Hi, I would like to hear your opinions on this matter.
Gwibber 2.30 in Lucid adds user-specific entries to the Messaging Menu when a new broadcast is received. When you click on any of those entries, the Gwibber window simply pops up, and nothing specific to the broadcast whose indicator you clicked is done. Seems a little bit... underwhelming. Gwibber 2.0 was slightly different, as it opened up the replies stream. But that made sense only back then because (a) indicators were only added for mentions, while 2.30 allows general indicators and (b) there was only one stream, while 2.30 allows multiple streams to be shown. I gave a lot of thought on it, and couldn't figure out a good solution. If the user set up Gwibber for notify/indicate anything and not only mentions, things can get incredibly noisy and an Evolution-like approach (entries per account, with unread count) sound better than message-specific entries. But if the user *did* set notifications/indicators for only mentions, then message-specific indicators sound better. And, for both cases, the same question remains: what should happen when you click on the indicator? This is particularly hairy when you consider that the user can have multiple streams being shown, and there might be intersections among those streams (ex: one stream for Twitter, other for all replies) Thoughts? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
