Repeating Sound notification for present unread message. #771

Open Aeon1704 opened 4 years ago

Aeon1704 commented 4 years ago

Simple suggestion to add support of periodic notification if unread message is present in 1 on 1 chat.

Right know it is only one sound on 'message received'. It gives a really high chance to miss the message, while user away from PC, or working in fulllscreen apps ( not to mention afk with fullscreen app :) ).

Instead of sending one-time sound on received, sending sound notification, for example, every 5 mins will make sure that message will not be missed.

P.s. Maybe i am missing something. But i did check all plugins, including 'Watcher' and haven't found anything similar. I think it will be worth adding.

Program icon in system tray is changed when you have unread messages. Depending on system it may be configured even to blinking periodically.

What version of Psi+ are you using? In which operation system?

Icon works only if you have no fullscreen apps ( video, games, video call ). If you are in fullscreen mode on whatever application, you can miss sound by accident ( away from PC, loud sound ) and not notice unread message for sometime. And Psi+ doesn't have overlay, unlike Trillian.

On my cellphone, i've scripted Xabber notification activities for periodic sound notification using Automate. Works like charm. Even suggested same to developers to make it build-in feature. As Xabber, Psi+ seems to lack that too.

When you have unread messages, they are displayed in the roster window using a special row, or in front of contact nickname in squared brackets

I believe he means something like "let's show notification popup again if message is not opened after N minutes"

Vitozz commented 4 years ago

@Ri0n you know that this behavior is not supported by any of OS

@Ri0n has worked on sound recently, maybe he has looked this ticket too...
