Bug ID: 493760
Summary: Feature Request: Show notification badges for SMS
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: messaging-application
Assignee: si...@ergotech.com
Reporter: hyperr...@moonshadow.dev
Target Milestone: ---
It would be very nice to have the KDEConnect SMS app show notification badges
when new text messages are received.
I have an Android phone and currently use Google Messages for Web in Firefox
with the tab badge extension. There are currently no other viable solutions for
using text messaging on my desktop PC, and using Google Messages on my Android
(GrapheneOS) phone is really the only thing preventing me from deleting my
Google account (which is desirable for hopefully obvious reasons). If we can
get notification badges on the KDEConnect SMS icon in the taskbar, I can ditch
Google Messages and use GrapheneOS's default messaging app on the phone with
KDEConnect SMS on the desktop.
I don't know much about KDE Plasma development, or KDEConnect development
specifically, so I may be wrong, but it seems like a somewhat trivial feature
to add that could potentially benefit more people than me. I'm sure I'm not the
only one who would want this feature. I noticed that the option for "show
notification badge" for KDEConnect SMS is grayed out, so maybe this was already
attempted and there is a technical reason that it wasn't implemented? Or maybe
it's already planned?
