Re: [Ayatana] Evolution indicator



I agree, because evoluton isn't super fast to start, nor to scan your mails box if your connexion isn't fast.
I think, even if the "service type" isn't the default comportment, it should be an option.

I don't get that "service" VS "non-service" thing... for example, I fully expect my mail app to be a "service-like" application. I don't want to open the whole mail client "just to see if I got mail", nor do i want to have it open at all times "just in case I recieve mail".  I want to be notified when mail arrives, an then if I decide to go read it, let's go and open the application.  Same thing for gwibber and empathy, and liferea.  If something arrives, then notify me, then I'll decide if I want to open the app to read it or not.  Having 4 applications open, laying in memory and on my desktop "just in case something arrives" is a waste in my opinion, as well as having all of them closed, but having to open each one to update them.  You guys provided people some ways to update their status / send e-mails without having to have the client open (me-menu/messaging menu), why not continue that way and allow people to be notified about what they recieve the same way?  That would make the whole experience a real nice one.

I'm not a designer, this is just my 2 cents, I hope it'll help!

One issue I'm now noticing at that blueprint discussion is that it
started about harmonizing the behavior of sound and messaging
applications and ended with the conclusion that sound apps are
more service-y than message apps.

But what about harmonizing the behavior between *different*
messaging applications? Fact is, among all four applications
I have in the MM (Empathy, Evolution, Gwibber, Liferea),
Evolution is the *only* one without a "hide" behavior.
