Getting spammed by notifications #36

Closed MightyCreak closed 3 months ago

MightyCreak commented 3 months ago

Hello!

As written in this review, I get spammed with notifications (I'd say 10 per hour) although I've setup the cleanup to be done every 24h as you can see here:

Note: I use Firefox Sync and I have 3 or 4 devices with History Cleaner installed on them (I don't know if the settings are also shared or if it's only the extensions).

You have the Trigger Mode set to Idle, not Timer. Idle will trigger every time you leave your computer with no input for the Idle Length (by default, 60 seconds). If you want it to run once every 24 hours, set the Trigger Mode to Timer.

I'm planning on making Timer the default in the next version, but right now Idle is still the default.

Aaah I see! I thought it was a combination of the two settings: clean every 24h, but only when the browser is idle (to prevent using CPU while the user is actively using their browser).

Thanks!
