Just out of curiosity, where did you find the option to disable "File transfers and jobs"? I can't find it in system settings -> "Application and System Notifications".. And i can't find another place to change notification settings. I was expecting a right mouse button on the notification bubble to give me a "Notification Settings" but there is nothing like that. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
