[Bug 331843] Re: Should never use dialogues
this is by design. The apps need to be fixed to honour the actions capability of notification daemons. If you have certain apps that are affected file bugs against them. ** Changed in: notify-osd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- Should never use dialogues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The number of programs that need to be patched to use the new system is going to be very high. -- Should never use dialogues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 331843] Re: Should never use dialogues
According to Shuttleworth's post: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=265 It seems that, unfortunately, individual applications need fixing. I'm going to re-open this bug because it seems to be a severe usability issue, no matter if an application doesn't comply with the features of notify-osd. Are apps supposed to have a notificaiton-daemon version with actions, and then a version for Ubuntu without? I'm mostly talking about the software not in the archives (Gwibber) because we can't easily apply patches when the software isn't in the archives to begin with.

This is not a bug, it's just a matter of taste, many people like popups. These kind of suggestions should be sent to brainstorm.ubuntu.com where people can discuss if it's a good idea or not. ** Changed in: notify-osd (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Should never use dialogues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 331843] Re: Should never use dialogues
I'll explain why dialogues are a bad idea: * They are very annoying. * The actual dialogues are badly implemented just now. * People might think their system has been comprimised if dialogues keep popping up without their consent. -- Should never use dialogues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 331843] Re: Should never use dialogues
I can support Bruce's claims. I left my desktop for an hour and returned to find 30 notifications windows opened from Gwibber and cGmail. One could claim that these need fixed in individual applications, but within the current timeline that is not feasible. What if there was an off-by- default preference setting to show the dialogs? -- Should never use dialogues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 331843] Re: Should never use dialogues
Please don't say that the programs should be fixed to not use notifications with buttons, as this just makes the upstream-Ubuntu diff even larger. -- Should never use dialogues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
