Conflict Files: Consider to add a Notification about them

[dragotin]

Expected behaviour

If there is a conflict file, the user should be informed about. That happens through a toast message and an entry in the Not synced list. #3222

However, with the next sync run, the Not synced list is wiped, so that the conflict entries are lost. The next sync can happen quite soon after the conflict happened.

Maybe the conflicts should become notifications which only go away after the user clicked on "Close", similar to the notifications that we get from the server if a remote share happens.

Alternatively we could add code which lets the conflict entry not go away for a certain time span.

Actual behaviour

Currently, if a conflict happens, a tray notification pops up and in the Not synced list appears an entry. The problem is that this one can disappear quickly.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a conflict file
2. check that the conflict entry is in the not synced list
3. See how it vanishes from there with the next sync.

Isn't this done already?

@mcastroSG ?

Actually @dragotin wants more persistent notifications: #4697

@guruz Conflict file alerts have not been included as notifications in the same way than Announcements or remote federated sharing files but it will be 😄

We now have a persistent list of conflicts in the issues tab. I think that's mostly equivalent to showing them in the notifications view - @dragotin agreed?

[guruz]

@ckamm Maybe you mean a different thing by 'notifications'? We mean https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204079

[ckamm]

@guruz Oh. I thought server notifications that are displayed in the "Server activity" tab were meant. We don't have these fancy notifications anywhere yet, do we?

EDIT: Chatting with @guruz: We do have a non-interactive non-sticky tray message for conflicts ("a.txt and three other files had conflicts") already, but nothing sticky-interactive like the OSX alerts.

[guruz]

OK..
then this is partly solved by your issues tab and partly handled by #4697
