Committed on 25/02/2021 at 03:35. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [applet] When only showing friendly name, add full name on hover The applet has a special mode where it only shows a user-friendly name (e.g. "Speakers" and "Microphone") when there is only one device, on the logic that the full name is not needed when there is only one device because the user knows what it is, and also depending on the audio drivers in use, it can be a rather unsightly text string. However there may be times when the user actually wants to know the full name; perhaps they have forgotten which device of many they regularly use is currently connected, for example. For this case, we now display the full name on hover, so it's not getting in the way and possibly looking ugly until it's actually needed.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433476 --- Comment #2 from Riccardo Robecchi --- I do see how weird, ugly names might be bad. I myself have "Raven/Raven2/Fenghuang HDMI/DP Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI 4)". However showing them in some way can still be useful and I think that doing so on hover is actually the best solution given the circumstances! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We figured that there was no reason at all to show the full name when you only ever have one device (it was irrelevant information), and for people who periodically attach and detach devices, this is a manual action so they would know which device was in use. Part of the problem with always showing the name is that some device names are really ugly. Your device may say "USB DAC" but one of my devices is named "sof-hda-dsp Speaker + Headphones". I don't want to see that all the time. I know that hover only actions is sub-optimal, but maybe we could display the full name on hover when only one device is attached. What do you think? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
