Re: [Evolution-hackers] Move evolution-alarm-notify to E-D-S?

It could live in the new services directory: evolution-data-server/services/evolution-alarm-notify/ evolution-alarm-notify is already an autostart program, launched when you start your desktop session, well before you ever launch Evolution. Problem is if it dies for some reason it has to be manually restarted, otherwise you'll miss appointment reminders. My thought was if it also claimed a well-known session bus name then it could easily be activated by evolution-calendar-factory on start up, and (most importantly) RE-activated if the calendar factory detects that the bus name lost its owner. I like the idea. It might also be great, if it can notify across the bus for alarms so that any third party program can listen and operate upon. -Srini ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Personally I'd prefer it if the logic in evolution-alarm-notify was cleaned up into a library (I started this, see https://github.com/rossburton/libealarm, but it needs a lot of work) and then the GNOME Shell handle the notifications itself. Currently the notifications are pretty ugly and don't fit in with GNOME 3 at all, which is a shame. e-a-n should probably remain as an example and for people who want Evolution 3 but not GNOME 3, but ideally won't be used.
