Get desktop notification on download completion #393

Closed wmortume closed 2 months ago

wmortume commented 2 months ago

It would be helpful to add an option on the configure tab to get a notification from the desktop notification panel when a file has finished downloading. This would be very handy for big files that take time to download.

What operating system are you using?

wmortume commented 2 months ago

@mhogomchungu I'm on Windows 11 (64-bit Pro)

The functionality just landed but will require manually changing a config option because there is no room in the UI for more options.

@mhogomchungu Would that be in a json config file and when is it getting released? In the GUI you can add a small checkbox/toggle option for notifications but I guess that could be skipped for another time.

Look at the "App Data Path" in your Media Downloader app and then go to that path and in it, you will see a folder named "settings". All settings are in a file that is located inside the folder.

There is no more room for options in the GUI and there are a lot of options that are already in the config file and are waiting to be added to the GUI.

The next version will be out on May 1st, 2024.
