Re: Naughty Notifications on multiple monitors
Hum, well, you will have to update a little bit your config!
First, the default naughty.notify function returns a table representing the
notification, but your new notify function doesn't, so update it :
naughty.notify_ = naughty.notify
naughty.notify = function (args,...)
notifications = {}
for i = 1, screen.count() do
args.screen = i
notifications:insert(i, naughty.notify_(args,...))
end
return notifications
end
Then line 600 you update to something like :
local notifs = naughty.notify(args)
local id = {}
for notif in ipairs(notifs) do
id:insert(notif.id)
end
Nevertheless, I think that you use the id value to replace the
notification, do you ? In this case, you will have to update again your
custom notification to handle the case if args.id is a table (instead of a
number) :
naughty.notify = function (args,...)
notifications = {}
naughty_args = args
for i = 1, screen.count() do
if args.replaces_id and type(args.replaces_id) == "table" then
naughty_args.replaces_id = args.replaces_id[i]
end
naughty_args.screen = i
notifications:insert(i, naughty.notify_(args,...))
end
return notifications
end
Or something like that.
Cheers,
Alexis

Re: Naughty Notifications on multiple monitors
Hi,
When I commented out 600 and 601 of naughty.lua *before* changing rc.lua, I
got:
naughty.lua:604: bad arg #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)
on both screens.
Then, when I added the updated naughy.notify function to rc.lua, I got:
rc.lua:22 attempt to call a nil value (method 'insert')
on only one screen
Ironically, the previous solution would work perfectly if it wasn't for the
error messages (which are critical and have to be clicked away)!
Is there a way to selectively silence the error messages related to
naughty.lua without silencing all errors?
Thanks,
Abe
