Description Will Westrop 2020-04-13 20:57:17 UTC 
Konsole already has options to "Monitor for Silence" and "Monitor for Activity" on the View menu

Say I have a long-running script, which is sometimes spammy, and sometimes silent for a long time (eg downloading lots of data). In this case, I'd like to just put it into the background, and have Konsole ping me when the whole thing is done.

Because of the script's sometimes-quiet-sometimes-not nature, both of the existing options will give me multiple spurious notifications before the script has finished entirely.



I have in fact been hacking on such a thing (not finished), link here: https://github.com/wwestrop/konsole/commit/251452b1


Would people find this useful?
I'm a complete noob to Qt and KDE development in general, so don't know about the standards, testing process, i18n, etc. Any advice on where I should go to discuss this?

Indeed, I would love this! I've longed for it myself on many occasions.

Please feel free to submit that as a merge request on https://invent.kde.org/kde/konsole/-/merge_requests/

I'm not sure why the commit hooks didn't work to adjust this BKO.   If it doesn't work I'll manually adjust it
