GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 344806
Separate Play and Pause buttons
Last modified: 2006-06-13 21:53:50 UTC
The Gnome Human Interface Guidelines state: "Show separate Stop and Pause buttons. Do not change Play to Pause while the clip is playing." http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/toolbars.html#toolbars-media Totem currently has a single button that changes between the two functions. Other information:
Yep, the HIG is clearly outdated in that respect. Furthermore, it's only a guideline. Look back in the mailing-list archives, or bugzilla for Totem in the past 4 years, and you should find conversations about this topic have already been discussed.
