Thanks for catching this, Mark -- I hadn't thought about the do-not- disturb mode as closely as I should have. I've now defined it in greater detail. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD?action=diff&rev2=100&rev1=98>
I considered the idea of "show ones that are no more than 3 minutes old when one exits the movie". However, doing that would mean it was possible to accumulate a 179-second-long queue of notifications during do-not-disturb mode, which doesn't seem so hot. Currently I've written that when you enter do-not-disturb mode, all non-critical and non- interactive notifications waiting in the queue should be discarded. But that has a drawback too: if you have half a dozen notification bubbles waiting in the queue, you play a five-second-long video <http://5secondfilms.com/> full-screen, and the Flash plug-in (reasonably) inhibits the screensaver because it's playing a video full- screen, Notify OSD will discard many more notification bubbles than it needs to. Anyway, we have either one or two issues here: * Notify OSD should implement the do-not-disturb mode, if it doesn't already; * OpenOffice.org Impress should inhibit the screensaver when giving a presentation, if it doesn't already. -- Notifications are shown even when there is an OpenOffice presentation ongoing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: Confirmed Bug description: all info in the title, probably applies to KOffice and others aswell. However we might want to get notifications while watching movies, so we can't exclude all fullscreen applications. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Critical%20and%20non-critical%20queues%20and%20do-not-disturb%20mode>: "Whenever a program is inhibiting the screensaver, Notify OSD should be in do-not-disturb mode. Critical notification bubbles and all confirmation bubbles should appear as normal, but the queue of non-critical notification bubbles should be paused indefinitely until your session leaves do-not-disturb mode." _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
