--- Comment #41 from usr_40476 <usr_40...@icloud.com> --- I desperately need this feature back, because my entire room is automated by my notification triggered commands, (IE, flash lights when on error or turn on fan for 5 minutes on unlock) "I guess the lesson to take away from this is to never become reliant on any KDE feature because someone might rip it out on a whim for not being the theoretically perfect implementation, even if it doesn't cause any problems in its current state." EXACTLY. "Which – in the light of the other bugs and regressions reported by me — at least for me shortens to: 'Never rely on KDE anymore.' " Unfortunately so… "A single person blocks the repair of a regression against the expressed wishes and well-founded use-cases of numerous users and several developers advocating the repair. IMHO Open Source Software is commons (in the sense of the original agricultural concept) and such despotic ruling of a single person over the wishes and needs of many is not acceptable." Very true, I cannot even begin to describe how betrayed I felt when this feature was removed. This is completely unnacceptable. For me, this is probably one of my most used KDE features, I used it for everything from automating to audio cues to changing my theme and window styling when I launch games. I don’t like the direction KDE has been going with all these removals lately, and there is no telling what they might do next. I want to support and praise the developers, but it is hard to do so when my most beloved features are being ruthlessly ripped away from me. I did see in the commit logs on Invent, that it may be getting re-added but who knows when that will happen. Since it was promised to be re-added in 6.1, but never made it into the update, maybe I will spin up an Arch Linux .ISO to see if it got re-added. > On Oct 1, 2024, at 8:53 AM, Flossy Cat <bugzilla_nore...@kde.org> wrote: > > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481069 > > --- Comment #39 from Flossy Cat <flossy-...@online.de> --- > (In reply to Andreas Schneider from comment #38) >> The merge request has been closed :-( >> >> https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/knotifications/-/merge_requests/143 > > Thank you for the information – and thank you very much for your spirited > effort to re-establish that valuable functionality. > > As "the dunce" had so nicely put it in the "invent" discussion thread: > > "I guess the lesson to take away from this is to never become reliant on any > KDE feature because someone might rip it out on a whim for not being the > theoretically perfect implementation, even if it doesn't cause any problems in > its current state." > > Which – in the light of the other bugs and regressions reported by me – at > least for me shortens to: > "Never rely on KDE anymore." > > A single person blocks the repair of a regression against the expressed wishes > and well-founded use-cases of numerous users and several developers advocating > the repair.
