Use tooltip to notify user of added torrent

[JD]

Binary package hint: transmission

When I double-click a torrent file while Transmission is running in the notification area, the torrent is added. However to the average user nothing happened, Transmission should notify you when a torrent is added - preferably with a tooltip.

Ubuntu 8.04 (Latest Updates)

[Kevin (kevin64-deactivatedaccount)]

Please, try again with Hardy final release

[JD (jacobdorne)]

It still happens.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

This bug only occurs when the option to "Prompt for directory" is disabled. Nonetheless, a tooltip would be appropriate for this situation.

Does the problem still exist with Ubuntu Jaunty and transmission 1.51-0ubuntu1?

[JD (jacobdorne)]

Yes the problem still exists in *buntu 9.04 jaunty with latest updates.

Like Nanly Chery said, it only happens when Prompt for Directory is disabled.

[Hew (hew)]
