Application categories on registration #215

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When an application registers, it should be able to define what kind of 
application it is.

We have a few categories of applications. Different applications have different 
kinds of notification requirements. Most notably, the difference between a chat 
application is and an ftp client are pretty apparent. For instance, users of 
chat applications may want a notification if the application is in the 
foreground and there is a message in a backgrounded window in the application. 
Users of ftp clients may not.

We should account for this, and allow application developers to register with a 
choice of a small selection of application categories. I don't know that we 
need more than 5 or 6 on the whole. If an application does not select, then we 
need to provide a default (i.e. if they are using an older framework version, 
or they simply don't care about this sort of thing).

The main purpose of this is to account for different application types as 
brought up in ticket #113

Chat (or Social), Networking, System, General.

Chat = Adium, Trillian, Colloquy, etc.
Networking = Transmit, Transmission, etc.
System = hwGrowler, PathFinder, etc.
General = everything else, including users of legacy frameworks

I'd suggest “Undefined” for the catch-all category.
