Do not notify as first or as last item? #246

Open agowa opened 8 months ago

agowa commented 8 months ago

When adding the "Do not notify" item to a filter Thunderbird adds a note about the "real filter action ordering" and within that popup shows that even though I added the "Do not notify" action last it will be executed first. However the documentation (https://quickfilters.quickfolders.org/filtaquilla.html#do_not_notify) also says that it should be last. Could you clarify on this? It also does not look like it always works. Esp. after closing and reopening Thunderbird. I had the "Do Not Notify" item also listed twice within the filter rules dialog after restarting Thunderbird before. I then disabled the option within the add on settings, disabled the addon, restarted thunder bird, re-enabled the addon, re-enabled the "Do Not Notify" option within the addon settings, and then re-added it to the filter. This solved the issue of it being shown multiple times in the drop down, but neither the consistency issue (it appears like it only worked right after installing the addon and stopped working since. It may also suppress some notifications, I think I don't get as many notifications as I otherwise would, but it definitely doesn't prevent all of the notifications it should (e.g. some of the messages the filter applies to still show notifications).

Sorry as I only took over the Add-on a few years back can you explain "Do not notify" and how it would affect the "move" by being in a different order?

The documentation mentioned something about "Do not notify" having to be the last filter in the rule set. However it appears as Thunderbird is currently ignoring this and applying the filter first.

Also it does not look like it is actually suppressing the desktop notification for new mails at all.

I'm currently confused about a) this setting not working and b) that note from the screenshot ./. documentation.

And because of b) I currently suspect that some change made an additional option or flag within the code necessary to be placed last in the chain and that this is why it doesn't work.
