[6.12] disable autoclosing new notifications

Notifications auto-close after 3 seconds.

You can view all notifications under Tools -> Archived Notifications

 

Changed Status to Closed

Changed Priority to Other

In 6.11.5, if i have been away for a couple of days and check the notifications in the webui I can read them all and then dismiss them with one click.

 

In 6.12 i have to do 16 clicks and some tiny mouse movements to view and acknowledge the 3 different notifications types.
OR 2 clicks to archived notifications and read the timestamps and try to remember the last notification i read, and then still need to do 6 clicks to acknowledge the 3 types.

 

Making this timer just 3 seconds feels almost useless since if the webui is in another tab you will almost never catch the notification when it triggers, and you would have to check the bell icon anyway.

 

idk just feels like a weird thing to make rigid unless this auto-close behavior is the only "fix" for the reappearing notifications problem.

I don't like it either. I want the notifications to stay on screen until I

dismiss them. Also, not usable when using mobile devices.

Like it or not, but this isn't a bug. The implementation works as intended.

 

You can always make a feature request and explain how to improve.

I have decided I like the new behaviour but would like the timeout to be longer (possibly something like 10 seconds) Maybe it IS worth making the timeout configurable (with 0 meaning no timeout) to satisfy both camps?
