From 516a3642796563bcc7a13cd02795de3077a861b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nate Graham Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 09:27:36 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Turn on popups for device notifications Part of https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/149 These notifications are a useful way to communicate to the user that their device isn't dead and was actuallt detected. Currently we have only sounds turned on, and no popups. This problematic for accessibility because deaf people won't hear the sound. For this reason, EU Directive 2019/882 requires that all sound-based notifications be accompanied by something visual as well. Let's turn on popups to comply with that. We did some work to make the popups not annoying, including: - Not appearing in the history - Removing the connection notification when disconnected (and vice versa) - Removing the notification when it's for a USB disk and the Disks & Devices widget appears automatically. --- plasma_workspace.notifyrc | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/plasma_workspace.notifyrc b/plasma_workspace.notifyrc index 7b9311d..4394192 100644 --- a/plasma_workspace.notifyrc +++ b/plasma_workspace.notifyrc @@ -2380,7 +2380,7 @@ Comment[uk]=Було з'єднано пристрій Comment[x-test]=xxA device was plugged inxx Comment[zh_CN]=已插入一个设备 Comment[zh_TW]=有裝置剛被插入 -Action=Sound +Action=Popup|Sound Sound=device-added Urgency=Low @@ -2465,6 +2465,6 @@ Comment[uk]=Було від'єднано пристрій Comment[x-test]=xxA device was unpluggedxx Comment[zh_CN]=已拔出一个设备 Comment[zh_TW]=有裝置剛被拔出 -Action=Sound +Action=Popup|Sound Sound=device-removed Urgency=Low -- GitLab
