[Bug 597162] New: Device Notifier should be on the taskbar by default
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597162 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597162#c0 Summary: Device Notifier should be on the taskbar by default Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 5 Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: malv_star@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 SUSE/3.6.3-1.5 Firefox/3.6.3 openSuSE 11.2 included the Device Notifier widget on the taskbar by default, but openSuSE 11.3 does not. My users have consistently indicated that they consider this method of managing plugged-in devices/volumes the best of any OS they had previously used and have seemed to actively enjoy using the widget. The single click icon in an easy-to-reach location and pleasantly-sized graphics seem to make a huge difference to their use of the system. Could this widget please be included on the taskbar by default?

The 4.4.2 upstream code should have the device notifier in the system tray by default (and the battery on portable systems), but the code doesn't seem to work.

Maybe we should put the device notifier widget in the panel instead of inside the systray. At least on my machines, when the device notier is inside the systray, the device notifications have a tendency to pop up in the middle of the screen, instead of just above the systray like they're supposed to. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The device notifier not being there, will mean that in practice most users won't be able to figure out how to work with removable devices. The battery widget not being there is close to disastrous too. And of course shipping with a default desktop with such a basic fsckup would make openSUSE look completely ridiculous and noone will have any trust in a product that ships with breakage that is immediately apparent seconds after first logging in. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

it's visible from Dolphin

one can add it with "add plasmoid". I agree they should be default, but none prevent the use of the distro. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Not only should it be there for technical reasons, it should be there for user experience reasons. The device notifier is the one UI element I have received the most praise about. "Wow, what a great idea!" "Why doesn't every OS have this?!" are the two most common comments I have received about it. Most people don't even seem to be aware of the Windows "Safely Remove" system tray icon. Additionally, there is no way a missing battery widget is acceptable for any desktop environment in 2010. Notebook computers represent a significant portion of the machines I ship these days. How can I possibly justify the lack of battery display to notebook users? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
