Description

AMC takes quite some time in processing Automatic Data capture and Annotations of papers. During this time I do some other work which usually involves me browsing the Internet!!

The thing is I have to repeatedly stop my work and check whether the data capture and annotations have been completed or not. It will be better if AMC has some sort of a Desktop Notification system which notifies us when the data capture and annotations have been completed similar to when Firefox shows a notification when all Downloads have been completed.

After some searching on the internet I have found that the notify-send command can be used to create a Desktop Notification. I have attached a sample shell script which can be used to generate the notification.

Here is a perl version of the notification system which generates the same output. It maybe helpful for you. I have attached a perl script which implements this to generate notifications.

Maybe make a note in the change log, because of the dependency change. This version (subversion 1300) would not install without previously installing libgtk2-notify-perl (test on ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS).

The notification works.

In my case, I would like it for all the processing tasks, including the Update documents conmmand.

Because we tend to use a different machine to process all our exams on, an audible notification would help too. This would require a notification sound file option in the settings. (Full path).

It should install and run without installing Gtk2::Notify (but then the notification simply does not show).

Since revision r1302, you can choose for which action AMC will issue notifications, and you can add a notification command (something like "play /path/to/sound_file" should make AMC talk to you)

Thank you for implementing this feature. I liked the option of a notification command. Now one can also listen to the notifications using the command "espeak ' %m'".

There is one thing which I noticed. The notification for completed annotations is shown even when annotated pages are being grouped together.

Maybe you can show the notification after the student papers have been grouped.

You're right. This should be fixed with revision r1377.
