Here's how rhythmbox should go about this case when second song lacks cover-art (pseudo-code):
// create a new bubble for first song image_file = get_cover_art_image (song_one); if (image_file) n = notification_new ("Song one", "Artist one, Album one", image_file); else n = notification_new ("Song one", "Artist one, Album one", " "); // note the space between the last double-quote pair notification_show (n); // update current bubble image_file = get_cover_art_image (song_two); if (image_file) notification_update (n, "Song two", "Artist two, Album two", image_file); else notification_update (n, "Song two", "Artist two, Album two", " "); // note the space between the last double-quote pair notification_show (n); According to you example-case the first song will have a cover-image, thus the if-branch will be executed (resulting in an icon-summary-body layout case). For the second song the else-branch will be executed, because it lacks a cover-image. Then the filename will be a simple single space (and result in a summary-body layout case). This is needed for notify-osd to be able to determine the bubble-layout and distinguish update- from append-cases. -- Rhythmbox Notification Bubble shows wrong cover art https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451086 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
