Title: An "alt_text" hint should be introduced Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: notify-osd introduces icon-only notifications. Since no text is supplied, there is no way of determining the non-visual meaning of these icons. Often, it could be derived from the "synchronous" hint (like in brightness and volume), but the text supplied by "synchronous" could be arbitrary, and there is no guarantee that the icon-only notification will supply the "synchronous" hint at all. Potentially, the alternative text could be determined from the supplied icon file name (assuming the file name has real meaning). But this is not always the case since direct pixbufs could be sent to notify-osd with no associated file name. In any case, the Bubble class does not currently store the file name after the icon is rendered to a pixbuf. Besides being hackish, and error prone, the two methods above do not provide a means of localization for the utilizing applications. That is why I propose the "alt_text" hint. For example: notify-send " " -i notification-audio-volume-medium -h int:value:75 -h string:synchronous:volume -h string:alt_text:Volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/334272/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
