Hi Michael and All,

How/where does one sign up to receive gitlab mails for comments and status changes of GIMP bugs? I'm guessing that re-enabling Bugzilla preferences won't do the trick.

GitLab uses the term "Issues" instead of "Bugs". Once we're migrated we'll start fine-tuning the project settings and provide an update mail about any important changes.

Are the gitlab project settings already fine-tuned enough to allow receiving gitlab mails for GIMP bugs?

Is there a way in gitlab to add oneself to receive comments on a given bug, without actually making a comment to the specific bug? Maybe there's a totally obvious way to do this, but if so I didn't see it.

Best, Elle

Maybe there is a link to a page with the requested information, that someone would be willing to share?

Notification settings can be changed per project on the project pages - e.g. onhttps://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp

The default is to use Global default settings, but this can be changed to receive everything about a project, or just explicitly watched issues, mentions of

Hi Michael,

Thanks! for the link.

I see "Global" in the drop-down list. But where are the Global settings? Or are these not user-settable? This page makes it sound like somewhere there are Global settings that are user-controllable, but what's the link to the page for making changes to global settings, assuming this is possible?

https://gitlab.gnome.org/help/workflow/notifications

There is also "Watch" - is this the equivalent of getting all GIMP bug reports in the way that such was done for Bugzilla?

There is also "On mention" and "Participate". Does "On mention" include "Participate"? Can both be checked?

Has anyone else managed to set up getting emails in a way that's equivalent to emails sent out by Bugzilla? If so, what settings did you use, by accessing which pages on gitlab?

Best,

Elle

After you log in click the circle in the top right corner and select Settings. On the page that pops up click the Notfications link that is half-way down the left-hand side set of choices.

The "Custom" option under the Global notifications offers more control.

AFAICT, we don't have the same level of controls over notifications as we had with Bugzilla. The use of Custom notification settings, either at the project level or at the Global level, is as close as we can get.

Cheers!

Kevin.

Your description of where to click is very clear, even to someone like myself who'd never ever think to click on some unlabelled and uninformative icon - thanks!

Hmm, that Notifications page is not exactly clear. Apparently I'm a member of the Group GNOME and the Project GIMP. So I did the following:

* Set Global notifications to "On mention" and checked the box to "Receive notifications about your own activity", so hopefully this will apply to all GNOME Projects other than GIMP, and will only result in emails if I actually ever file a bug report with a GNOME Project other than GIMP.

* Set the GIMP "Project" notifications to "Watch", in the hopes that this is equivalent to the settings I had on Bugzilla, where I got copies of all GIMP bug report comments, closings, etc.

Hopefully the above settings won't result in a total flood of unwanted emails!

Regarding Custom notification settings, the descriptions of the various options are as clear as mud. Is there a link to actually understandable explanations of the available custom options? Or a list of recommended options to check?

Best,
