Basic patch to implement this (1.79 KB, patch)

Description Arvind Narayanan 2006-01-10 06:54:01 UTC 
Everytime I log in, lj shows me a message telling me to change my password
because it doesn't like it. When I log in with drivel, it faithfully creates a
popup displaying this message and I have to click "OK", which is annoying.
Instead, it would be great if there were a "don't show me this message again"
button. I'm not sure how drivel would detect that two messages are the same, but
a simple strcmp would work fine as long as the messages that the user has
blocked are stored on disk.

Basic patch to implement this

This patch implements the basic functionality, however it needs a few improvements (like a UI thing to de-ignore messages) before it'll be suitable for main use. The file dump bit might also need double-checking when there are multiple messages to ignore.
Comment 2 Neil Williams 2009-04-03 19:27:30 UTC 
Not sure about this one myself. Without a "UI-thing to de-ignore messages" in the patch, I can't see this being implemented. At best, it's a target for 2.2.

Reopening as I can't see any open question.
Comment 4 Neil Williams 2010-03-06 09:47:23 UTC 
Closing - no likelihood of being fixed.
