SUMMARY Running Konversation (installed from konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl.7z) on Windows 10: Tried configuring notifications using the Menu to log notifications to file (or any other form of notification such as display/sound/execute_command/etc.) - there are still no notifications (displayed/logged/sounded/command_executed/etc.). This applies to all events including - as written to the automatically generated '%APPDATA%/Local/konversation.notifyrc' configuration file (entire file pasted as follows within """): """ [Event/channelJoin] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/connectionFailure] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/dccChat] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/dcc_error] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/dcc_incoming] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/dcctransfer_done] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/highlight] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/join] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/kick] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/message] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/mode] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/nick] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/nickchange] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/notify] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/part] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/query] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= [Event/queryMessage] Action=Logfile Execute= Logfile=file:///D:/Logs/konversation-master-725-windows-msvc2019_64-cl/0.log Sound= TTS= """ Tried changing the log file path to relative from absolute and ensured that there are no issues with the path, and also confirmed that it has nothing to do with directory/file permissions. Even tried creating the file '0.log' in the specified path above, but this not fix the problem either. Enabled IRC Chatlogs and confirmed that these IRC Chatlogs are logged without any problems - so, it seems that only notifications are not logged despite being configured to log. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download a recent version of konversation for Windows available from https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Konversation_Nightly_win64/ or https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Konversation_Release_win64/ 2. Install/Extract the package and run konversation.exe from the installation directory. 3. Configure any combination of notification(s) to log to a file (or execute command, or sound, etc.) using the menu. OBSERVED RESULT No notifications logged to the designated log file (nor displayed/logged/sounded/command_executed/etc.). EXPECTED RESULT Designated log file created if it did not already exist and all expected notifications logged to the designated log file (or displayed/logged/sounded/command_executed/etc.). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.x Qt Version: 5.x ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Also posted this bug on 'de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde','comp.windows.x.kde' newsgroups and also tried (unsuccessfully) posting it to 'konversation-devel@kde.org' mailing list.
Also, forgot to mention in 'EXPECTED RESULT' section: By default, existing log file(s) must always be appended-to and never overwritten/truncated/rotated, since log file(s) should never be deleted/overwritten/truncated/rotated without the users' consent.
This is 2 years old?? Just discovered Konversation, and it was literally perfect in all aspects, EXCEPT for Notifications not working in Windows :/ Text-to-Speech is actually working (after applying it, restart Konversation), and Traybar highlighting works when the Konversation window is NOT active, but none of the other seem to work, especially the most important one, Popup message. Found another ticket from 2019 just now as well, so seeing that one, plus yours, killed any hope I had of this ever being fixed :/
