I've written a program that uses Notify-OSD but occasionally messages from my app will stack up in the queue. I've read about Notify-OSD merging However, it doesn't do this automatically - how can I get my application to merge notifications so they don't stream in one at a time?
You can concatenate related notifications bubbles by setting the hint string x-canonical-append to true.
from gi.repository import Notify
Notify.init('test')
n = Notify.Notification.new('Summary', 'Line 1', 'dialog-information')
n.set_hint_string('x-canonical-append', 'true')
n.show()
n = Notify.Notification.new('Summary', 'Line 2', 'dialog-information')
n.set_hint_string('x-canonical-append', 'true')
n.show()
