<br>
First of all, i have no solution for this. I've just observed an issue<br>
with the notification system that might benefit of improvements when<br>
we all brainstorm here about how it should behave. This is for KDE<br>
4.xx, but i'm guessing the actual notifications are the same in plasma<br>
next. Please do correct me if i'm wrong.<br>
<br>
Just a few minutes i noticed a few things when i was:<br>
1. downloading a few files using ktorrent<br>
2. copying a few files in dolphin from X to Y<br>
3. wireless network connection lost<br>
<br>
Point 3 is obviously a notification i want to see and know about.<br>
<br>
But 1 and 2 are not notifications that i care about. I don't even<br>
think they should be part of the "notifications" as they are now. They<br>
should just be short lives messages to tell me something and probably<br>
just disappear when they are not useful anymore. I don't think they<br>
should be persistent and pile up in the notification area as they do<br>
now.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In Plasma Next, the notifications stack/history now contains only and only persistent notifications, all the rest just flies by and disappears forever after the timeout.</div><div>

Slowly but steadily more applications start using the notification<br>
area. Which is great, no doubt there! But the amount of persistent<br>
notifications (that i need to click away for the notification bubble<br>
to become clean again) is beginning to be annoying.<br>

What's your opinion here?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The job's notifications in particular are handled by the notifications/job plasmoid itself, so it would be easy to adjust once-for-all. Thinking about the file operations, I would agree that the notification does not need to be persistent. If you go away from your computer and a job finishes in the meantime, you can tell it's finished once you get back because the job is no longer running and/or because you see the file in the destination (in your open Dolphin window for example).<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Thomas - what's your opinion here? Should notifications about file operations be persistent or not?</div></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div>-- <br><div><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer</span></div>
