  • Notification command cyclic behavior

    From meshparts@alexandru.dadalau@meshparts.de to comp.lang.tcl on Fri Jan 9 17:21:36 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.tcl

    This screenshot https://www.meshparts.de/download/tcltk-notify.png shows
    two notifications that were create with same command but they are different.

    It seems that the "Info" icon (the big I) is hidden every two notifications.

    Could this be a bug of the way the new notification command in
    implemented for Windows?

    These are the basic commands:

    tk systray create -image logo_16 -text MESHPARTS
    package require sysnotify
    ::sysnotify::Send $textmessage "Info"

    P.S.: I could not attache a simple PNG file to this message using
    Thunderbird. Is this a known issue?

    Regards

    eternal-september doesn't allow any binaries at all, not even small
    widely supported ones. I do not know whether that's a good idea or not.
    It doesn't even allow vCards and they're not even binary.

    once upon a time I might have put it on an ftp server and included an
    ftp URI with a sunset date but the government here seems to have the
    ISPs DoSsing internet services left right and centre.

    It is known, but not an "issue". USENET text newsgroups don't allow
    binary postings, which rules out all forms of attachments (i.e.,
    automated attachments, creative types /can/ work around some of the restriction but doing so is a manual process for both sender and all receivers).

    And this restriction has been the norm on USENET for just about
    forever.

    The above code isn't part of the tk sysnotify command, so I'm not sure
    what it's doing.

    Thank you for pointing that out.
    Indeed, I forgot that this command is a wapper around the actual command:

    tk sysnotify "Info" $textmessage

    But the issue stays the same.
    When the above command is repeated the icon corresponding to the "Info"
    option is shown or not shown.
