Yes, but those abilities are not possible with notify-send. Hence, these bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnotify/+bug/257135 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=559544 > You should maybe come with concrete example of things that > the current design is limiting which would benefit users I have three audio devices, and I have a script to cycle the current sink to use the next device. Currently, with the broken notify-send, if I hit a hotkey to cycle to the next device I am unable to see which current device is active unless I pause for 5 seconds each time I want to switch devices. This makes notify-send totally useless. It seems as if the Ubuntu UI developers have a deep seated inability to contemplate the possibility that other people have useful and productive things to say. What a nice way to treat people who are basically volunteering their labor to help make Ubuntu better. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #559544 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=559544 -- 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
