[Bug 773896] Re: Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity
Patrick, the problem in this bug report is not that Evolution isn't using notifications. The problem is that it is using notifications when it shouldn't, because they are not persistent. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773896 Title: Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/773896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 773896] Re: Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity
** Description changed: Binary package hint: evolution In 10.10 and before, Evolution alarms would appear in the system tray. With Unity, there is no persistent trace of alarms associated with calendar events after the notification bubble has disappeared. - I think this is a regression: I trusted this function to remind me of important appointments, but unless I am in front of my screen at the appropriate moment (when the notification bubble appears) I am not made aware of these appointments. - - The workaround is to whitelist evolution-alarm-notify. But presumably there needs to be a solution that integrates better with Unity, perhaps a message in the message indicator and the icon turning blue, or the date-time glowing blue and appointment flashing under the date-time menu? + I think this is a regression: I trusted this function to remind me of important appointments, but unless I am in front of my screen at the appropriate moment (when the notification bubble appears) I am not made aware of these appointments. + + The workaround is to whitelist evolution-alarm-notify.

After checking deeper into it, it's more complex than I tought. There is no alarm notification either from dbus or the evolution api.

An idea for this would be to modify evolution-indicator to make it add a nodification for alarms and not just emails.

[Bug 773896] Re: Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity
I am also with Ubuntu 11.10, but there is no pop-up window. It would be good to have a pop-up window (and a possibility to stop it in the preferences for the people that do not like it.) An indicator with a drop-down list of all active notification would be great as well. It would be handy if the notification(s) would be listed there (not disappear) until some action has been done (e.g. deactivate them by clicking on the entry). Indicator-icon should change when there is a notification or should disappear when there is none.

[Bug 773896] Re: Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity
This appears to be as being fixed in Oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10). Although I agree we could do more (indicator ?), I'm not sure what else needs to be done. I've just been able to confirm in precise (though the packages in Oneiric as extremely similar, unlikely that there is any difference impacting alarms) that alarms cause both the alarm dialog to pop up in front of all windows, despite evolution to be closed (but e -calendar-factory needs to be running, but that's obvious), and it also causes a notification bubble to show up. The persistent trace would be the evolution alarm dialog that pops up. Any reason that this is not sufficient, besides the fact that a window popping up might be annoying for some? ** Attachment added: Capture du 2011-12-14 14:30:10.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/773896/+attachment/2633358/+files/Capture%20du%202011-12-14%2014%3A30%3A10.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773896 Title: Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/773896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
