Description Matias L 2020-07-07 15:22:43 UTC 
SUMMARY

With the new "Do not disturb" mode, passive popups made by knotify have no way to bypass it. The notify-send tool, of the libnotify-bin package, provides a "Urgency" parameter that, set to critical, makes the passive notification appear even when in do not disturb mode. 

I though it would be useful to have this functionality also for kdialog.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set KDE's Notifications to "Do not disturb" 
2. Send a passive popup

OBSERVED RESULT

No notification appears.

EXPECTED RESULT

Shown notification provided it is labeled as critical urgency.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KUbuntu 20.04 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68
Qt Version: 5.12.8

Just curious: Any particular reason you are using kdialog for this at all instead of just notify-send?

Not really, in fact because of this I am actually using notify-send. KDialog seems more complete, and already comes preinstalled, whilst I had to install notify-send.
