Indicate remote host in notifications received over network #102

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What feature or enhancement do you propose?
Displays should indicate the sending machine when a notification comes in over 
the network.

What problem does it solve/What benefit does it provide?
Some notifications, such as those from HardwareGrowler, may only be relevant to 
a specific 
machine. These notifications can only be useful on another machine when the 
machine they're 
about is identified in the display.

Leaving it to applications to include this information will result in 
inconsistent formatting; 
moreover, the information is not relevant when the notification is displayed on 
its machine of 
origin, only when it is displayed on another machine.

We should provide an basic machine field (computer icon + name in the 
lower-right corner of 
the display, limited to half the width of the display) for any display. 
Displays that would prefer to 
display the information differently (or aren't visual) should be able to opt 
out. The same goes for WebKit display styles.

This would be extremely helpful when running the same applications on multiple 
machines.  HardwareGrowler is one example, Dropbox is another.  At present it 
is impossible to determine which system sent the message.  It isn't even 
possible at present to determine if the message is from the local system or 
from a remote system.

Assumed this was already in the 1.2 network code and the lack of it made it 
difficult to determine if it forwarding was working or if only local 
notifications were working.

The 1.2 versions do not contain any part of this feature.

Let's do gntp in 1.3, and maybe address this there.

There is a start of this in 1.3, notifications register under <Computer Name> - 
<Application Name> for registrations received from remote machines, local 
applications are just <Application Name>, this only shows in the applications 
tab though, not in notifications

This works in 1.3. If it needs to change we can make a new ticket in a later 
version to cover what needs to be changed after everyone has some general use 
of this for a month or two. Closing ticket.
