[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Bug#723833: owncloud-client: "Show Desktop Notifications" setting inoperant

[Roland Mas]

Package: owncloud-client
Version: 1.4.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

The "Show Desktop Notifications" checkbox in the owncloud sync client
results in the setting being saved, but it doesn't appear to have any
real effect on the actual notifications: they keep popping up on session
start and whenever something is synced from the server.  A quick read in
the code reveals that the setting is only checked in the
Application::slotShowOptionalTrayMessage method (in
src/mirall/application.cpp), but that function is never called; instead,
all notifications go to Application::slotShowTrayMessage.  In other
words, there is code to make some notifications optional, but none of
the notifications are actually marked as such.

This seems to still be the case in current upstream git.

Roland.
