transient=off not working

[gour]

Hello!

Thank you very much for the only Weechat notification script which does work and helps me to migrate from Hechat to tui client!

I'm running mxlinux/xfce and would like to keep missed notification in the Xfce's notication bar, but just using

'transient': (
        'off',
        'When a notification expires or is dismissed, remove it from the '
        'notification bar.'
    ),

does not help and I had to do:

#631    return weechat.config_get_plugin('transient') == 'off'

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi. My guess is that you have changed the option only in the script, but not in WeeChat. The values in the script are used as the default ones when loading the script for the very first time. They are not meant to be edited. Instead, to change the value of an option, you have to run /set plugins.var.python.notify_send.OPTION VALUE within WeeChat.

Could you please try removing the custom changes from the notify_send.py file, starting WeeChat, disabling transient notifications by running /set plugins.var.python.notify_send.transient off, and see whether this fixes the issue?

Correct.

Thank you for educating me! :smile:

This solves it as well as #30 - it was the same issue. :disappointed:

Great! I am glad that both issues have been resolved. :slightly_smiling_face:

Solved by changing the plugins.var.python.notify_send.transient configuration option in WeeChat.
