Minimum checking interval of 5 min

[mgiorgino]

First, I would like to thank you for this application. I had thought about making my own one when I found out that the obsolete plasmoid was buggy, but then you have shown me yours which is great and really modular. I have this question though:

Why is the email checking minimum interval limited to 5 min ? I could understand any reason but I would like to hear yours.

By the way, the application stops after the warning shown when we try to modify the checking interval under 5min. I think it could at least make it raising up back to 5 min and continue to run.

Just checked and the application indeed seem to quit after the warning.That is a bug and will fix it shortly.

Well,an interval of zero makes no sense since an event to check for mail will be sent before the previous event has the chance to complete.There has a to a minimum internal and i arbitrarily picked 5 minutes but any value greater than zero will do.

What minimum interval do you prefer?

[mgiorgino]

I think 1 would be a perfect integer greater than 0 ;-). This would avoid to limit users as well as being enough to ensure the correctness of the application.

Thanks for your FAST answers and actions.

Just made a commit and a minimum interval is now one minute with the git version.
The application will now also not quit after the warning.

closing this bug report as discussed issues are now resolved.

Just though i should write to inform you that i just made a commit that allows the kde build to also have multiple instances.

If you are ok with the Qt build then you can stay with it,but if you are on KDE then the KDE build is better since it produces a nicer tool tip bubble.

You will have to modify the the project ".desktop" file to add the nencessary "-i" option.The desktop file should be located at "/usr/share/applications/qCheckGMail.desktop"

Ok, thank you !

But I now think it would be rather impractical as it seems to me they are
impossible to order or to make them distinct.
Perhaps it would be great to be able to change the icon, but it was as fine
as I used it finally.

Great job, thank you !

The latest code in git also supports profiles.

For example,let say you have two accounts and you want one icon to keep track of one account and the other icon to keep track of the other account,you can create two profiles by adding something like below in the config file

profile1=account1
profile2=account2

Multiple accounts can be added to the same profile by separating them with a comma.
Then you start qCheckGMail with:

qCheckGMail -i -p profile1
qCheckGMail -i -p profile2

The first instance will only keep track and show "account1" and the second will do the same only for "account2".

I added these abilities for somebody who has multiple accounts and want to keep track of only a subset of them.

Configuring icon color by profiles is something i have though about havent looked into yet.

Anyway,i just though of informing you these new developments since they reflected some discussions we had.

Thanks, looks promising. I tried it and it works well.
