Re: [Ayatana] Regarding the Sound Menu Spec's closing of inactive audio applications



This here was and is imo be the most clear and straightforward contribution to the problem this thread is trying to address:

In the perfect implementation, Rhythmbox or Banshee would then have a way of continuing playback where you last left off..
Meaning even if Rhythmbox or Banshee was quit somehow, it should resume right where you left it upon quit, by simply pressing the Play button in the Sound Menu's playback controls.

If R or B would take longer to load because it was unfortunately quit beforehand, then so be it, but "distraction" here would be to make the user go back into the library / manager view to resume playback where it was last stopped.

My argument is not against session saving - it's against the behavior of closing the media player instead of hiding it to the indicators (like the rest of the housed applications). I advise you re-read the messages.

Nothing wrong with session saving imo, even though it never really worked in GNOME, not even for Nautilus windows, which imo is a sad thing (or did i use/configure it wrongly?).
