Notifications in digiKam question

[Dmitri Popov-2]

Hello,

digiKam makes it possible to assign commands to notifications. For
example, I can run a command on the "Save file complete" notification.
But is it possible to pass the name of the file to the command?

Thanks,
Dmitri

yes, the in fact the event notifier is a string + metadata (optional).

It's possible to pass something like "File %1 save completed" for ex, with %1 the file name as argument. In background, QString container is used.

The code relevant for image editor is here :

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/utilities/imageeditor/main/imagewindow.cpp#n964

and here :

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/utilities/imageeditor/main/imagewindow.cpp#n1062

DNotificationWrapper class is used and it re-route the notification to right object from the desktop depending of operating systm.

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/libs/notificationmanager/dnotificationwrapper.h

So, everywhere in DK, this class is used to notify an event. Patching all call can be easy to do.
