Feature description

The Nextcloud desktop client shows several kinds of notifications in the pop-up window that is displayed when a user clicks on the system tray icon. These can be about any number of things, though the ones that I most often see are related to recent updates to Nextcloud applied server-side. I'm running nextcloud server as a snap, though this isn't directly relevant. It does, however, emit a notification each time there is an update.

As you can see, the notifications pile up, and cannot be dismissed. Nextcloud desktop client does not show an 'X' button, and in fact doesn't seem to respond to right or left clicks at all on notification entries. Sometimes, I want to check to make sure a recent file has been synced, and I have to scroll through dozens of notifications to reach the first meaningful status messages about recent files. To clear out these notifications, I have to log in to my nextcloud account in a browser, which is an unintuitive and undesirable UX.

I'd like to suggest that a mechanism to dismiss / delete notifications be integrated into the desktop client.
