duplicated notification example
SUMMARY
In those desktops with two o more monitors, and one panel on each, every
notification popup is show in each monitor and one notification per monitor
(i.e.: if you have three monitors, you'll see three popups on each monitor) by
default, which seems a bug to me and has been already reported
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393247)
I can disable completely notifications on additional monitor, which is not
ideal, because I would like to see what's happening if I have my main monitor
with some full screen application overlapping the panel. Or I can hide just
system notifications or just transfer notifications on the additional monitors
for not to show them on there, which in my opinion, isn't ideal either, because
perhaps I would like to see for example file transfer notifications every now
and then on that notification system tray.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put a default panel in each monitor (two monitors minimum)
2. Transfer a set of files and wait to finish
OBSERVED RESULT
You'll see two notifications in each monitor (if you are on a two-monitor set
up) (see attachment)
EXPECTED RESULT
At least, if you have notifications enabled on all system tray notification
widget, you should only see one notification popup in each monitor, not as many
popups as monitors
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think the ideal notification icon should be managed globally, not per
monitor/panel. On notification settings, where now you let to choose the
location of the notification popup, I would also add three options:
- show in all monitors
- show just in main monitor
- show the notification of the applications in the current monitor (just like
the taskbar does) then, if for example, you want to work on the main monitor
with yakuake at full screen, you can beforehand drag the dolphin window to your
auxiliary monitor when copying those bunch of files and the notification will
be shown on that monitor, even you start the file transfer on your main
monitor.
