Injecting hints from script

[jmfernandez]

Which is the JSON message to be printed by a transformation script to translate a bare notification containing a number in either its title or its body to an one where a progress bar appears? I have been following the example in the README. I have tried setting up percentage in a message similar to next:

{
    "modify": {
         "percentage": 15,
         "body": "15%"
    },
    "match": {
    }
}

with no success.

Any hints? Thanks in advance!

Hey, currently modifying hints is not supported.

A PR is always welcome though ;)

A dirty hack I could imagine to get what you want would be to set transient to false to hide the notification from the notification center, set timeout to 1 to prevent it from showing as a pop-up (1 is a special value for this, I think). So basically hide the notification completly. Then in the next step you could send you own notification through notify-send.py with the hints as needed. But, it's a pretty dirty hack 😅

Although I'm used to program in several programming languages and their ecosystems, sadly, Haskell is not among them. Last time I read Haskell code was when I was attending CS courses at the university more than 20 years ago, and I know nothing about its ecosystem, so I'm a bit useless, sorry.

And yes, I already realized about that dirty trick you are proposing, but as I felt ... dirty 😅 I wrote this issue asking.

In any case, thanks!
