Wishlist: Rhythmbox unnecessarily announces "Not Playing" when I close it
Last modified: 2014-04-10 12:57:35 UTC
Wishlist: This is something happening in some desktop environments (Unity in this case), I don't know how many desktop shells are affected. And I don't know if it has a rationale, but most users that I know think it is not necessary. Open Rhythmbox Close Rhythmbox Notice a notification bubble appears which announces "Not Playing" along with the RB logo. This seems unnecessary given I'm currently not listening to anything and I actively closed the RB window - indicating that I'm not wanting to listen to something. I don't need to be told that the music player is now no longer playing. Skype doesn't tell me it's not on a call when I close it, and firefox doesn't tell me I'm not browsing when I close that.
What exact version of rhythmbox are you using?
Rhythmbox 3.0.1
Confirming on F20.
fixed in commit 998ae82; now we just close the notification when not playing.
