    When watching my pictures as a slideshow or just browsing my pictures while playing music, I get a popup on screen, saying which song plays next. See attachments for examples.

    In my opinion, when I watch a slideshow of pictures, I don't want the picture to be disturbed by a popup notification. When browsing my pictures, and the popup arises, I have to wait untill the popup disappears, before I can resume browsing my pictures. Very annoying in my opinion.

    Steps to reproduce:
    • Play a couple of music files.
    • Watch a slideshow of pictures, or browse through my pictures
    • Wait untill the next song is played
    • popup will appear

    Yep on Titan that a big notification :)
    On SMP it's smaller and smarter for ex :p
    I like to know what song is played when having a slideshow but the titan one is really intrusive lol

    Presumably easy to detect if a slide show is running and not show the notification - also to add an option for this.

    We can make another option, yeah, or just remove popup in my pictures anyway.

    But this will add another setting :)
    Also we should not forget all the work done from Deda about setting from GUI too and then need skin change to make it appear this new setting.

    True, and I would normally be against this. However, I think it is a useful one.

    Agreed.

    I'll sort a Jira later. Since this is not a bugfix, I will schedule it for 1.9.100

    I'd love to have a global option to turn off all notifications when fullscreen video is playing and also using a visualization/slideshow with music.

    One single setting for all related instances might be a cleaner solution.
