Scroll up not working without dunstify

[thomas-forbes]

When you don't have dunstify installed the scroll up functionality described in the readme doesn't work. This is because when you ./polybar-timer.sh increase 60 you get ./polybar-timer.sh: line 20: dunstify: command not found and an error which means it will create a new timer overwriting the increase.

Yes. That is also more or less mentioned in the README:

Inside the script dunstify is called to view the mentioned notification for the expiry time. But this is not necessary. (Just beautiful.) If you do not use Dunst then still everything (but the preview of the expiry time) will work fine without dependencies.

In that case you would have to edit the script yourself. I want to keep it as simple as possible, so I'm not going to introduce a config or anything.

For example you can modify the printExpiryTime and deleteExpiryTime functions so that they do nothing:

printExpiryTime () { :; }
deleteExpiryTime () { :; }

I will also add a link to this to the README, thank you.

Since the newest update it's 3 lines you have to edit:

printExpiryTime () { :; }
printPaused () { :; }
removePrinting () { :; }

I've got syntax error after editing these lines.

Thanks, I've edited it. Now it should work.

Why not use notify-send?

[jbirnick]

Look at this screen recording:

The notification is updated when you scroll. This is not possible with notify-send. With notify-send you could only spam new notifications, and then you suddenly have 50 notifications on your desktop.

EDIT: Oh wait, it seems like notify-send can do this nowadays?! Then I might replace this soon.
