Topic: [closed] Add notification mechanism

Hi,

Gparted can often take a long time to complete its operations. Can you provide a way to launch a script at the conclusion of all queued tasks, perhaps with a way to pass a success/fail flag?

Thanks for listening!

GParted uses the libparted library from the parted project to manipulate partitions.  If you wish to script partition changes you might wish to investigate using command line parted.

I'm not opposed to a more GUI-friendly solution of notifications. What are the other options for Gparted? Firefox allows for Growl notifications on Mac's: http://preview.tinyurl.com/7osedvh

Currently the only command line options for GParted are to pass a list of devices.  GParted has been designed to be used interactively.  For scripted solutions we suggest you investigate parted.
