Material-theme-jetbrains: No Way To Accept/Refuse Request To Collect Usage Stats

[lots0logs]

Summary

The notification to request collection of usage stats provides no way to respond to it. Thus, it displays every time you open the IDE and it never goes away.

Help Make Material Theme UI Better: We are asking your permission to send information about your configuration (what is enabled and what is not) and feature usage statistics (e.g. how frequently you are using a feature). This data is anonymous, does not contain any personal information, collected for use only by the Material Theme Plugin Team and will never be transmitted to any third party.

Expected behavior

User should be able to click a link in the request to either approve or deny it and then the notification should not be shown anymore.

Actual behavior

See summary.

Steps to reproduce (if needed)

1. Open IDE
2. See notification.

This is because this is supposed to happen inside a notification at the bottom right. Verify that you have notifications enabled, do your choice, and disable them again if you want.

[lots0logs]

Do you not think this is a bug? I mean come on. Regardless of what my configuration is your plugin should not be displaying this event in the event log every time the app starts.

[mallowigi]

It’s a bug but this is not an easy fix and I have other priorities than such an issue with an easy workaround

[lots0logs]

Why is it that no other plugin has this issue if its difficult to fix? Other plugins that ask for permission for stuff work perfectly fine without me touching my configuration.

[mallowigi]

Which one for instance? I can use a fix.

[lots0logs]

Its been a while since I've had one. I can't recall which plugins but its possible they were official JetBrain plugins. The next time I get one I will post the details here.

[mallowigi]

I'm actually using the same notification that Jetbrains uses (or used, I don't know), so theoretically this bug should happen for them too. The only difference is that this popup shows for new installs so people don't have the possibility to hide notifications at this point

[mallowigi]

True, I can also create a basic notification with links, and call it a day, but again I don't want to work on such a small feat at this time. Maybe I'll leave open to the backlog.

A successful theme for an IDE should not draw one's attention to it. May I suggest that you suppress the "Help Make Material Theme UI Better" message for now? I see it every time my IDE starts in the notification bar, and it is really bugging me. I'm happy to raise a PR for this if you think this is an acceptable solution for now.

[mallowigi]

I’m currently on hiatus so this will wait. Again this is in my backlog so I’ll get to it but again you can still enable notifications, accept it and turn it off.

What you can also do is manually insert the settings in your configuration file. Check in http://www.material-theme.com/docs/settings

OK, thanks I'll look at disabling it myself.

Sorry to add something else to your to do list, but ...

[mallowigi]

Yes I know, well I don’t know the links by heart :)
