Notification plugin was just doing the work it's supposed to do. If you plan to incorporate lots of new messages and don't want to be notified just disable notifications or unload the plugin temporarily. I still believe that this is definitely not a desired behavior. At the very least, IMHO the RSS plugin should disable the notifications during the import process.

The opposite belief is equally valid. Somebody could want to be notified of new messages during import to be sure the import is done correctly, specially if the number of messages is low or just because a less obtrusive notification method is being used. Anyway AFAIK there's no API in the notification plugin to allow other plugins to fiddle with its settings, so for this you need this API first. Functionally, reporting of a succesful import is not a job of hundreds of popups. It's obvious that all these new articles would be unread and the notification for each of the folders is not that urgent. In my opinion, a single popup box (or even a dialog, as - again - it's not urgent) should be enough of a notification. The popup spamming basically renders the program unusable until the importing is done and affects general OS's GUI experience as we get a lot of popups in the screen's corner. If you tell the Notification plugin to notify you of new messages in RSS folders, and new messages appear in RSS folders, it notifies you. This is correct and expected behaviour. Notification flood prevention is a topic for the daemon. |
