Dunst: Display notifications in a stacked manner

[vsr625]

For some very particular reason, I want the notifications to be displayed in a stacked fashion, that is if there is a notification, and again if a new notification is sent, the new notification should replace/take the place of the old notification in the same place.
For this, I had set the height in the geometry parameter to 1, set hide_duplicate_count = true and indicate_hidden = no.
But now, if there is a notification and if a new notification is sent, it isn't displayed until the old notification gets the timeout or dismissed. Is there anyway, such that the stacked behavior is possible.

Installation info

Have you set the stack_duplicates setting in dunstrc to true?

@bebehei No, it didn't help.

@vsr625 Did you find a solution to your issue? If so it might be worth posting here for others that have the same question.

For my purpose, replacing the existing notification with a new one was suffice, so I followed this answer.

the dunstify client, available on aur, also allows you to replace notifications by ID.

Just recently, we introduced a stack_tag to dunst. On Arch you have to install dunst-git. For further informations then, please consult my comment in the other thread.
