Rather than inventing one “Do not show this message again.” per message in python, we now have one-time-popup tool that can be called from command line by any program / script.
Usage:
/usr/lib/msgcollector/one-time-popup /path/to/status-file “window title here” “message text here”
- If checkbox
Do not show this message again.is enabled andOKbutton pressed, the message will not be shown again. - If checkbox
Do not show this message again.is disabled andOKbutton pressed, the message will not be shown again (when the program / script that calls one-time-popup runs it). - If that status-file exists, it will not show a popup.
Now part of msgcollector package. Can be found here:
