Would the Opus community find a notification system useful?

Microsoft Excel allows macros and itself to use
the status bar on the bottom of the screen
as an area to publish notifications.

Opus does have dialog boxes, and they have
their uses, but a notification system that Opus
and scripts could use, might be quite both helpful
and unintrusive.
Especially with features like

  1. Timed Fadeout / expiry
    1.1 but a history list is kept, searchable, exportable
  2. progress bars (via, multi-updates from scripts)
  3. hyperlinks / buttons
  4. selectable different appearance locations
  5. possibly using templates that users can create
    and/or be shipped with Opus
  6. Severity / Priority / Growth ratings available
    to be used or omitted for each notification
  7. possibly also a respond-by-date/time field
    7.1 and/or from-now or calendar reminders
  8. by default the notifications are non-modal,
    so non-blocking
  9. possibly integrated with a to-do list

I suspect that some conversations with
experienced users to define the feature set
to create greatest facility with least effort,
might allow the first draft to deliver 70+ %
of the sought value fairly quickly.

So this post is more of a concept being published
for discussion than a feature request.

This suggestion will be most useful for those that
have learned that Opus is very useful as a
workflow manager across environments and contexts,
rather than those that use it solely for its most obvious
capability, i.e. file management.

Any takers ?

Thanks, Opus Gods :wink:

Would be cool, but in the meantime there is a jobs bar which already has a progressbar with a full blown progress dialog with more info and ability to pause/abort (I have enabled an option which immediately minimizes any progress dialogs to jobs bar). This works for scripts too!

But I agree some notification system would be cool, perhaps at least a simple way to display Windows 10 notifications to use in scripts (that way there's also a history).
