It was really about reproducing the functionality that was available when Rhythmbox had the icon in the notification area rather than the indicator applet.
I keep rhythmbox running by closing rather than quitting. It then closes while the icon remains. I was just used to the notification area "standard" of toggling show/hide window by clicking on the icon (as in pidgin, lifera, alarm clock, and rhythmbox before) Not knowing the reasoning behind moving things from the notification area to the indicator application, I just feel that the indicator application loses out by not having a right-click option. The notification area use cases seam to be click for a quick action (toggle view state, show available networks) and right-click to configure or change preferences. By having the icon to show the start of the notification area you can click on that to change the applet settings rather than right-clicking anywhere on the applet. I think the indicator application could be better by having a click and a right click action. Possibly that could be a click and a double click action. It could even be that the quick action could be configurable, e.g. in Rhythmbox it might allow show/hide or play/pause, volume might be mute/unmute or simple volume change. There is also no tool tip on the indicator application (but that might be raised as a separate enhancement) I agree with the need for consistency but visually the notification area and indicator application look the same so there is the possibility of confusion between the two as they currently behave differently. What might be a compromise for me would be to alway show the icon in the indicator application like the envelop icon is always shown and then show rhythmbox would start it if it is not already running as clicking on Pidgin does under the envelop icon. If we are going for consistency I'd make it a media icon and allow each media play to have an individual sub-menu like we have for Evolution, Microblogging and pidgin in the envelop icon. I am happy to live with the new change so if you want to mark this as won't fix or investigate as possible enhancement I am quite happy. -- Rhythmbox cannot be quickly opened from Indicator Applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
