Feature request: disable notification if "friend pc" is not reachable

Open leaumar opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Yesterday I gave "friend computers" a try. It works very nicely, albeit the settings screen doesn't have the clearest labels IMO. But then I found that if a friend pc is offline when you do a copy, you get an error notification for it. I looked for a setting to disable this, but couldn't find it. I turned off notifications for ditto altogether, which feels like overkill since I now might miss notifications I'd actually want to see (clipboard errors or some such). And windows being the well-designed product it is, I now can't re-enable ditto notifications anymore...

I feel there should be an option to disable "friend unreachable" notifications. Another pc being sometimes online sometimes offline, i.e. just wanting sync to work whenever both are online and fail quietly otherwise, doesn't seem like an odd usecase. This could be a global or per-friend setting. Disabling notifications altogether is an overkill workaround.

Thanks

I finally got the notification settings fixed and enabled ditto to create them again. It seems it's already programmed to only notify once as long as the process runs. This makes the error message a lot less intrusive and this feature less needed. 🙂
