Title:
Time to charge may be hard to distinguish from time to discharge
Status in Ayatana Design:
Fix Released
Status in The Power Indicator:
Confirmed
Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
indicator-power 0.5-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Ocelot
1. From the battery menu, turn on "Show Time in Menu Bar".
2. Unplug AC power.
3. Reconnect AC power.
What happens: The time left to use, and time left to charge, are shown
in exactly the same way.
If this is bad, it is a design mistake on my part.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Battery_menu>
Possible solutions:
a. Do nothing -- rely on the icon to convey the difference between charging
and discharging.
- Pro: Status quo, requires no work.
- Con: The text may lead people to think they do not need to look at the
icon.
b. Show time left to use without brackets, time left to charge with brackets.
- Pro: Correctly implies that time left to charge is not as important.
- Con: Whenever there's nothing between the battery and clock menus, the
two bits of text could be confused.
c. Continue to show both in brackets, but add a minus sign for time left to
charge.
- Pro: Compact.
- Con: Obscure.
Any other ideas?
