Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2013-11-26 10:48:28 UTC

I edit a lot of files in kate over sftp.
Often I get a notification that a certain file was saved - it slowly builds up a log of unusable "file been saved" in the notification area. So 2-3 times of day I can clear my plasma notifications from 20 notifications from kate.
Could we not set a timeout for this kind of notifications? This notification happens ca. 2 seconds after saving in Kate, so it doesn't make sense to have it lying around all day or having to click it away with the mouse.

Reproducible: Always

Could you please copy&send the text of that notification message? It could come from KIO.

Comment 2 Joseph Wenninger 2014-01-23 20:11:57 UTC

I'm sure that is from KIO

Comment 3 Joseph Wenninger 2014-01-23 20:15:36 UTC

I guess this will also be an issue with KF5,  I guess KDE4 is in maintenance mode in that regard

Comment 4 Maarten De Meyer 2014-10-08 15:00:54 UTC

The timout of notifications is handled by plasma I think.

Unless you don't want KIO to show these notifications at all?

Comment 5 David Faure 2015-02-01 18:15:47 UTC

Nothing in KIO talks about "saved", it's all about copying and writing. I'm pretty sure this is from Kate itself.

Comment 6 Pascal d'Hermilly 2015-02-02 20:44:29 UTC

I was wrong and inprecise when I wrote "file saved". Sorry. 
Directly translated from Danish it says "Moving [finished]" followed by newline and the file path.

What I wonder is why a saving transaction that takes around 3 seconds should stay in the notifications until I clear it.  3 seconds is pretty interactive.
If the notification can be updated to contain a "[finished]" then perhaps it can be entirely removed if it takes less than say 30 seconds. I don't know exactly what the time limit should be, but 3 seconds is  too litlle for a notification that doesn't disappear by itself.

Comment 7 Dominik Haumann 2016-06-14 15:52:10 UTC

Is this still an issue in Kate 5 ?

Comment 8 Christoph Cullmann 2016-09-05 19:10:09 UTC

For me that notifications work "ok" in plasma 5 and are not kept around for ever.
