Description

Tell us how we can improve Xcodes

Currently, Xcodes sends a notification for each of the 6 steps. Personally, I only care if the final step succeeded, or if any step caused an irrecoverable failure. Because that's all I care about, I'd like the ability to tell Xcodes to only notify my when that happens, not when every intermediate step completes.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Kinda? I find it a problem when I get too many notifications, especially ones with sound. It's not really a bug or such tho.

What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?

A setting in Preferences, which allows the user to select one of the following:

  • Notify for every step
  • Only notify on failure or final-success
  • Do not notify

More options would be awesome, but this is the minimum I expected
