Exclusions from "New activity flashes taskbar"

Hi All,

I wonder if soneone might give me some help with this. I use the "New Activity flashes taskbar" feature. However there is some routine output which I wish to exclude from that. I still want to display that traffic in the window, but not cause the taskbar to flash as it's not "interesting traffic".

I expect it will need a script to regexp match the routine output display it and stop, and otherwise display other output and if the window is not at the front flash the task bar.

Any help you can offer me would be welcome.

With regards,

Frank.

There is no particularly easy way to do that at present. However I have added a new function FlashIcon into version 4.41. This lets you manually flash the taskbar icon.

What you could do then is, turn off the general option, so it doesn't normally flash. Then with judicious selection of triggers and trigger sequences, make it so that uninteresting input does not flash the taskbar, but other input does. (Or, it might be simpler to just have interesting input flash it, eg. something that is a chat).
