Hello all, There was something I was wondering today and would like to know your opinions on the matter. Currently, there seems to be no implementation or even specification for dismissing messages through the messaging menu. By dismissing I mean:
- Chat: someone has sent you a message but you don't want to respond because you are too busy or you simply are angry with the person. :) - Mail: you've received a new email but, because of the mailbox it was sent to, you just know it's not important enough for you to read right now. - Microblogging: you've received a post that, despite being a direct message, reply or mention, does not require replying and you were able to read the entire thing before the notification bubble faded out (this one happens a lot to me, it's just 140 chars, after all) Those cases cannot simply be ignored because the messaging menu icon will stay in "draw attention" mode, preventing me to notice messages sent afterwards. So to "unlit" the icon in those cases I am forced to open the message even though I won't reply. This feels suboptimal. So I was wondering if it wouldn't be interesting for the messaging menu to have a "clear" button of some sort, which would remove all indicators at once. Thoughts? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
