The first sentence of the design spec for notify-osd clearly says it should implement the Desktop Notifications Specification.
The first line of the Desktop Notifications Specification says, "The following messages MUST be supported by all implementations." There is no ambiguity. notify-osd does not use the expire_timeout parameter of org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify. expire_timeout INT32 ... <<< If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent on the notification server's settings, >>> and may vary for the type of notification. If 0, never expire. notify-osd always acts as though expire_timeout is -1. Nothing in the spec says "feel free to ignore this in your implementation", or "developers beware- implementations are free to ignore this and still be called compliant (i.e. don't expect this to actually work)". Clearly, this is a bug (that it's by choice is irrelevant). Apps written to be fully compliant with the Desktop Notifications Specification using the expire_timeout parameter have notifications that do not work correctly on Ubuntu. That is _unacceptable_. -- 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
