Moreover, notify-OSD should have a classifying system based on importance (or priority). In fact, an application should be able to tell notify-OSD "send this unimportant notification", so in case that notification could interfere in any way the user, the notifications system won't show it or instead will show it in a different position of the screen (such as the bottom right corner, only if the notification won't be obtrusive there). For example, if the menu of an indicator is opened [and the notification would be obtusive], IMO there are two ways to handle the problem:
1 - Show it right down the menu, where it won't interfere. 2 - Wait until the user closes the menu and then show it only if it was sent as important. Here's a list of notifications I consider important: - Ubuntu One status notifications - New mail/message - Low battery ... and the not-important: - Current-Song notifications. - Network status (except for public networks and when the user is offline). Whishlist: - The ability to set the importance of notifications based on it's type. Both users and developers should be able to set the values/types. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652978 Title: Notify-OSD should be suppressed when using the sound menu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
