Bug ID: 479347
Summary: Wishlist: Allow setting notification sounds on a
per-application basis
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: xna...@hydra-development.net
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently, it is only possible to customize notification sounds for
applications that correctly export all of their individual notification events
(essentially only KDE apps). For other apps, there are still "some" settings
that can be customized, but these are limited to where and how notifications
appear.
The problem is, many third-party apps do not properly respect KDE's "do not
disturb" mode, which results in these apps still playing their own notification
sound (which goes against the idea of DND), but no popup showing up. A possible
workaround here would be to disable notification sounds in these apps
altogether, and set a new custom notification sound in system settings (which
would then be properly disabled upon entering DND mode), but for this the
functionality is currently lacking.
Therefore, I propose to add the ability to "add" a notification sound to any
app's notifications, even if that app does not export its notifications in
detail. Without any other change, this would result in the app's own
notification sound and the custom one playing at the same time, so of course
the idea here would be to disable the app's own sound in its settings first.
I'd have a look at implementing this myself as well, but wanted to gather some
feedback first if this is something that might be considered for upstreaming.
