Description Patrick Silva 2022-09-10 21:32:12 UTC

SUMMARY
Currently the 'do not disturb' mode does not affect notifications about file operations like compressing, extracting, renaming, copying, moving. These notifications are distractive and annoying when I need to do many file operations in sequence, therefore would be nice if 'do not disturb' mode affects them too.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. enable 'do not disturb' mode
2. copy/move/rename files with Dolphin or create/extract an archive with Ark
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma shows notifications

EXPECTED RESULT
no notification

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition

This is intentional; if they didn't appear in Do Not Disturb mode, then there would be no feedback about job progress at all, which would be even more annoying.

In general the logic we've come up with is that Do Not Disturb mode should only suppress notifications that were not initiated by explicit user action as part of a program's normal UI flow
