Issue APSTUD-4439: using the linux nofity daemon for information popups
Hi friends, it would be very helpful if you could trigger the linux notification system every time an important event is fired. Example: Sync complete, Upload complete, Download complete, ... . Triggering the notify daemon is realy simple, just run the shell command notify-send followed by the text you want to display. {code}notify-send "File Upload complete"{code} If you add the option -i you can specify the path to an icon, witch is displayed left next to the text. In my case i use the icon.xpm from the original Aptana folder. {code}notify-send -i /home/leo/Tools/Aptana\ Studio\ 3/icon.xpm "File Upload complete"{code} If you want, you also can add the -t param and a display duration in ms. But the normal default is great. {code}notify-send -i /home/leo/Tools/Aptana\ Studio\ 3/icon.xpm -t 20000 "File Upload complete"{code} Thats it, simple, pretty and very usefull because you never miss an status event. I addet you some screenshots where you can see what happens if you do this. Thanks and greetings Leo
