Bug ID: 449517
Summary: Applet instance should show a brief error in addition
to the notification about connection failure
Product: Bluedevil
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: system tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@ratijas.tk
CC: m...@ratijas.tk, now...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When an attempt to connect to a device fails, Plasma workspace shows a timed
notification in a corner of the screen. If the attempt was triggered by
clicking in an applet instance far from that corner, it might be hard to
notice, and user might get frustrated because nothing seems to happen ("I clikk
— it dasan't work"). Also, the bigger the screen — the more prominent this
issue becomes; see LTT video of Linux Challenge about Ark's compression status.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair with a Bluetooth device.
2a. Turn off the device, take off the batteries, put it far away and make sure
it won't be able to connect
2b. Or a Bluetooth stack that crashes all the time installed (ahem…)
3. Press Connect button on that device's view in the applet.
OBSERVED RESULT
Either immediately or after some time — an error notification appears in
Plasma, but there's no visual feedback in the applet itself.
EXPECTED RESULT
Applet should briefly show an error state somewhere over the device item/row,
or as an inline message on top/bottom of the list.
