New notifications system feedback

[trundlr]

Just opening up a thread for feedback on the new notifications in the editor. It's a cool feature but it's just a bit much to me at the moment.

• IMO it should not appear above my desktop by default. Maybe add a setting to allow for this but turn it off by default?
• Give us the option to turn off various types of notifications - such as warnings and errors
• Give us the option to turn it off entirely - some people just won't want it and that's perfectly fine
• When it populates a lot of text, the animation becomes very choppy while the text loads in. The animations should probably not be choppy at all. But either way, give us an option to turn off the animations completely. To me, they are distracting.

It looks pretty. I don't like the current location for it. One workflow where it got annoying was...

1. I'd copy a couple of files (i.e .html, .scss, etc.)
2. The "failed to compile" popup would happen after the files copied over
3. I'd have to wait for the popup to leave before I could access the new files I copied over (since the folder/file list is on the left side in VSCODE)

FYI you can right click them to dismiss

An option to pick where on the screen these appear would be nice.

I also think these notifications suffer from multiple desktop issues, like most editor stuff. I have actually switched my hobby dev PC to one bigger monitor just to alleviate these issues, but I would love to use multiple again.

So plan right now

• Don't show initial startup builds - unless there are errors
• Change max warnings/errors to show to 5
• Allow selecting which corner to show them at
• Allow only showing compile popups when failed
