[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
Now that there's an Ubuntu-Gnome distribution, the patch should be reverted so that Rhythmbox works as expected in Ubuntu-GNOME. And stock Ubuntu should fix Rhythmbox by having a rhythmbox-unity package or something like that. There's no reason why GNOME users shuld suffer from Unity's behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 Title: Window close should close, not quit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/38512/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Isn't this properly fixed in intrepid? AFAIR (I am not using ubuntu right now - since I am not on my PC) rhythmbox has now no icon by default.

Definitely a bug or inconsistency in my opinion. As mentioned something like Pidgin, if I select close or click the x it just minimizes. Rhythmbox seems to be the only app that goes against this.

[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
In my opinion, there should be consistency among all gnome apps, so the default should be not quitting but closing, for reason that I longly explained. If I have to resort to a preference, I personally don't care if it's a plugin or a hidden setting or whatever: I will be able to choose what I want. I don't care on how the option is presented because if it's not the default it is useful only for us hackers/nerds/whatever. My concern is for new users who will _not_ care or be able to hunt for a setting, and just experience and enjoy an inconsistence between the following installed by default applications: pidgin, networkmanager, tracker- desktop-search as started from the tracker notification icon, AND rhythmbox which behaves differently. Not to speak of the applets which sit near the notification icon (e.g. gnome-volume-manager). All the colored icons in the upper right corner of the screen (as I might describe them to my mother on the phone), THEY ALL, open windows when clicked in various ways, and all these colored icons DON'T DISAPPEAR when that window is closed. Rhythmbox is the only exception. I have my plugin, I can set my own preference, fancy if I care anymore - expecially because my mother does not listen to music. I might say that, forgetting any attention I might have for other ubuntu users, I am happy with the current situation. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just to be constructive I could add that a different _proper_ solution to me seems the following: just don't have a notification area icon by default.

Sebastien, As you said, developers are free to do what they want, but this does not mean users are not allowed to complain when they believe developers are wrong or are behaving in an unprofessional way.

The bugreport has been very constructive until 2 years from start. Then, since there was no feedback from rhythmbox developers, I asked very politely what was planned for this bug, since the fix were there for such a long time (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318629#c28).

why should people who are hobbists and working for free should behave in a professional way? To avoid unnecessary attrition with the users. To have constructive discussions with the goal of improving the software under development. To avoid negative energy as you called it. In my opinion these are very valid reasons. I agree some users crossed the line with some caustic comments, nobody ever denied that, but if you check again the whole bugreport you'll see that discussion and good sense had been ignored for years.

Sebastien, I'd like to address some of your comments: could everybody stop comment spamming this bug? the default will not be changed because some vocal users decided to add lot of comments there I don't care about the default, I care about having an option. We are vocal because the option is easy to include in rhythmbox and we don't se a rational reason not to provide it for the many users who would like it. - the notification area is not made to have applications staying there that's not what a lot of other application developers think and for sure is not what I am used to and lots of other users are used to. Rhythmbox is the exception, and does not offer choice. - consistancy is good, but do you have many applications not closing when you close those? that's rather pidgin and the reboot notifications which should be changed if they are not consistant in the default installation As I said, at least for the applications I use, Rhythmbox is the exception. When I have an application with a persistent icon in the notification area, I identify the application with the icon, not the window. When I close the window, I expect to close the window, not quit the application, like with all the other similar applications I have. - seems that users will not agree on that so the best way is probably to have a plugin available to change the setting, that's where recent comments are going It is obvious to me that when different users wish different reasonable behaviours you offer choice, that's what made a lot of people vocal about all of this story.

Sebastien, - launchpad is a distribution bug tracker and people who read your comments are packagers and bug triagers, not people who writte this code Since from upstream it is not clear if and when at least the plugin will be released I just asked for a fix included in the distribution package: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/38512/comments/35 - you will not convince people who are working for free on the code and trying to fix your issues by being vocal or rant, quite the contrary If you check my posts here and on the upstream bugreport you can see that I have never ranted, I said that rants are not justifiable but are understandable. Also, the code is already fixed, the plugin is there. - the issue is usually that people working on free software projects are really busy so better to be constructive and try to give a hand on the changes As i said the plugin is there since ages: it is not a problem of being busy or not having time. working on code changes to have an option is a constructive behaviour there rather than complaining about other contributors The plugin is there since ages, it just has to be included with rhythmbox, that's not the problem. The problem is in my opinion convincing the rhythmbox developers of the wrong attitude they are having, as I tried here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318629#c44 I think I have been constructive in that post, if you disagree please be specific about it. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am sorry that I took it personally, but you replied to me talking about my strategy so I inferred you were discussing about my personal doing. I agree that flaming and ranting will lead to nothing. I also agree that developers are free to do what they like, that's why discussion is the only option in this case. The fix is there, what lacks is convincing the developers it's worth inclusion in rhythmbox. I agree that being aggressive is not a good thing, but it is understandable given the history of this issue. I've to admit I also have difficulties to get why users go in flame mode for such a detail, clicking on the icon is not that hard, is it? I've to admint I also have difficulties to get why developers go in flame mode for such a detail, adding an option is not that hard, is it? Not to mention that I am used to have this behaviour with all my other applications with a persistent notification icon and it is difficult to remember oh, this is rhythmbox, don't do what you usually do, instead do something completely different! when you are clicking away your window. For sure it is annoying, but probably you don't understand this because you have different habits. The fact the problem for you is irrelevant does not mean it is irrelevant for everybody else. By the way I agree that this should be fixed upstream with an option somewhere. Lacking this, including the patch in ubuntu is better than nothing. Also, the idea of the common behaviour for GNOME is nice, but let's say that they decide ok, all the applications should behave like A. All the users who like the behaviour of application B will be disappointed when it gets changed to behave like A. Of course if you reverse it it is the same, users of A will be disappointed. I understand there are cases in which it is clear which is the right way, but this is not, since a lot of different people seem to know a different right way: I'd say in this case, stick with a default coherent behaviour and give choice to the user who wants a different thing. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
As has been pointed out right at the top of the thread, GNOME has very clear rules and guidelines about how applications should behave in order to fit in with the rest of the environment: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/ Currently, Rhythmbox violates those guidelines, as clearly described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/38512/comments/12 This thread is getting very vocal about what people do and do not want, and whether there should be defaults, or options, or plugins. However, the above should be all that is necessary to decide whether or not the behaviour should be changed. That said, how should Ubuntu react? People seem to want them to push out a bugfix update right now, but that just should not happen. Read the guidelines on when one can push a Stable Release Update: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates There are very good reasons why we wait for the next version of Ubuntu before pushing some updates - this one is too trivial to warrant a distribution update. So, while I wholeheartedly agree that the problem needs to be fixed, I also wholeheartedly agree that this thread is getting out of control - no more ME TOO THIS BUG SCUKS comments, please, everything that needs to be said has been said. Now we wait. (On a sidenote: I have attached a simple python script which will toggle rhythmbox's visibility (launching it if it is not currently running) - bind one of your hotkeys to run this script, use that hotkey instead of the close-button or the panel icon - when I started doing this, I stopped even realising that this bug still existed.) ** Attachment added: Script to toggle rhythmbox's visibility (launching it if it is not currently running) http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15688681/rhythmbox-toggle.py -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Il giorno lun, 30/06/2008 alle 07.46 +, Sebastien Bacher ha scritto: some comments though: - the notification area is not made to have applications staying there - consistancy is good, but do you have many applications not closing when you close those? that's rather pidgin and the reboot notifications which should be changed if they are not consistant in the default installation - seems that users will not agree on that so the best way is probably to have a plugin available to change the setting, that's where recent comments are going Sebastian: if there will be an option for setting this, then I am perfectly fine. Nobody explained this for months and the impression I got is that this was not ever going to be adjusted. Please don't say we are spamming. I am not the kind of guy that believes there is an universal truly correct behaviour for an user interface. It's a matter of habit, so if you want to change this particular convention for the ubuntu desktop, I will be glad to change my habits as soon as there is consistency. For now, however, if you can name another ubuntu application (possibly part of the default desktop) that behaves as rhythmbox, I will take note of that. For now, the bug seems to be in rhythmbox. If you (intended as the ubuntu developers community) want to fix every other application, please do so, but let us know, perhaps by just writing an e-mail to other developers, making everybody aware of this new trend in the usage of icons in the notification area so they'll start respecting it. I seriously put in doubt there's agreement on what the right behavior is, but at least in ubuntu some should be found. Not caring about consistency in such well-exposed elements of the interface is, in my opinion, not a viable option expecially if things are so trivial to fix. When I teach people how to use ubuntu, it should be easy for me to explain what the notification area is for, by giving examples. Pidgin and rhythmbox are the obvious candidates, and they behave differently. This is uncomfortable. However, as I said, I will no longer care about this issue, since I am fine with the planned option or plugin, and I am fine with the plugin being in my home directory right now.

[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
Sebastien, among the 8 comments you mention there is described a workaround which interested users (I guess every users who is interested in this bug) can use to get what they want quickly and somewhat painlessly. They also made clear that a fix at ubuntu level is unlikely, even if I would find it nice to have. I don't consider this bringing no value, especially the workaround provided. People look into bugreports for this kind of things too until there is a nice fix released. - the example you mention are just opinion on the topic, there is no reason to consider the notification area as a part of the application rather than an indication of the fact that the application is running There is no reason to consider the notification area icon as only an indicator either. The guidelines might say that, but all the other applications I use consider the notification area icon as part of the application, then I assume this should be true for all the applications. That's what a coerent user interface should allow you to do, and it should be the goal of any desktop environment. Rhythmbox is an exception to the usual user experience with applications with notification area icon. And even if this would not have been the case, given the number of users interested in this I'd say adding this option would make Rhythmbox a better software. About the patch you mention, I don't understand what needs to be patched. Rhythmbox itself does not need any patch, just the plugin needs to be included in the release (I don't care if it's from upstream or added by ubuntu). -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It *does* seem to me like developers are just waiting for people to forget this. Just asking for a stupid option is not enough. It seems that the only viable alternative is a fork. I will not do this anyway, because I have better things to do. However I can't but notice the lack of any will to dialogue with users. In ubuntu we have transmission and pidgin installed by default. They make a certain use of the notification area. Then, we have rhythmbox. It makes a different use of the notification area. Nobody wants to comment on this except for saying things are not going to change. I personally don't see why I should see a notification icon disappear when I close a window that I open clicking on it. Its not logical. NO ubuntu application does this by default. Looking for examples? The blue round pair of arrows that signals that you need to reboot the machine. It's in front of me right now. I click on it, and it tells me to reboot. I have NO WAY to make it disappear. Very cool. I can only reboot my machine or keep the thing there forever. Closing the window won't make the notice disappear. And it is a notification, after all. As that is a notification area the notice should disappear after I ack it. Instead, there is no way. For normal applications, that are not just notices, like pidgin or transmission, it's not even under question that the application should quit when I close the window. Why? Because I can open the window clicking on the icon, then the window is seen as *dependent* from the icon. So how it is that I can open a window clicking on a symbol on the screen, and then I can make the symbol on the screen disappear by closing this dependent window? Take the mixer, the network icon and so on. There is no other application I can see installed by default, that shows a symbol in the upper right corner of the screen, that exhibits the following behaviour: 1) click on the symbol 2) close the window that appears 3) see the symbol disappear. The only application that does this is rhythmbox. Please just acknowledge this. And now say that I am unpolite and I don't respect free software. I just don't respect being mercyless ignored for months and years and having to fork a package just for the sake of people I install ubuntu to. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Vincenzo, I understand your disappointment but I don't think the developers are waiting for people to forget. This issue has been fixed upstream with a trivial patch wich adds a gconf option, so the developers did do something about this problem (even if it took a long battle for this...). What I wish to have is this patch backported to the current version of rhythmbox shipped with ubuntu (I guess the version with the patch included will not be available in ubuntu until the next release?). I don't care if the default option stays the same as it is now (which is wrong in my opinion but this has ben beaten to death and I'm tired of it). To be able to change the default behaviour via gconf is enough for me and I guess for almost all the other people annoyed by this bug, so, since the patch is obviously not dangerous, backporting it is a reasonable solution, IMHO. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm so tired of losing my random track or having to re-buffer my radio feed because I accidentally close Rhythmbox. This happens 2-3 times a session.

If common sense isn't prevailing, at least let clear demand. Barring THAT, there should at least be an option in gconfig. Frankly, this isn't good enough.

I'm impressed by the blindness of rhythmbox developers. It's about 1 year that it's been discussed.

[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
I am just calling for a comment on the hig violation I mentioned, that closing a window should not cause an object in the panel to disappear. For what I understand about tray icons and the intended behavior of rhythmbox, this application shouldn't have a tray icon at all. In any case, I don't think it can be denied that current behavior is unconsistent with all other applications, and this is another indication that the tray icon is not appropriate in this application, which is meant to behave like a single window app, not like a background daemon. Seeing an icon in the tray we expect a background daemon, and this is an usability problem. It's not because I want it that way, I usually run amarok :) I am pointing out that the HIG states you shouldn't propagate the effect of an action on an object to other visible objects, and that's applicable to the tray icon as well. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
All applications I know that have an icon in the system tray can show a window when clicked, but closing that window will not make the application quit or the icon disappear from the systray. Is it ok to close a window, but the application in this context is represented by the systray icon, like it was an user-launched daemon. There exist two different _objects_ on screen: the application, in the systray, and the window. Also, the HIG has been mentioned here. If I click on the close button of a given window, the _window_ must disappear, not a different object that I have in the tray. This is in the HIG. Rhythmbox is currently violating the HIG not doing so. When I click on the close button, and hear music stopping, and see the tray window disappear, I swear. Really. Because it's not normal that I close a window and the tray icon goes away. If this is not the intended behavior then rhythmbox shouldn't have a tray icon at all. For me it's confusing, it's not following the behavior of other apps there. Totem does not have any tray icon, and I have no confusion about it when I use it. I am reopening, not because I want to be picky. It's because it's breaking my usual workflow, which is to launch the player, then to click on it to open the playlist, then to close the _playlist_ leaving music in background. I think systray was invented just to make background applications like this observable, and leaving an handle to the user to interact with. The icon in the tray means something very precise. Totem does not have it, for example, hence I don't expect the music it is playing to survive to the close button. But if I see an icon in the tray, I expect it to represent an application that will not close if I close all of its windows. Like it was a daemon, let me say it again. There is no worry about the close button being inconsistent: if you close a window you just close a window, and that's all you expect. Doing more than this, should be a worry. Would you expect closing a chat window in pidgin to disconnect you? I wouldn't, but when I want to _close_ the chat window, I _close_ it using the _close_ button. There exists an application, pidgin, which is responsible to keep you connected, and n chat windows, where n can also be zero. With audio players it's the same: there exists an application which is responsible to keep playing music in backround while you work, and there is the main window that you can show to select what music to play in the next hour, and you can close to let it disappear. Examples: look at pidgin, thunderbird, skype. Look at tomboy: you close the only opened note, the icon stays there. If this was not the expected behavior, then the systray would absolutely make no sense. I don't know any other gnome, kde or windows application that has the current behavior of rhythmbox, if you can name one, please do so. In ubuntu there even exists a program, alltray, for the sole purpose of mimicking the usual close-to-tray behavior that we are talking about. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
Ok, I've read other discussions on the gnome bug tracker. Not going to surrender :) Sorry for causing trouble here, but I really think I am seeing a mistake in gnome, and would like to see it corrected. So let me summarize the two most important points that have been overlooked, apart from personal preferences and impressions. Sebastian: you asked: what is your issue with having the close button closing an application?. Issue is, I would prefer the close button to close a window, not an application. If usually, and for very good reasons, application and window coincide (and I know this is part of the HIG), the systray is exactly an exception. The systray is a mean to represent an application as a separate entity from the windows it created. But, more important: current policy violates the HIG. You manipulate an object (the window) and end up deleting another object (the tray icon). The HIG principle I mention here has been considered so important in the history of gnome, that we can't have a damn panel properties menu entry, in the menu of panel items. I remember the discussion when I still used gnome 1.2 in debian potato. This leads to various usability problems, especially when you have a full panel and you can't open the context menu of your panel, but we had to accept these usability problems just because acting on an object should not act on other visible objects. Now I really don't see why you should violate this principle, and don't see what other principles would be violated by letting the close action on a window do what you asked for, which is, close the window, please. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38512] Re: Window close should close, not quit
The first application I met which didn't close, but minimized to the tray, was skype, and that was confusing for me. Why didn't it close? Close has allways meant close. Minimize was minimize.

Yes, Close has allways (sic) meant close, and minimize has always meant minimize. Furthermore, quit has always meant quit. Why on earth would the close button mean quit on an application that has other objects open? Closing the buddy list in Pidgin shouldn't close all the conversation windows any more than closing a conversation window should close the buddy list, and it doesn't. We have a system tray icon so the application keeps running.
