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). Thomas - what's your opinion here? Should notifications about file operations be persistent or not? Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer
