Re: [E-devel] notification module: how do you use it?
hi, sorry if this request was written by someone already, didn't look through the thread. right now each new unread message add own box and if the message is unread then hovering mouse over that box (without clicking) will raise the original notification: http://www.imagebam.com/image/47af1635729112 but when you're out for a long period and then back - such behavior is not quite comfortable. it'd be really great to have a single remainder-box with an options to review and delete the unread messages. right here several critical alerts types are fetched from logs and proceeded with notify-send, festival (as an option) and so on. it'd be really nice option to have an unique notification management tool. at least an option to store unread messages and work with them later could be handy for some. regards, sda -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

There is one thing which has always bothered me,- that is the fact that the notification module does not seem to respect the urgency level. I have just now tried the following with a clean and new config with only notification module enabled in addition to the default enabled modules.

Anyway, you described good test cases that I'll consider while doing the work. With all the negative comments above, I must say one positive comment: the rest of the module works absolutely fine. I have configured it heavily in my original .e config, tweaking *all* the checkboxes/sliders I could find. :D Since you are trying to clean up the module, I thought it would be a good time to bring up this bug :D sure.

If not I'll drop this feature, fix some bugs with popup positioning and move it to e/src/modules. I tried the gadget some time ago and didn't find it useful at all. However, I could imagine a gadget that stores notifications to make it available as history in list form. Would imho be a better use for a gadget (could also be possible to disable notify-popups so they go directly in the history and can be viewed later). Also this allows it to have a fixed space in a shelf where it is visible as a single gadget whether or not there are any notifications. So I'd say: drop it and maybe create a useful replacement. -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
