Already gave up on Ubuntu three years ago simply because of this. As a experienced GTK developer (two of my GTK3 applications are in Debian/Ubuntu repositories, abandoned but actively used) I pity that this happened so late, just because of someone's dumb vision and not respecing other users point of view.

Townsend First, thank you for doing the right thing. I haven't tried this feature yet, since I'm still not using Unity (or even Ubuntu anymore) and I have a question: does this feature distinguish between focused (to be minimized) and unfocused (to be focused) state? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is the code I asked about:

+{
+wm.Minimize(windows[0]-window_id());
+}
+else

}
}
}
Looks like it checks how many windows are in the group (windows.size()
== 1) and if the setting is enabled (minimize_window_on_click); and the
function is limited to windows on the current desktop
(WindowFilter::ON_CURRENT_DESKTOP); but I don't see anything about
focused/unfocused state.
Most of the time it will be fine as-is, especially for users who don't
clutter a single workspace with lots of windows, but there may be
occasions when a single window on the current desktop may be under
another window or a group of windows and clicking on the icon will
minimize it behind them (Aunt Suzy). Since there's a minimize
animation to see, most users will probably realize what happened and
click the icon one more time to get the desired window out and on top.
Adding an additional if statement to cover this case would be a nice
improvement. Please excuse my ignorance of the proper names of the
functions and variables involved; consider this a blueprint for actual
code:
if (windows.size() == 1 minimize_window_on_click)
{
+if ( windows[0]-window_state() == unfocused )
+{
+wm.Raise(windows[0]-window_id());
+}
+else
+{
wm.Minimize(windows[0]-window_id());
}
I know how hard it was to get this feature in even as-is with no more
tweaks or enhancements, and I'm happy to see it happen at all, so I
won't hold it against anyone if this behavior is never updated; just a
suggestion (and reiteration of the same from several comments in this
report).

As much as I appreciate any way to accomplish this, I must agree with Tal Liron. To achieve this option, you must install additional software and a regular use won't ever know this option exists. Furthermore, this option should be the default for 14.04. Not one bug report would be reported if this option were made default in the 14.04 release. No one would complain *period*.

Comment #335 should remain the focus of this post I'd like to remind. Ubuntu 14.04 is great. The dash is fine for type-launching an application, but not good for surveying the applications you got. However, the classicmenu-indicator package addresses this shortcoming. Now, in 14.04, you can set window's menus to be in the title bar of each window, instead of that mac-like crap on the top panel.

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
Forgive me for starting the comments in such a way, I am simply tired of seeing the Ubuntu team make poor choices in terms of functionality. Some can be good and some can be bad but unfortunately right now the bad out weigh the good. And this feature is still available by users for at least = 12.04, and given that your first comment starts with PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, it doesn't sound like your posts are of any help here as you say in doesn't help this issue. Please direct me towards a PPA that i can install to allow this feature for 13.10 or 14.04, that is if you can which i highly doubt is possible without having to build unity from scratch. Also, you got something wrong there, this is not supposed to be a forum where anyone posts his/her useless opinions, this is supposed to be a *bug tracker*. Honestly i don't really care what its called. The point of the matter is to comment on the situation and make it a bigger deal. I know that the Ubuntu team has decided that they will not fix this issue but if we continue to heat this argument then maybe that will change, but sitting here complaining about how other people are wrong isn't helping anything. The point of this discussion is to help the Ubuntu team understand what we find is wrong with the current functionality and how they can go about fixing it. Though commenting here won't have any effect on the official versions of Ubuntu anyway, Canonical has decided it neither likes the proposed feature nor does it like customization. I cannot help but feel you are missing the point of this conversation entirely. If there is a problem and no one talks about it or makes any comments about how there is something wrong, does that problem ever get fixed? NO! Please add reason and persuasion to your comments and MAYBE the Ubuntu team will see this and decide to attempt a fix. best regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Ayatana design team, development team, whoever is in charge of overseeing this subject! I beg of you, in the nicest way i can possibly ask, please fix this issue. This single issue is the bane of my existence, i cant seem to adjust but i was able too in 12.04 BECAUSE it had this feature. This was the key feature that made me turn away from windows and even mac because it was a complete system, it had all the functionality that i needed to be very very productive. I EVEN HAD ONE OF MY COLLEGE PROFESSORS TRY THIS OUT, EVEN HE SAID IT WAS AMAZING! but now this feature is gone and i find Ubuntu clunky and hard to use because of all the screen clutter that exists. Like the bug description says, that design would be perfect, but if that is too hard to implement, at least give us the benefit of the doubt by just adding this feature to single windows instead of a window stack. I can try to live with this and id be more than happy to return to Ubuntu. This shouldn't be hard to do since i had this implemented on a 13.04 install but it was buggy cause unity didn't agree with this modification so ultimately it was unusable but regardless this feature would make 14.04 perfect. I know i speak for a lot of people when i say that this would be ideal in terms of functionality. I already feel that unity is nice in that it offers a different desktop experience but one that is well thought out in terms of functionality, however this one simple issue, to me, has caused its use to be difficult even new users find it hard to use because they normally come from windows and mac and say why doesn't the launcher minimize my app, that doesn't make any sense! Then they tell me they don't like it and want to go back to windows, myself included. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I will join a design team if i have to, i will gladly contribute to this cause, i am a computer science graduate so i know i can at least be of some assistance. Also kudos on the integrated menu, i was amazed by that cause i didn't think there was a way to make it better, but you continue to amaze. Now if we can just get this one little tiny thing in there it'd be PERFECT! Thank you Ubuntu team for all of your hard work in designing probably THE nicest desktop environment in the world, and to make it even better, its free! for this i thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
Designers seem to have declared war on minimizing. Elementary OS and Gnome even removed the minimize-button. Many want to make the PC more like Android and eliminate the difference between close and minimize. After close the state is preserved in memory for quick reopen. We see that music apps keep on playing when closed. I have nothing against that. But the PC differs form a phone and tablet because it can show many windows in the same time. What I find annoying is that when I open a new app, I have to hide the other window manually not to have a cluttered interface. I find it distracting when pieces of other windows are sticking out. I would want to suggest a more profound solution: I call it AUTOMINIMIZE = Whenever an app is opened hide all other visible windows automatically! Of course this is not always wanted, and that is why I suggest to change the minimize app in a pin-app to prevent it from hiding. I would also like this behaviour when changing apps with alt-tab or dock. = Only show the apps that is called. To make it perfect you could make some apps pinned by default. This way we do not need to minimize any more and this would also work fine on a mobile devices as well.

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
You know, if they could at least do post #335, it would make up a lot for the inconveniences of the title bar being integrated into the top- panel. Due to Title Bar Integrated in top-panel, these additional steps are required to minimize and application (using the mouse): 1) Click on application window you want to minimize 2) Hover your mouse all the way to the top-left panel (that doesn't show you a minimize button until you hover over it) 3) Click a very tiny red circle with a X (why do precise an effort for my tastes) Now, if they'd grant post #335, you could click on a very blunt fat icon (require less precise effort) that's 1) Visible even if the application doesn't have focus. 2) All three of the steps listed above could be achieved with less mouse movement: a. You don't have to mouse to the unfocused window and click it to make it gain focus b. If the window you are trying to minimize doesn't have focus, you have one location that both i.

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
I fully agree with Dave's use case from #351. I like spread behavior that acts when multiple windows are open. In work I use Windows 7 and it has similar behavior (opens mini list) but I prefer how Unity works [1]. But Windows 7 allows me to minimize the window if it's only one and this is really comfortable. It serves double purpose: - allows you to acutally minimize the window to clear the desktop, - if I get lost in open windows allows me to quickly locate the window (during the minimizing transition) and I can easily re-click the same icon to have it open and activated, this sort of duplicates what the spread action allows me to do in a consistent manner. Long story short: IMO minimizing a single active window with a click in the laucher is a desirable behavior for me and is consistent with other dash functions. [1] The small improvement would be adding bigger letered titles to windows minatures in spead for easier recognition but that's off-topic here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If they Unity designers said The launcher is only for launching -- I might disagree, but I'd understand. It would be viewed like the list of apps in Android or iOS.

I came here after seeing this bug resurface in a Google+ Community post. I agree with #346 above: Unity just doesn't work that way, and is not supposed to work that way. I personally never used this requested functionality even on Windows; the minimize button is a much more obvious way to handle that. Advanced users bothered by this can just switch to another DE that they can then customize to their liking. Contrary to what some very vocal people above and elsewhere have said, not everyone wants this on their desktop. The launcher icon is supposed to be for launching and spreading applications. Perhaps a better solution would be to click the icon of an already-running application to activate the spread, but include a couple overlaid dash-style buttons in the background to minimize all windows or the currently selected window. I'm not a designer, so I have no idea how good this actually would be in practice, but IMHO it would be a pretty good compromise and more usable to me than the suggested alternative here.

If there's only one Window, however, then I wouldn't mind the minimize feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My suggestion was just marked as a duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1170466 You know, the development team really ought to at least consider minimizing when these three conditions are the case: 1) The launcher's application is already open 2) The launcher's application is already focused 3) The application has only one window instance. Currently, when you click the launcher (in the state above), it does NOTHING! So why not add Toggle-Minimize feature here? At least do this, pleaase? ** Tags added: raring -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Jakob Changing the description will not stop people posting their annoyance that the Ayatana design team thinks it knows what's best for the user and completely ignores the overwhelming disquiet about the issue. Using a PPA is all fine and well but two developers have tried that but constantly chasing Unity updates was clearly too much effort and are no longer maintained.

As it has been over a year since it was rejected last and I doubt that anyone from unity list reads it, one of the ways to raise it again would be to post to unity mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design After all, opinions can change over time. And this should at least be marked as opinion and not wontfix, if I understand those labels correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
