Title:
Show a spinny in the application launcher icon when performing
indeterminate tasks
Status in Ayatana Design:
New
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
At the moment, the Unity Launcher supports displaying the progress of
an application as part of its launcher tile. This is good.
Some tasks in some applications, however, do not have an easily
calculated percentage completion, and so use an 'indeterminate
progress bar'. A good example of this is when checking for new updates
in Update Manager. The progress bar bounces back and forth, rather
than filling from start to finish.
Problem: The Unity launcher has no support for displaying this type of
status on a launcher tile.
Solution: Add a spinny in the launcher icon where the number is
displayed. Please see the attached mockup. Also, The app can decide if
it wants the number, or the spinner, or both.
This is a bug report based on the discussion on the ayatana mailing
list. You can view the message about this discussion at
https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/msg08313.html. The solution
to introduce spinny was accepted by Mark Shuttleworth as can be read
from the discussion.
