This adds a quick reply feature with a text field inline in the notification popup.
An action named "inline-reply" will spawn the text field and a NotificationReplied signal is emitted then.
There's additional kde hints for changing the placeholder text (defaults to "Type a reply..."),
submit button text (defaults to "Send") and submit button icon name (defaults to "document-send",
that paper aeroplane icon).
It can be used to query information about the current notification server (vendor, name, version, notification spec version).
This will be used by the plasmoid and KCM to indicate when notifications are currently unavailable or provided by a
different notification service from Plasma. Also notify valid changing at runtime when ownership is lost.

The inhibition handling (e.g. combining time-based, screen mirrored, etc) is done inside the applet.
The Server knows nothing about it and only reports Inhibited as true when an external application
requested one, not when the user enabled it in the applet.
This patch exposes the NotificationManager.Server as singleton QML type and adds a way for the
applet to tell it the effective inhibition state.
Exposing the server to QML could also be used in the future to provide better error reporting
to the user when the service isn't running and/or owned by someone else (e.g. Dunst)

Register notification and job tracker services with "allow replacement" flag if not plasmashell,
so when it eventually comes up, it can claim the service and then cling on to it.
BUG: 408250
FIXED-IN: 5.16.2
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22017
* Ship some more default rules in plasmanotifyrc
* Improved do not disturb menu (add "for 4 hours" and "until disabled")
* Expand unread notifications by default, overall improved expansion/collapse handling
* Show unread count in panel and reset when plasmoid is closed again
* Move notification sanitizer and its test from dataengine to lib
* Load pixmaps into model also for files and limit their physical size
* Enforce maximum limit for notifications (1000...)
- Rename some of the classes:
NotificationServer -> Server (there's namespaces, you know)
NotificationModel -> NotificationsModel (so it's plural like JobsModel)
- Introduce NotificationGroupingCollapse
- Wire up PulseAudio-qt for eventual notification silence in dnd mode
- Touch up notification looks
- Add indentation and "line" for grouped plasmoids
- Rethink "show more" button to be at the end
- Fix buttons overlapping
- Remove NotificationDelegate item and do those few adjustments in FullRepresentation
- Cleanup job details, handle when processed > total
- Use States {} more
- Show low urgency popups by default but don't add them to history
- 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
- Old dataengine is fully functional now
Except the inhibition stuff but I'm not sure if this is worth keeping the way it is
- "More" menu opens on press now and highlights
- Invoking any action closes the notification now
KNotification explicitly does that for us but e.g. GTK does not
- Add clear button for history
- Restore kbroadcastnotification support
- Allow forgetting seen application (for KCM)
- Let users "create" notifications by calling NotificationServer::add
- When no application name is provided look up the sender's process name as last resort
- Add kdebugsettings categories file
- Improve compact reprsentation
- Keep popup open during interaction (context menu, drag)
- Improve "ago" label (e.g. show "Last Sunday")
- Improve group visuals (still pretty much WIP)
- Hide popups when interacted (opened file, triggered file action, etc)
Closing when having invoked an action isn't implemented yet but is probably neccessary
- Make autohide job popup setting work
- Set critical AlwaysOnTop (requires KWin patch)
- Improve error handling in ThumbnailStrip
Show file icon if thumbnail generation failed instead of a blank space
- Add heuristic for popup placement and make custom setting work
- Add deviceName and displayApplicationName (for KDE Connect)
So it can show from which device and which app this notification originally came from
- Improved service discovery (and defaultComponent handling)
Quite a few notifications, e.g. DrKonqi crashes are in plasma_workspace.notifyrc
When we get an event like this, show the original app instead
- Make blacklist for popup and history work
- Add "lastRead" property for "unread" handling vs "expired" (latter likely to be dropped)
- Add sortMode so history is strictly sorted by date (it's grouped after all)
- Begin work on do not disturb UI in plasmoid
- Introduces a Settings item that can be used to query and write settings
Used from both the applet and the KCM and in the future Task Manager and others
- Wire up delegate to make FullRepresentation somewhat work
- Fix text selection in NotificationItem (workaround QQC1 ScrollView bug)
- Make model writable where it makes sense (rather than having a dedicated setter)
- Let JobsModel also notice jobs that were present at the time of its creation
- Cleanup, pimpl NotificationServer and Notification for export
- Wire the old dataengine up to use it for compat:
it shows notifications but is otherwise pretty broken right now
- Start writing kconfigxt and Settings code (no real code yet)
- Add a Inhibition DBus interface (no actual server-side code yet)
- Group notifications by application
Pretty much tasks grouping model from libtaskmanager slightly adjusted
- Let widget take full height when expanded in vertical panel "side bar usecase"
- Fix bugs here and there
- 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
libnotificationmanager provides a proper notification model situation similar
to libtaskmanager. There is also a new notification applet implementing the
suggestions and VDG mockups in the wiki
NOTE: the notification dataengine is defunct in this branch, so while the applet
(for now) installs as "new notifications", the old applet will stop working when
you use this. The dataengine will eventually be restored (famous last words)
for compatibility but using the NotificationServer singleton introduced in
libnotificationmanager.
The applet can show notifications, they expire, can be closed, and their
default action invoked. Still heavily WIP and API subject to change.
