rare: if we use kdialog for wait_for only shows notification about easybashgui HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @mckaygerhard !

Unfortunately "kdialog" (despite is a KDE tool ) is one of more limited widget of EBG ones.
In fact, it has (or "had", I don't know if now this feature there is actually ) not a "wait" function.

The only function that seems (rather distantly ) a "wait" is the notification.
Unfortunately kdialog notification has a strange behavior: that is sometimes notifications are repeated several times.

In my opinion is a "bug" (?) related to kdialog.

if anyone could help me to undrstand better the issue, I would thank him very much...

ok lest leave this issue open by now.. maybe someone will found a better way to solve it or improve it.. (currently is working not perfect but works)

Hi @mckaygerhard

It could be useful, about this issue if you do this test (I don't have KDE )

• in a KDE desktop, in a terminal:
  source easybashgui; wait_for "This is a 40 sec test..."; sleep 40; terminate_wait_for

-in a different desktop (GNOME, LXQt, whatever ), in a terminal:
export supermode=kdialog; source easybashgui; wait_for "This is a 40 sec test..."; sleep 40; terminate_wait_for

Let me know...

I'm closing this issue for two reasons:

1. since Kdialog doesn't have any "wait_for"-like option, I used notification option (iterate every a certain amount of seconds -I remember 20 sec, hope i'm not wrong-; so... it's normal to have a notification, every, let's say, 20 seconds... (not a bug)
2. a not normal behavior happens actually sometimes: all this notification are showed all together: this is not related to EBG though, it's related to system notification process instead (in fact, same issue appears even to different kind of notifications -e.g.: weather forecast, system notifications, etc. - )

ok no problem.. if someone has similar problem here will be a refence
