This is for jobs, such as "Loading archive" or "Examining..."
which are purely informational and provide no meaningful
action once finished. When this property is set, a job will
not show a "Finished" notification when finished successfully.
This unit is neutral, it doesn't distinguish between e.g. file and dirs,
just counting items. Useful in e.g. notifications of batch rename jobs.
CCBUG: 422098
It is supposed to broadcast application job progress to multiple interested parties.
However, effectively it was just plasmashell. Cut the middleman, including its never finished and unused UI,
and talk to plasmashell directly.
The applicationjobs dataengine is adjusted to use the new infrastructure instead.
Since it works only in the same process now, Unity launcher API is used to at least broadcast basic
application progress information for use in e.g. Latte Dock.
Also, introduce JobViewServerV2 and JobViewV3 APIs which are using desktop entries for identification rather
than application names, and more importantly are extensible using a QVariantMap hints, so adding new
fields in the future should be significantly less painful with Frameworks, Applications, and Plasma all having
their own release schedule. :)
- Rework compact representation animations a bit
For some reason they often got stuck
- Implement do not disturb mode for applications
- Add fallback timeout to ensure notifications eventually timeout
Otherwise when disabling dnd mode you will get spammed
and we would also keep apps running indefinitely waiting for the notification to close
- Install plasmanotifyrc with some sane defaults
So far only lets Spectacle show its screenshot notifications in dnd mode
- Introduce Closable role rather than hardcoding that behavior everywhere in the view
- Better app identification/grouping for jobs
- Be more lenient about app identification (firefox will match Firefox, too)
- Cleanups
- Add basic do not disturb mode
Can set a time until it enabled, persisted across reboots
Whitelist for apps missing right not
Inhibition API not wired up yet
- d-pointer JobDetails
- Use KFilePlacesModel for prettier destUrl reporting "Copying to Home"
- Expose default action in history as button
- Improved right-to-left language support
- Let NotificationServer just lurk (without registering a service)
- Catch when plasmoid is deleted and stick to another one
- Notification action buttons
- Custom icon pixmaps in notifications
- Popup handling
- Notification urgency (low isn't shown as popup TBD, critical always no matter what)
- History stuff (only expired notifications end up there, none that were closed or revoked)
- Text selection and copy for body text
- Basic tray icon support
and many other things
Application jobs are shown as part of regular notifications:
- They show up as little popup that can be hidden in the history
- When finished progress popup turns into a notification
There's still some glitches and missing features, notably
- Screenshot thumbnails
- "Open" functionality for finished jobs
- History layout
- code cleanup
- and basically every configuration option
