Do Not Disturb: Timeout feature

[bostrt]

Is it possible to add a timeout feature that automatically drops you out of do-not-disturb?

I only add new features to the lastest version of the extension because the gnome shell is a moving target. If you are using gnome shell version 3.28 or 3.30 I will look into doing a timeout.

I think you are asking for an interval timeout. A timeout user preference could be provided settable in hours and minutes. At startup if the extension state is busy the timer would start or if the state is set to busy by the user the timer would start. The timer would be stopped if the state changed from busy to available. If the timer expires the state would be changed from busy to available by the extension.

If this is what you want let me know. If so I will look at the code this weekend. I don't expect it to be very difficult.

I'm on Fedora 28 and gnome-shell 3.28 :)

Yes! Your explanation is spot on what I am looking for.

@bostrt I have most of the code written. If I can find time it should be done by the end of the week. The review queue on extensions.gnome.org is very long and no extensions have been reviewed in weeks. I will provide you a zip file when I have it working if you don't mind running un-reviewed code.
