Hi list,
dear Rui,
I am a happy qjackctl user. Nevertheless after more than five years I
must say that I have already learnt that jackd will continue to run if
I close the qjackctl main window and leave it there as system tray.
The same goes for the bubbles that announce a problem, or the need to
restart after doing changes.
Is there any chance this might be addressed in a future update,
like as a configurable option? Could one at least try to comment it
out in the source code and recompile?
Thanks to the list for support and to Rui for writing and maintaining
qjackctl!
best, Peter

the bubbles stays there for about 5 seconds then disappear. what harm
comes from that?
and yes, one could make it there a "don't ask me again" checkboxbut one
would have to code just that from scratch--rewrite a system-tray bubble

maybe there's already code out there that you can rip off yourself? it's
not jack nor audio related, it's a pure qt-gui thing cf.

Totally understood. Thank you for giving me your
view on that.

Thank you! Perhaps a shorter timeout can already
solve the thing for me.
Did you set it explicitely or are the 5 seconds you mention a system
default?
http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.6/qsystemtrayicon.html#showMessage
I couldn't find it by neither briefly reading the source code of
qjackctl, nor by grepping, but I am not very good at this either I am
afraid.
Thanks for all!

my bad. it's actually 10 seconds (millisecondsTimeoutHint = 10000)

Is that the information from the link I sent or a content
of qjackctl's sources? I can't really figure out where and how to set
thr timeout for qjackctl, supposedly in qjackctlSystemTray.cpp, I am
afraid.
best, and thanks again!

I am confused if you wish both jackd to stop running and the bubbles not
to show or just the bubbles.
Anyway, The timeout in qjackctl is (as indicated) a hint. The DE may
choose a different timeout. I don't know which DE you are using, but in
xfce there is a setting dialog for Notifications in with the other system
settings. In my case I can change the look (theme), position, opacity and
timeout. The default is 10s. Changing this would affect all of you
notifications, not just qjackctl, but if that is distracting, I would
guess others may be as well. If you don't want any notifications, don't
start the notification app(let)... probably also a part of system
settings.

I still haven't found it being set in qjackctls sources. So I
assume
it uses qt's default 10secs.
I found the part where the bubbles are initiated, but don't know how
to specifythe timeout there, as it is somehow cascaded with other
functions and conditions.

Thank you. The situatio is a
bit different here on fluxbox, but thanks
again Len for pointing these possibilities out to me.
all the best!
