and whats that good for? im must say i hate these annoying popups, while im doing something im not in mood to be interrupted with. most they carry with is advertising content, or whatever is not particularly essential...


I'm also not a fan, especially where they're abused (avast antivirus, adobe reader, system update notifications every time you logon...)

Thankfully Adobe doesn't support Amigalikes, we don't use antivirus etc.
Stripped of the abuse, and offered in a user configurable way (as you'd expect with Amiga software), I've actually come to like Magicbeacon (the MorphOS equivalent notification system by Geit), despite my initial misgivings about whether I wanted or had use for it.

even simpler solution is just skip on it all together. right.


I think you'll find my post does cover that option already.

With Ringhio you can disable notifications on a per-application basis, so if something is spamming you it's easy to stop it.

That's good to hear (although i'd personally like the option of whitelisting - ban all except as specified).

I suppose that they need the Application.library then which AFAIK is not available for Amiga.
I wonder how many part of the AmigaOS 4.x is own by individuals.

The security system for my office uses several dozen IP cameras, a server to run the application, and a NAS for storage.  It uses those type of "no user interaction required" pop-up notifications to alert "camera such-and-such has detected motion".  For me as the IT guy, it's annoying as heck whenever I need to go on there to configure something.  However if we paid a guy to sit there and monitor those all day long, I can see where they'd be very helpful.  So, good luck with the software!  :)

Ringhio has always been part of OS4 (since OS4.1 update 1, according to Wikipedia).
