There's no reason to have a notification that stays in the history, because when updates are available, Discover's System Tray item that displays the same information becomes visible.
Git commit b9bf6a37ef6f99a3bcf5296bbc67f3820feae5b9 by Nate Graham. Committed on 13/07/2019 at 02:31. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Make "Updates Available" notification persistent but low priority Summary: Discover's "Updates are available" notification currently suffers from some problems: 1. With the default timeout, it disappears quickly and is likely to be missed 2. After timing out, it appears in thie history, where is is both redundant (because the Update Notifier system tray icon has become visible) and also useless (because it can't be interacted with due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407361 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407667) 3. Once updates are performed, the notification in the history sticks around uselessly because notifications can't be revoked once they're in the history (See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409323#c3) This patch fixes those issues by making the update persistent but low priority. This means it must be noticed by the user and interacted with in some way before it disappears from the screen--either by dismissing it or running the updates. But once dismissed, it's gone forever, and doesn't clutter up your history. Related: bug 409331 FIXED-IN: 5.17.0 Test Plan: 1. Have updates available 2. Deploy patch 3. Restart plasmashell 4. See that the notification is now persistent 5. Dismiss notification 6. See that it no longer clogs up the history 7. Restart plasmashell again 8. Click on the notification's body or "Update" button 9. See that Discover opens and the notification disappears Reviewers: apol, #discover_software_store Reviewed By: apol, #discover_software_store Subscribers: plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22429 M +1 -0 libdiscover/resources/discoverabstractnotifier.notifyrc M +6 -4 notifier/DiscoverNotifier.cpp M +3 -0 notifier/DiscoverNotifier.h https://commits.kde.org/discover/b9bf6a37ef6f99a3bcf5296bbc67f3820feae5b9
