An array of screenshots that show the proposed feature in action.
SUMMARY
I propose changes to the Notifications widget that would make it tidier and
leaner by grouping some notifications together and truncating others that are
useless.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run an application such as qBittorrent or a media player (Spotify, for
example).
2. Observe qBittorrent and your media player put out several notifications one
after another (spaced apart by at least 10-15 seconds).
3. Shower, rinse, repeat.
OBSERVED RESULT
Each notification is discrete. If there are many, and there often are, they
start to pile up in the notification popup. While this isn't much of an issue
for qBittorrent in this current example, the buildup of useless notifications
put out by media players results in a lot of needless scrolling.
EXPECTED RESULT
The qBittorrent notifications are grouped under a single notification (in the
notification popup as well) that carries the time stamp of the latest
notification.
The media player notifications are not grouped. Instead, the latest
notification is placed in the notification popup and the notifications that
were displayed before it are removed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See https://store.kde.org/p/1227099, a really good implementation of this idea.
And the notifications themselves are aesthetically pleasing.
