Space panel shouldn't consider Low Priority for notifications dot

[turt2live]

or possibly any collapsed section?

Wouldn't it be weird if your favicon had a dot due to Low Prio but the Space panel didn't and you'd have to visit all your spaces to find it manually

[turt2live]

I would find it weird if my favicon did in fact have a dot - it doesn't because I've set all my rooms to Mentions Only.

[t3chguy]

So by Low Priority here do you mean kill off grey dots for the Space Panel or use a Tag to mangle push rules behaviour?

[turt2live]

I think I mean I need to think more about what I want out of the spaces which have rooms tagged as low priority: why will I have demoted them to low priority and put them into a space...

[SimonBrandner]

I've been thinking about this: What I think we should do is simply not show unreads in the space panel. Currently, they make the space panel too cluttered, IMO

[ShadowJonathan]

I'm against that, I'd like to see unreads per space, though maybe for non-highlighted unreads, it shouldn't be a number, just a bigger grayer circle.

[SimonBrandner]

To be clear: by unreads I mean messages that don't include a mention nor a keyword and are in rooms which are either set to Mentions only or to None

[SimonBrandner]

This is for example what Discord does, afaik

[SimonBrandner]

It's also what Element Android does

Definitely agree on this. Currently the notification dot is pretty much useless for me for larger spaces where I've put the rooms I don't plan on reading everything in (but want to be joined for mentions etc) as Low Priority. However, since they have unread messages pretty much all the time, these spaces are just constantly with a notification dot, which means I have no way of telling if I need to click on a space to see if it has interesting unread messages, and end up clicking through them "just in case" periodically, only to most of the time not seeing any (interesting non low priority) rooms with new messages.

@jaywink, to be clear, do you want the space panel to not consider all Unreads (events that don't cause increased notif counts in sync) or only Unreads tagged as Low Priority?
