** Description changed:
A cousin of bug #1354406
Some of the early testers are hitting a use case that we didn't account
for, that of multiple alarms set for the same time.
Indicator-datetime currently tries to pull up notifications for, and
play sounds for, both notifications. That's happening by accident and is
clearly not the right approach.
I can think of a couple of approaches we might take:
- (1) Queue the alarms such that only one triggers at a time. This has the
- advantage of being simple, both in concept and in code. I'm not certain
- this is the most user-friendly approach, as it could be frustrating have
- to dismiss a queue of alarms.
+ -- SOLUTION --
+ If 2 or more alarms have been triggered, the notification at any time will
display:
+ Title: 2 Alarms
+ Subtitle: [Label 1] 10:00, [Label 2] 10:01
- (2) Somehow fold multiple alarms together. This has the advantage of
- being friendlier to the user as only a single snooze/dismiss prompt
- would be given. However it opens other questions, e.g. which of the
- alarms' sounds should play?
-
- Of these two I slghtly prefer (1) for its simplicity; however, neither
- of these options seems perfect and I'm hoping Design may have a better
- suggestion
+ The sound of the first alarm will be played. If they have the same time,
+ the one that has been created first.
