Feature Request: Hide Notifications when in fullscreen (10.7)

[Feigling]

Hi,

the fullscreen feature in 10.7 really helps you to focus on your work
however growl notifcations are still kind of disctracting. It would be
great if you could hide notifications if the active app is in
fullscreen mode.

Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

Cheers
Chris

I'd like to see that tied to the notification's priority, for example a slider to set a threshold below which notifications would be suppressed in full-screen mode (or when the notifying app is topmost and has focus, perhaps). That would allow one to choose by assigning priorities to notifications from different apps which ones were important enough to be an interruption, and which weren't.

If one was doing something where _any_ interruptions would disrupt the work (maybe screen capture or video editing or something like that), one would presumably turn off notifications entirely for the duration (and other things too, like user interface sound effects in the "Sound" system preferences).

What I described might not be 10.7 standard behaviour. I upgraded from
10.6 and I had my spaces configured in a way that my chat applications
(Adium and Skype) reside in every space. Apparently a fullscreen app
is considered to be a space and so I also get notifications there. A
friend of mine complains that he doesn't get notifications in
fullscreen apps and he would like to see a growl option to enable
notifications in fullscreen apps. The GUI in which you can configure
what app resides in which space by default seems to be removed from
the system preferences, so I can't do a quick test without screwing
around with plists.

Cheers

So 10.7 is still under NDA. Let's keep specifics of it off this list until the final release (and the NDA is lifted). I would hate for apple legal to come down on us, or worse you, for posts like this.

I second this request.  When I am watching a video in fullscreen, I would like Growl to be smart enough to NOT DISPLAY.  Perhaps collect any alerts into the Rollup.  At the very least, make this a configurable preference, please...

So you mean make use of detect full screen?

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of
its users. When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across
platforms and devices. However, many devices are excluded access to Web

I don't know exactly what (or who provides) "detect full screen" but if it's anything like its name suggests, than yeah, it would be cool if Growl could know that "this user is concentrating on a full screen activity -- like watching a movie -- so let's hold off on distracting him with a Growl alert" and instead just shelve alerts into the new Rollup.

Unfortunately full screen is implemented in different ways across different applications. Portal (1) implements things differently than say QTX would.

I'm pretty sure we have a ticket on this though.
