Re: [Sugar-devel] The need for a notification system
Hi Sam, 2014-01-27 Sam Parkinson sam.parkins...@gmail.com: Hi, I’ve been working on some stuff recently and I really see the need for a simple notification system. One example of a user of the system is here: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/96. The thing is I’m not sure how we want the system implemented. Maybe it would be good to have a discussion about this stuff as I think it would be used a lot, both inside the system and inside activities. for notifications we use GObject signals. And DBus for system - activities notifications. In your special case, I'm not sure about adding a few space left in the device in Sugar. See how Browse checks for the available disk space without calling another process: https://git.sugarlabs.org/browse/mainline/blobs/master/downloadmanager.py#line299 -- .. manuq .. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] The need for a notification system
Sugar already have a notification system, used by example when a user sent a invitation to another user, or when a user sent a journal object to a friend, but need be improved, in particular the flashing icon in the corner, is not very visible, and then the user need open the frame to get the message. Also, there are a difficult balance, between a system where you don't want distract to the user, and showing important information. You can look at more information and proposed ideas in the wiki for inspiration: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Design_Team/Proposals/Notifications http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Simple_Messages_Notification https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Messages_Notification Gonzalo On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 2:01 AM, Sam Parkinson sam.parkins...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I've been working on some stuff recently and I really see the need for a *simple* notification system.
