Tray icon should be possible to disable #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open xnoise
2. play any compatible file
3. click the window's close button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: media should stop playing and program should close
actual: xnoise remains open and playing from tray

What version of xnoise are you using? Release or mercurial repo version?
0.1.18 (Fedora 15)

Please provide any additional information below.
On larger, CPU-intensive video files, the CPU load isn't even reduced when 
there's no window it has to render to, so what good does tray-only mode even 
accomplish there?

You are using an outdated version. 
xnoise will not die if the window is closed. You can reopen it by clicking on 
the tray icon. 
If you want to quit, select quit from the menu.

From a usability perspective, why does closing the program need to be a 
two-click operation? Closing the window generally means you want it closed, not 
lingering around continuing to play sound and use up CPU.

Does the more up-to-date version provide a way to implement this behavior?

You can always use quit from menu as  shuerhaaken said. It doesnt have to be 
two way click. Well at least as You reported. Its also two way click because 
You have to click menu and then quit.

If its true that close means exactly that, this behaviour is not exclusive from 
xnoise. I also use clementine and it has the same behavior. Altough in 
preferences clementine provides an option to disable tray icon.

I think that this could be an option to include in xnoise preferences

Ok. I will add an option to the preferences. 
Something like 'window closing will quit application'

I suggest:

"Run in background when the window is closed" 

or

"Quit application when the window is closed"

Obviously they have different meanings, so the user must check/uncheck option 
depending on the string that will be used.
