Re: [Ayatana] Printing progress indicator
Thanks for the pointer, Paul. I was just wondering whether printing had fallen by the wayside with all the frantic work on Natty. :) Sohail On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 3:10 AM, Paul Sladen ubu...@paul.sladen.org wrote: On Tue, 11 Jan 2011, Sohail Mirza wrote: Hello Sohail, Is there an indicator-printer in the works?

Re: [Ayatana] Printing progress indicator
perhaps ppl aren't sure if that kinda stuff would eventually go into indicator-progress when it hits the earth's surface.. if at all.. i have absolutely no idea what i am talking about here :S well wouldn't that be great? An API for Indicator-style progress visualization in the top-right-wing panel, i think many would be fond of that ;) every progress-indication-worthy process could place an icon into that container, and if there's 1 progress indicators simultaneously, a menu begins to populate itself underneath a generic operations in progress icon: symbolic app icon1 - progress information1 ( % ) symbolic app icon2 - progress information2 e.g. printing - 60 % done downloading file - 34 % done in version 2 we'd add a button show details, which would open an interactive overview in the dash, features borrowed from something like a filtered Processes view of the GNOME System Monitor.. ;) somebody's gotta do the dreamin' ..

[Ayatana] Printing progress indicator
I've not heard mention of how printing will be handled in Natty, where the panel notification tray will be deprecated. Is there an indicator-printer in the works?
