Dialogue spam when receiving multiple files

instead of dialogs, show a notice via blue-tooth icon on notify area, replacing it when more files come Other information: screnshot of the problem http://www.flickr.com/photos/77122833@N00/293641410/in/photostream/
Fair do's. They should be sequential.
Hi, I use bluetooth-applet in fedora core 6 (gnome 2.16) and I also use it on fedora core 5 (gnome 2.14). I must say that I love how this applet works great when I want to transfer an image from my phone to laptop... works every time, and it does a great job of it. I never had any problems with it. One thing I must say is that I much more prefer how bluetooth-applet works in older gnome/fedora than in new version. When I transfer a lot of images from phone to laptop for every one I get one popup windows asking me do I want to save the picture or open it... and that i a bit annoying. Can you please make it work like it did before? These popup windows are really contra productive... and if there are many pictures than there are a lot of windows to click and that is not user friendly. It is ok to give an option to show this windows if somebody wants it, but also an option to disable it for those who don't want it, like me. Thank you very much for all great work you put into making this easy to use addon to gnome. Valent from Croatia.
Note that you can unset /apps/gnome-obex-server/receive_notification in GConf which will disable the dialogue mess, and only ask you about whether you want to receive from such and such device.
This is obsoleted by the Obex server code in gnome-user-share, and we use libnotify nowadays to tell users about received files, so we shouldn't have this sort of problems anymore.
