Blink1Control email notification logic change

Open dcbd127 opened this issue 11 years ago • 4 comments

Currently the email notification in Blink1Control triggers when new email is detected. Can the logic be changed to show new and no new mail? For example, if there is new email, it sets the notification. If there is no new email, it resets the notification.

@doug8429 Im trying to understand why do you want this....... I use also the Blink1Control for Email Cheking in different accounts without any problem...............

Do you mean, that you have your "new email blink" patterns set to infinite loop and..... you need a reset event when there is no new email?

I want to help if I can Thanks :)

@goyetus Maybe I haven't setup my events correctly or I'm not describing behavior I want. If I get new email, I want the Blink1 to continuously flash green. After I read my new email, the Blink1 should turn off. Does this make sense?

Thanks for the quick response!

I tested it and you are right.

If you set a infinite loop for incoming mail, it doesnt stop if Mail is readed............ only way to stop I see is the "reset alerts" option.

It could be great to STOP the pattern loop linked to Incoming Email (A reset alets will not be optimal for other triggers) ............

Im no expert at QT develop, but I will try to help if I can , about 2-3 weeks im seeing the QT code of Blink1Control.....

Better to notify @todbot meanwhile :)

Is there a way to configure this alert to only trigger if there is new mail and reset the alert if there is not? One easy (maybe) way to do this would be to always reset the alert before checking for new mail. Could this be added as an enhancement? I have a standalone script that does this for the mk1, but I haven't had any success in adding it to the Blink1Control tools section. Are there any example scripts for the tools section? Thanks.
