Also, why would these sounds be specific to USB? They would be much more useful with bluetooth, for example, where there are no wires, and it makes sense to have other ways to know if a device is connected or not. Moreover, the sounds should be configured through the system wide sound preferences and not a specific deskbar applet. > can indicate whether a cable is faulty, or if a device simply is not in a state where it can talk to Haiku. This should be done with error messages, not just sounds. > I think of that preflet as more for =E2=80=9Cadvanced users=E2=80=9D. Af= ter all, usb devices are very likely connected to the computer externally by an average user, and I feel as though having information about those devices easily accessible could help an average user determine whether their usb connected devices are properly detected and registered with Haiku without using command line tools or digging into the Devices preflet which lists every internal and external device that Haiku has detected. I think it is providing users with informations they don't need in the first place. You connect a device, it starts working immediately. You don't need to list it or something like that. Unless you are an advanced user, of course. -- = Ticket URL: Haiku The Haiku operating system. --===============5934123716536666020==--
