Sure. But my point is that if tracker automatically stops indexing when the user is interacting with the computer, he won't probably need/want to know what's the status. He shouldn't need to care at all. From a user POV, he should just open tracker-search-tool, or tracker-applet, or nautilus, or deskbar-applet, or whatever is integrated with tracker, perform a search, and the results will be shown. He shouldn't be worried on whether tracker is indexing, or is paused, or whatever. > I will have options to hide the icon if people find it annoying That's what bug 176981 is about, and as it's just an option I think it's harmless and should be implemented. > But without a tray icon you will not be able to pause (or auto pause to > prevent system slowing down) either as emilo said Well, I think the auto-pause option when user is using the system (keyboard or mouse) should be enabled by default, so you wouldn't need tracker-applet to enable it. The option could be implemented in tracker-preferences, so you can activate/deactivate it even if you don't have tracker-applet. > > Anyway i will make sure the applet is not shown if indexing is disabled Right, that's what this bug is about, so thanks. -- tray icon appears even when tracker is disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
