How to stop window pop up ?
A small but nagging problem: My os is Linux Mint. Each time calibre has completed some job, its window pops up in front of everything else on my monitor screen. How can I stop this behaviour?

Which jobs?
I don't think there is a system wide setting to suppress job completion notification messages. Some optional plugins have options to suppress them, such as Count Pages and Modify ePub. I want the notification messages from Bulk Metadata Download, but I suppress the ones from Count Pages and Modify ePub. I'm on Windows, but I assume MacOS and Linux would be the same. Kovid goes to considerable lengths to make them consistent, which is more than can be said for many x-platform application developers. BR |

BR is correct. Consistent is what Kovid does
Preferences: Look and feel: Disable notifications when job is done |

Minimize the window or turn on focus stealing prevention in your window manager's settings.

I only use it for applications that enhance Windows or provide service like features - e.g. thesaurus, clipboard manager, snippets etc. I dislike 'chatty' software. BR |

Just look at the possible 'Windows Actions" you can attach sounds to. I have just a few: "error" (hear that one a lot ), "Input needed (Attention)" |

Most of the time I have the speakers muted - "Speech is silver and silence is golden".

Problem solved with your help.
Thank you all. 'Prevent focus stealing' worked. Though 'minimize calibre window' did not. |
