I would find this incredibly helpful, but would also love to be able to also dismiss something by ID. That way a "Processing..." notification could be displayed indefinitely, then removed when the process behind completed.
As someone seems to have already patched this it would be fantastic to see it deployed in the official repositories, rather than having to muck about compiling my own version! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libnotify in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257135 Title: notify-send(1) can't replace an existing notification Status in libnotify package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libnotify package in Debian: New Bug description: Binary package hint: libnotify-bin Ubuntu 8.04, libnotify-bin 0.4.4-3build1. notify-send(1) is very useful but it doesn't tell me the notification ID that's been created, nor does it let me specify that to replace an earlier notification. See http://www.galago- project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html#command-notify, in particular the replaces_id parameter and the return value. I'd like to be able to use it something like id=$(notify-send --show-id foo) sleep 60 notify-send --replace $id bar This would be great for long-running shell scripts that are monitoring something.
