Description Karel Volný 2021-04-16 09:28:12 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to set up taskbar notifications in Konversation does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
konversation-1.7.7-2.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run konversation, connect to some server
2. go to Settings => Configure Notifications
3. select e.g. Nick written
4. check Mark taskbar entry, OK
5. switch away from Konversation (make different application active)
6. have someone written your nick on a channel

Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
the Konversation item flashes on the taskbar until the user switches to the application (makes it active)

Additional info:
working around by using popup notifications isn't viable as these disappear quickly (there is no option to make them shown indefinitely, you can set 120 secs at max) and it is pretty annoying having to clean up the notifications manually, especially if you're in the middle of a conversation directed to you, receiving tenths of messages ...

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

I've just tested this and I get a 1 in a circle on the taskbar icon for konversation. I'm not sure it's supposed to flash. Can you please confirm?

nope, the taskbar item doesn't change for me

what works (but it is pretty annoying) is to activate popup messagess - then the message appears in the notifications applet in tray; this disappears after a while (max time that can be set is just 120 s, ouch) but then at least the notifications icon is different until clicking it and emptying the notifications queue (however, this aggregates all notifications, not just from konversation)

> I'm not sure it's supposed to flash. Can you please confirm?

it did in the past - before wayland (or something like that?)

not sure if this is exactly the same, as tray notifications work for me, what doesn't work is the taskbar highlighting ... but yes, I guess it makes sense to link these

Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21.
