Right now alarms of the type ACTION:DISPLAY from imported foreign ics files are mapped (or so i guess) to the orage type 'visual: Use Orage window'. I would be nice to have an option to set the default way how alarms will be displayed.
Need to think about this. It is not as simple as it could be as it is possible that Orage is not linked with notify (=the other visual).
I will not implement this. It can't be done easily as libnotify is not always in and it is not worth adding massive amount of code for this. If you really want to do this you can edit the orage.ics file manually (or using script) and change the alarm type from: X-ORAGE-DISPLAY-ALARM:ORAGE to X-ORAGE-DISPLAY-ALARM:NOTIFY
Sorry to hear. I believe, that your suggestion to edit orage.ics won't work, because the content of foreign ics files is not stored in any orage related ics file (as far as I know) but is processed internally by orage. And modifying foreign ics files might effect the application which is generating it (google calendar, lightning, etc.).
Yep, I confused this to import. But this is foreign files. Yes, not a bad idea.
Added parameter: Use notify foreign alarm=false It will be undocumented and there will not be a visible setting in the parameter screen in the next version since I am not adding translatable strings. I will add visible parameter later, but not you just need to change it to true in ./config/orage/oragerc I will test it a bit more before adding it to git, but first tests look good.
Added to Git orage 4.8.3.2
now this is user visible in git 4.9.1.2.
Fixed in 4.10.0
