Re: [Ayatana] (In)sensitive menu itens for displaying information

Why not try this:

1. Instead of having the obscure "copy track data" feature, why not simplify the buttons in indicator-sound to something like http://imgur.com/ueC7X.jpg and add a fourth button indicating that it will copy the data to the clipboard.

2. Have copied items handled by the OS itself and not be application specific, as mentioned before, it is rather irksome to lose copied data after the closure of an application.

3. Add an entry to the right click dialog that is labeled "Paste Recent." This entry would contain the last 5 or so copied items and have an entry at the bottom to clear the recent copy history.

This seems to be the least intrusive and straight forward method and it would clear up several issues at once.

Regarding the original thread, with such an indicator, a click of the track would cause the clipboard indicator to become a solid green, and thus the user would know something was copied.

Except of course that if they already had something in the clipboard, it would already be green, so no change would occur, and there would be nothing to notice.

That's why it becomes solid green, and then fades slowly, so it still would be a throb.
