about the new functionality of minimizing all windows of one application when the launcher icon is clicked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking it's Launcher Icon -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
