I think, our initial idea of tweaking the indicator-applet is through the app's own settings dialog (which doesn't exist... yet?) is because we know that this is a new app that is put on top of the desktop that we always knew. If we regarded the app like libnotify, we could be more inclined to change the notification settings on the app that uses it like Pidgin, for example. Another thing is, the indicator applet sits on our panels. If libnotify had a panel icon, I think, I would expect to be able to tweak my notification settings on the GUI of libnotify as well.
I think, Mark's point is valid in putting the settings of the notification on the app (like Evolution), but it would also be ideal to add a configuration dialog for indicator-applet that can be accessed through it's panel applet's right click menu. Think about how Pidgin handles proxy settings. Yes, those settings should be global and set using GNOME's tool for the job, but Pidgin still provides the GUI that points the user to GNOME's proxy settings. This is also the case for other browsers, IM clients, and other apps even in other platforms. My suggestion is to have a configuration dialog for indicator-applet and an option on the GUI of Evolution, Empathy, or whatever. If they can't both have a unique GUI for the job (which *could* be useless), one of them should at least point the user to the GUI where the setting can be tweaked like how Pidgin configures proxy. -- Can't set other apps to be on indicator-applet by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
