[HELP] good old fashion notification-daemon

Hi:
I recently install Archlinux with Openbox. I'm looking for the old style notification daemon: A simple square box in the corner. Like in gnome 2. There any way to get it back?

Just give as a good old fashioned Folders Tree.

I am a RawShooter user and use the LR since the day one. I think it is an excellent piece of software and it is only going to get better.
Back to the topic. I would like to be able to see folder structure, navigate from folder to folder and see pictures in Library module. I do not want to import anything. I do not want data bases. Just let me see my folders and what's inside them. The whole deal with the data base and organizing the pictures is totally unnecessary, if you ask me.
Features like "make folder", "rename folder", "delete folder" are welcome, but not a must. Just do not forget the "Refresh" button.
Best regards,
Ivan

Dierk,
thanks for the message. You wrote:
> To ask for a feature that is counter to a program's paradigm is, at
best, not very helpful. In this case the discussion has been done
during the long public beta phase of LR.
There is no reason in my mind why we should be forced to use LR as a data base. If the LR needs a data base to work with then let the LR create one on the fly. To copy a folder structure and file names into a temporary "so called" data base should be no problem. What else would LR need to work? Thumbnails? Is that the problem? Metadata? No big deal. If RawShooter can do it than LR can do it as well.
I am a programmer myself (numerical analyst, ANSYS, Mathematica, C++, 10 years experience, working for Texas Instruments) and I have pretty good understanding how the LR works. The problem is, I think, that LR team decided what is the best for us and is forcing it down our throats. All I am asking for is: let us choose what is the way we want to use LR. Want a data base? So be it. You do not want it, fine.
Thanks for suggesting other pieces of software. I tried BBP before and I agree that it is a good tool. I own RawShooter, Bibble, Neat Image Pro+, PSE 5 and Corel PSP X. I consider myself an advanced amateur and I think that my opinion is as valuable as anybody's.
I was testing LR Beta and was loosely following the Beta discussions. A lot of people asked for what I am asking for here. LR team did something halfway and now they are trying to tell us that this is all we need and that this is all they could do about it. My point is that neither is true. This is not exactly what we need and there was more that should have been done. LR team should realize that we, the users, always have the final say. Give us what we want.
Some people here suggested that "LR is what it is and if you do not like it than do not use it". Well, I will remind them that the purpose of this forum is to ask for features that we would like LR to have.

SiND, a Simple, textbased, Notification Daemon

Alright. I've just gotten the notification daemon I've been writing into a solid spot, so I'd thought I'd share!
SiND is a [basically] freedesktop-compliant notification daemon. It receives notifications from dbus, and, well, just spits them out to stdout.
It does so in a buffered way, printing all the current notifications whenever a new one arrives or one expires.
Using the --lines option, you get a psuedo-curses program , free to display your notifications in whatever terminal you want.
This also means you can pipe it into a dzen slave window. or whatever other panel you want.
Or whatever else you want to do!
You can format how each notification is printed (app-name, summary, body, id) and you can also spit out an extra line (a... status line ) containing some extra information, like how many active notifications there are and custom strings if you get new ones. So you can stick it in your panel's title bar. Or whatever.
SiND - Github
Personally, I've never been a fan of desktop notifications, but since I can just output into any old terminal, I've found myself using it for short-term todolists and stuff using notify-send. I've also found not being tied down to a gui makes 'regular' notifications a lot less annoying, too (and you can pipe em through grep!)
Basically, I wanted to write a notification daemon that lets you do whatever you want to do to desktop notifications. If you need help making SiND do whatever you want, lemme know.

Ahh, thanks! Shoulda checked that out before. Thanks a bunch for your version.
I wont be able to update the aur pkgbuild for a day or two, so if anyone else is interested in trying this out, just try Army's pkgbuild.

Indeed! Dunst and twmnd are both really nice. I was using twmnd for a while.
I personally found myself wanting to use something even simpler, so I wrote sind, hopefully others here will enjoy the scripting capabilities of sind as well. That was my main intent in writing it.

Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

Reports 10g vs the good old days

Having been running reports from forms since the good/old client-server days, reports 10g is both a blessing and a curse. While it's certainly nice not to have to install software on each and every client box, since reports are now kept in cache on the middle tier app server until the cache hits its max size limitation, other users can issue a ?getjobid=nnn and just fish around for reports that others have run. In the good old days, a user would run a report locally on their desktop, that could be printed, and no one else could look at it. Does anyone out there know how or if a report run on the app server can be run just for the user who has access to it, and not be available to anyone who is "fishing" with getjobid? I'd really like to specify, if I could that the report be cached for just a few minutes. Essentially most of our users generate reports only needed by them and they are very dynamic in nature, so storing them isn't really necessary. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.

Use the EXPIRATION parameter to specify how long a report is kept in the cache. See the online help.

Notification-daemon: clearing the notifications queue

I'm using notification-daemon (0.7.3-1) and libnotify (0.7.4-1), calling notify-send from an external program. After several notifications have popped up (not sure of the number), they stop appearing, but still show up in the queue, which is accessible from the notification area (using GNOME 3 with xmonad). The only way I've found to clear the queue and have the notifications start appearing again is to click the "Clear Notifications" button in the system tray queue window.
You'd think notify-send would have an option to do this. I would love to just use dbus directly, but can't seem to find anything in the doc for clearing the queue (best I could find was http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/ ). The queue viewer is clearly able to do it, so there's got to be a mechanism.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
I am trying to involve someone to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Delete old KM notifications in UWL.

Hello All,
We want to delete old KM notifications in Portal UWL. These notifications are approvals and subscriptions setup on various KM folders which appear in the UWL under notifications tab. Can someone advice if there is a way we can delete these notifications.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Kalpana,
The Notification Cleanup report is probably better for you so in this scenario:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/46/f9b96a13ba2ecbe10000000a11466f/content.htm
You can enter multiple users, groups or roles when creating the report.
Kind regards,
Lorcan.

Iphone 4 - Good for Enterprise - Notifications

I am having an issue with receiving Notifications on my iPhone from my work e-mail (Good for Enterprise). I have a Corporate E-Mail plan from Verizon and Push Notifications are turned on in Settings on my iPhone. However, I am not notified when I receive email or for Calendar reminders unless I open the Good application. Any suggestions?
-Mark

Thank you for your inquiry. Adding to what was stated, perhaps you could try powering off your device to see if doing a soft reset would help the reminder email notifications to come through to your phone. Even though you have the push function enable, the opening of Good for Enterprise refreshes the connection to your email server allowing new e-mail to be sent to the device. For additional assistance, please refer to this website link: http://www.good.com/support/

I can't get rid of "my web search" while powered by google, it sux! I want good old google or google chrome

When firefox opens up, the search window on the right has My Web Search within. often, when I want GOOGLE, I get this "My Web Search", 'powered by google. My searches are terrible...MyWebSearch gives me a lot of worthless [obviously] paid-for search results.
I followed their instructions and deleted it by 'removing the program' in my control panel, etc., through the start menu. yet this lingers, and i can't find it anywhere in my computer memory to try to reemove it again.
It sux!
I want to use good old google!!
Help me get rid of it!!

hello hmsa76l79, please also go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, etc).
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customziations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Dunst - a dmenu-ish notification daemon

Hello everybody,
The information in this post is very out of date. Have a look at the homepage for a more up to date introduction.
I've spend the last day creating a simple notification-daemon. It uses the drawing code from dmenu and because of that looks a lot like it.
It can listen to notifications from libnotify or be used standalone to display messages (maybe useful in some scripts).
Originally it was suppost to be a patch for dwm and I just used the drawing code from dmenu to prevent constant restarting of dwm to test it.
But in the end i figured it would be more usefull as a standalone application.

The source is available at http://github.com/knopwob/dunst
If you're interested in this kind of notification-daemon make sure you also check out twmn .
Here are a few screenshots of dunst at work:
critic, suggestions, and so on is welcome, of course.

you've got good points here.
ninian wrote:
Aha ... you're well ahead of me there! I completely appreciate your priorities. But here are my thoughts ...
I think the two functions of Dunst need to be considered almost separately:
1) The daemon function, which for compatibility should follow the Desktop Notifications Specification as far as the Dmenu-ish programming allows (eg, probably no icons!). This would allow Dunst to be used as a lightweight drop-in replacement for notification-daemon, xfce4-notifyd, etc. In particular, notify-send should produce similar notification messages with Dunst as can be achieved with the other notification daemons (including timeout options, eg critical messages remain on screen, but others timeout with the normal defaults or whatever is specified with the -to option).
complying to specifications is always a good thing I think, we are on the same page concerning urgency-levels and timeouts. This will be implemented in the near future.
About the issue with notify-send's name being displayed. It don't like the idea of hardcoding an exception for one application. As far as I know, no other notification daemon displays the name of the Application, which sended the message. But actually I like it. So how about making it optional. I've got something like this in mind:
dunst -format "%a: %s -- %b" <-- This would be the current state
%a -> application name
%s -> summary
%b -> message body.
This way, if you don't want the application name displayed, you could change the option to something like this:
dunst -format "%s: %b"
This way only the summary and the body of the message will be displayed. As it is (as far as I know) the state with the other notification-daemons around.
ninian wrote:Having different colours for different calling applications wouldn't be of much use to me, because it's the category of message which is usually more important than the application name itself. For example, a reminders program can issue standard or urgent reminders. I might like the ordinary ones in blue, but the urgent ones in red.
Yes I agree with you that there should be a visual clue for the urgency-level of a message. I guess an additional option for the color of urgend messages would be appropriate.
At this point I think I should also think about adding a config file, because the commandline could grow fairly large if you use all the available options.
ninian wrote:
2) The direct messaging function, using -msg, can be formatted much more flexibly as it doesn't need to conform to the standard above. But as long as it produces similar results which "fit in" with the notifications produced by the Dunst daemon, I'd be happy, no matter the bells and whistles available for formatting the message.
At the moment I use dzen2 for home-made notifications, categorized by different colours and timeouts into: errors (with or without an alarm bell), warnings, information messages, standard messages. Other formal notifications (from Thunderbird, Osmo, etc) are handled by xfce4-notifyd. What I'd love is just to use Dunst for everything, probably via notify-send.
I guess this is where you found the issue about multiple messages being displayed on top of each other? As soon as I found a way to make dunst notice, that there's already a message displayed by another instance of dunst and make it act accordingly (either add the message to the existing message or add another message next to it) this should be possible.

Please help an old man

I would like to sell my Iphone 5, but cannot because i cannot access my second ID. Can anyone help an old man??

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove the email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Only the person who owns an account can remove a device from it. You have no way of contacting that person ?

Notipy: A minimalistic gtk3 notification daemon written in python.

Hello fellow archers,
with noteo seemingly dead and all other available notification daemons being
more or less tightly coupled to a window manager, I thought it would be cool
to have a (hopefully) worthy successor.
Introducing notipy:
As its github page states, notipy is an implementation of the
Desktop Notification Specification. It shows message popups using gtk3, allowing
for pango marked up message bodies and icons that can be specified in various
ways.
For more information, please refer to the github page. I hope some people will
find it helpful. Any comments, feature requests or bug reports should go either
to this thread or directly to github.
Kind greetings!

Same issue with -d. Also, I think you have your east and west mixed up.
Thanks for the hints. Wonder why that didn't occur to me during testing, but I
can definitely reproduce it. Will fix it soon, tomorrow, if not today.
Also thanks for the compliment about the comments. I'm trying to code up to what
my software-engineering professor used to hammer into our heads:
"THE CODE IS NOT YOURS! So write code that is readable by others, too."
Lastly, I just noted that the notipy package should probably provide
notification-daemon. I will add that to the PKGBUILD for the next version.
