            Bug ID: 464107
           Summary: Add a general mute option for all notifications of an
                    app, regardless of event channel.
    Classification: Applications
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.26.5
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_notify
          Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de

  Target Milestone: ---

Currently you can only mute the events of an app seperately, but there is no
button that just mutes all notifications from that app, regardless of event
channel. This would be especially useful for apps that don't have event
channels implemented. Currently you can't mute their notifications at all.

Real world use case:

Apparently Spotify shows notifications on track change, that some people might
want to see, but don't want their music interrupted by it. Spotify hasn't
implemented event channels, and Plasma does not expose an option to mute all
notifications for an app. (Relevant reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/106kpc3/nobara_best_way_to_mute_notifications_for_one/)

Some apps that have event channels implemented, have a lot of them. Users might
want to mute/unmute all of them in one click. 

I personally would like to mute notifications from telegram, which also has not
implemented event channels, but I'd still like to see them. I don't want to
mute notifications for all apps, because other applications might have more
important notifications I want to be alerted to with sound.

The solutions I see are

1. the obvious: adding a "mute this app" checkbox in the per app notification
settings

2. this might be worth considering: adding an "all" event to every app, also to
those without event channels. This has the benefit that other options like "log
to a file" also become available.
