Plugins setting change notifications block GUI

[izosozi]

Abstract

Whenever changes are made in plugin settings, a large number of notifications block the screen and make it hard to use the GUI, especially on mobile devices.

Expected behaviour

• Continue to be able to use the GUI

Actually happened

• Editor is blocked by a large number of notifications for 10ish seconds

Reproducing procedure

1. Enable Hidden File Sync on two devices A and B (I'm not totally sure whether this behavior is coming from Hidden File Sync though)
2. Make changes to plugin settings on device A
3. Replicate on device B

Screenshots

Other information, insights and intuition.

I am assuming that the notification elements are a part of the Obisidian interface and not controlled by LiveSync, but here are some options I'd suggest:

• Summarize all the notifications into a single one
• Modify the duration of the notifications (if this is controllable by LiveSync)
• Wait until the previous notification has been dismissed before sending another
• Offer user options to control notification frequency, duration, summarization, verbosity, etc. or to disable them completely
• A less intrusive notification design, such as a small symbol that sits out of the way

This is also can be a problem with some other types of notifications. The ones in this screenshot aren't as disruptive, since they disappear much more quickly than the ones from the original issue.

I apologize for being late!
As you mentioned, the first one must be configurable! I will address that soon! I will add a new toggle to the settings.
In addition, you may know; however, by tapping anywhere except HERE on the notification, the process is closed. (tapping HERE will reload the plug-in).

However, I am wondering if a second one (storage scanning) appears. (This can be shown but during some manually-requested operations). May I ask you when it will be shown?
