[plasmashell] [Bug 452500] Allow to temporarily disable notifications from a single app
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452500 --- Comment #14 from Alex --- Let's say I would like to mute the team chat for 2 hours, but keep notifications for reminders from the calandar app on, so you get notified when the next meeting starts. Now I could, of course, just quit the teamchat, or disable notifications inside the team-chat itself. But will I remember to start it again after 2 hours? Maybe I will only remember several hours later and then have missed quite a few notifications and was unreachable for a lot of people. The DnD feature also doesn't discard (or prevent) the notifications completely, but only disables showing them for a chosen amount of time and you can have a look at them later on. In the end, I would say the use-cases are all the same as for the global DnD function, only that you may want to whitelist or blacklist only certain applications instead of disabling notifications for all programs. Most often it would probably be like getting one notification, e.g. from a chat, and then clicking on "mute for 2 hours" and wouldn't require an extensive management for lists of enabled and disabled apps. For me, it also doesn't have to persist across sessions, but a switch that just suppresses the notifications right now is enough. I can't imagine that it would be hard to implement and it could be handy for the cases when only one app is sending too many notifications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452500 --- Comment #13 from Nate Graham --- Can you give me an example of an app that you want to keep open but not receive notifications from, and what problems would be caused if you closed the app instead of muting its notifications? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I would not consider this a good solution. At best it is a workaround. I do not really care about music apps (I do not use notifications for such trivial things), but I am thinking about different chat system, mail clients, and so on. > I don't think it's super likely that we'll end up implementing what > essentially amounts to a per-app DND mode.

Each App already has a header (or whatever it is internally called) in the notifications list with a clear-button, that remove all notification from that app. There could additionally be a DnD button, that allows to mute future notification for some time. I would compare it to notifications in mobile apps. If your Signal group is too active, you can mute it for 1 hour and still receive notification for message from other users. In KDE it would be a DnD mode for, e.g., notifications from your chat program, which do not suppress notifications from, for example, your e-mail client. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Got it now. To be honest, based on your use cases, I think the path of least resistance is to just close the apps that you don't want to receive notifications from (e.g. the personal chat app while you're at work, other noisy app), or permanently disable their notifications (e.g. Spotify).

Thanks for the idea anyway though! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
