Hmmm not sure I agree with that explanation. It's clear that people want to be able to set the length a notification shows for. It's a feature that is even listed in the documentation.
People are asking to be able to use it, and you're either not letting them, or are suggesting having a one-controls-all slider bar. As far as API's go that's not very usable and you're not catering for people that want to develop for the platform. You still haven't given a clear reason why it's a bad idea to expose the timeout property. There are clear reasons why it would be a good idea to expose it (mentioned above). It benefits the end user's experience, and platform as a whole, as developers are able to write applications with suitable timeouts depending on the context. -- notify-send ignores the expire timeout parameter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
