Description emerald-arcana 2001-08-22 20:06:36 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konsole
Version:           KDE 2.1.1 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

A wishlist item is for people who use terminals to monitor items such as logs that are continually added text terminals that receive notification messages etc.

Konsole should have a configurable option to enable itself to:

1) Beep
and/or
2) Pop on top without gaining focus

to grab the attention of a user.

This would be useful for anyone who is monitoring information such as system logs or for people who multitask using konsoles and tend to hide their konsole window behind other windows.

I think this wishlist item would be very useful. An alternative to beeping or 
popping up would be for the toolbar button for inactive sessions to flash if 
they were receiving data.

Something like this is already implemented in KDE 3 Beta: The toolbar
icon changes if you enable "Monitor for Activity" for active session.

This wishlist item has been implimented in KDE >3.0

You can configure in HEAD/KDE 3.2 if you want a sound or (passive) popup for 
monitored sessions.
