FB PopUps: one for all #75

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Im using Facebook Protocol Plugin.

Would be possible that, instead of getting a flood of FB notification popups 
(on login), to show only one, with a "next" option? that would roll to the next 
notification? 

That would allow to review the recent events from the popups (right now, flood 
of popups doesnt really allow that), one by one, and click on any desired event 
when interest.

Hope the feedback helps.

I think Miranda (fb plugin) should not try to replace fb website. 
This is imho unnecessarily and there is much important things to do...
(just my opinion, maybe jarvis has a different...)

I agree with you in that is not the idea to replace the site, the issue here 
however, is not even close to that. In fact I think that you misunderstood the 
report, and hence why you believe this is unnecesary. 

When a given amount of time passes without loging in to FB, events accumulate, 
and on log-in with Miranda, the number of events popups turns the feature into 
a useless annoyance.

I'd like to also remark that what Im asking for is present feature in Digsby, 
that points to avoid the very problem Im describing in this Issue.

Yes, I see what you mean :)

I just think... who want to notify fb events after miranda start?
 - as you said, there is huge amount of events on startup, so one option is your request...
 but when you look at that events - they are old (from past minutes or hours), so when someone want to see these old events, they should open the website (thats why i wrote about "dont replace website")...
  - so my solution is to dont notify these old events on startup, but notify only what is happening right now (new events) - what do you think?

Well, I think I undesrtand what you mean.

Your solution is pragmatic in a way, and I admit is an improvement from what we 
have today, but *far* from ideal. Is a high price for those of us that are used 
to work the other way.

In a sense, is not really a matter of what "should be done", but a matter of 
different ways of work. I've migrated back from Digsby, but I must confess that 
what it offers in terms of FB events feels much more conformtable, hence my 
proposal.

So in summary, I would feel more comfortable by knowing that your approach is a 
short term solution, until the moment for giving this a better one.
