Show notification previews

[kdzh-az]

Describe the bug
With "Show preview" set to always, the preview contents is static: "New articles received".
(I'm not sure if it better fits in for a feature request.)

To Reproduce

1. Go to System Preferences -> Notifications & Focus and set Show previews for Vienna to always.

Screenshots

Result:

• Vienna version 3.8.5 :5ac6c328: (8030)
• OS version: macOS 12.6

This is working as intended. Vienna does not use previews. Unfortunately, it is not possible for apps to control the "Show previews" setting in System Preferences.

I do not see the need right now to mark this as a feature request. How would a preview of multiple unread articles look? What were you expecting exactly?

Thanks for your reply, Eitot. I'm not asking for Vienna to control system settings, but the other way around to enable Vienna to actually show previews as it's enabled in the system settings.

Multiple unread articles will either be stacked or laid out as a list. An example may look like:

The first group (with Microsoft Teams) is what I meant by "be stacked".

Each item showing preview could just show the title, which should be good enough.

Doing it like Teams or Outlook is not immediately workable for Vienna. A feed can have a virtually unlimited number of new feed items per refresh. Assuming that the notification system is even able to handle larger numbers of notifications at once, this would require several more considerations: what is the sensible maximum number of notifications per feed or refresh? What should happen if that number is exceeded?

Also consider that notification grouping was added in macOS 11 (Big Sur). Vienna still supports macOS 10.13, 10.14 and 10.15 too, so the implementation must handle all of them.

For this to work:

• Implement UNUserNotifications framework (macOS 10.14+)
• Implement notifications per feed (Seperate notification settings into per feed settings #1624)
• Implement notifications per feed item (Notifications for individual new articles #1132)
• Test and decide the maximum number of individual notifications (if necessary, make this user configurable)

Still an interesting feature I would say, should not be closed.
