atrusso, i'm still confused about the messaging menu. What determines if an application shows up there?19:37
atrusevolution/empathy/gwibber/pidgin seem to just be there permanently, even the ones i don't use, just because they're installed. gm-notify only shows up when its running which seems like the right behavior...19:38
atrusis there a way to remove things from the menu if i don't want them there?19:38
atrusie, an app that's installed for another user, but that I don't actually use at all?19:39
atrusalso, is there any visual indication from indicator-applet that an application isn't running? Evolution's always in there, but it seems like the menu only does anything if the evolution UI is open, which is confusing.19:40
tedgatrus: You can remove things by putting them in the blacklist directory if you'd like.20:04
tedgatrus: Applications that show up there are those who have been ported to use the libindicate library.20:04
tedgatrus: gm-notify should put it self as a launcher there, but it hasn't yet.20:04
tedgatrus: Not having a large difference between running and not running is a design goal in that you can go to a menu to find the application no matter what the state of it is.20:05
atrustedg: okay, so looking at evolution for example, how do i tell from looking at the menu whether evolution is actually checking mail for me?20:06
atrusit shows up in the menu regardless of whether it's checking mail (apparently).20:07
tedgatrus: It will have your mailboxes listed below it, and not have a description if it is not running.20:07
tedgSorry.  Description == not running.  Mailboxes == running.20:08
atrusthat seems somewhat non-intuitive.20:08
SiDiHi there. Does anyone have Celeste Lyn Paul's email by chance?21:13
ScottKSiDi: Should be in her Launchpad profile or you can contact her via Launchpad.21:13
SiDiScottK: do you have her LP username then please? :)21:14
ScottKSiDi: I'd guess seele (her IRC Nick), but if not LP search on that should turn it up.21:14
SiDioh, found her on google. Thanks21:15
atrustedg: so, where is this blacklist directory? or did that make karmic/karmic-proposed yet?22:53
tedgatrus: ~/.config/indicators/messages/application-blacklist  If you want you can just do "mkdir -p ~/.config/indicators/messages/application-blacklist ; cp /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/* /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/"22:54
tedgSorry, the second directory in the cp should be the blacklist one.22:56
tedgCopy-and-paste error.22:56
atrushmm.22:56
atrusso, i did "mkdir -p ~/.config/indicators/messages/application-blacklist; cp /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution ~/.config/indicators/messages/application-blacklist", and then removed/re-added the indicator applet, but evolution still shows up in there.22:57
tedgSorry, it should be "applications-blacklist" instead of "application-blacklist"22:58
atrus"mkdir -p ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist; cp /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist"22:59
atrusand evolution still shows up.22:59
tedgHmm...  that's unexpected....23:07
tedgI need to go and make dinner.  But probably the best thing to do is kill indicator-messages-service and then run it in a terminal.  It'll output lots of fun information about what it's thinking.23:08
atrustedg: so it does report finding the blacklist item, but it also reports "Found file: evolution" twice...23:14
atrusoh.23:16
