Option to set notify-send timeout #202

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Is there any option to set the notify-send expire-time ? Messages are 
disappearing too fast imho (~6 seconds). Is it possible to set "-1" for example 
? Something like a notification-history with the last few notfications would 
also be a cool feature. What do you think ?

Growl configuration gives you that option - you can also set them to sticky so 
they won't disappear.

But afaik Growl is not available for Linux, or am I wrong ? 
I think an option to change the libnotify settings would be good anyway because 
it's already installed by default...

Me too... But it seems the ubuntu developers do not want third party programs 
changing their timeout settings, more info in this issue: 
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/issues/detail?id=50&can=1&q=no
tify-send

Notification history has been requested in issue 164.

People really need a Growl for Linux, there is this one but it seems dead:

It seems to be possible, however it does not change anything for me.

#man notify-send
...
-t, --expire-time=TIME
              Specifies  the  timeout  in  milliseconds at which to expire the
              notification
...

It should work but the ubuntu developers disabled it despite it being specified 
in freedesktop standards.

I know it's possible to change the expiration time, but I don't know how to set 
it especially for android-notifier. This is what I am asking, an option to set 
the expiration-time inside the android-notifier desktop app.
I'm not using Ubuntu, I'm on Debian testing and/or sid. I can send with 
different expiration times from shell without issues...

If ubuntu does not support it, we can't support it because people will keep 
asking why it doesn't work. Unfortunately, Ubuntu is the most used Linux 
distro, so we have to be completely compatible with it.
