GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 589851
append the body to notification instead of overwriting it
Last modified: 2010-01-19 16:09:29 UTC
I prepared a patch (though I don't know if it's correct) which appends the body text to a notification instead of replacing it. I thought of this because when the notification is updated, there might be not enough time to see the previous message. so appending it is in my opinion better
Created attachment 139270 [details] [review] append_notification_body.patch
Will this work with all notification daemons, or should capabilities be tested?
It is not a capability, I simply append the text using g_strdup_printf
How do you manage the following case: - Alice sends you "a first message" - Bob sends you "a second message" Are the 2 messages mixed in the same notification?
They don't mix, anyway only the bubble from Alice is displayed (not the second from Bob), because of this "bug" (it's an intentional behavior): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589868 The bubble from Bob will be displayed as soon as clicking on the blinking notification area
Any intention about the patch? reject?
+1. pls get this in. it would be a greeat usability improvement.
FYI bug #597125 slightly changes the notifications bubbles behaviour.
I think this make sense but should be done only if the server supports the 'append' capability. This should be implemented on the EmpathyNotifyManager (bug #601691) is merged.
Closing a dup of bug #607446 as it provides a better patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 607446 ***
