Support timeout #43

Closed frakman1 closed 5 years ago

Currently, the notification remains on-screen indefinitely until I close it by pressing the "Close" button.

It would be nice if there was a time-out command-line option that allows me to auto-dismiss it after a configurable amount of time. The project alerter supports this feature. I would have used alerter except it doesn't allow for a custom icon to replace the ugly terminal default icon.

@frakman1 unfortunately you're again dealing with the OS here. So that's why some notification tools just create their own dialogs and system; the macOS notification system is entirely controlled by Apple. Even then, our ability to consistently put buttons on and keep a notification persistent are due to using a private API that we're not supposed to know about.

It would be nice if we got more control, then it would be possible to make a one-notification-to-rule-them-all tool! Sorry!
