Linux: ShowNotification ignores always title$ for title-line

On Linux Manjaro here, ShowNotification ignores always title$-tag for title-line and takes only @APPTITLE for title-line-output:

Code: Select all

; ShowNotification ignores the Title-Tag on Linux
@APPTITLE "Apptitle"
ShowNotification("OtherTitle", "Bodytext")
Result:

[title line] Apptitle
[body line1] OtherTitle
[body line2]Bodytext




Removing the APPTITLE-Tag:

Code: Select all

; ShowNotification ignores the Title-Tag on Linux
ShowNotification("OtherTitle", "Bodytext")
Result:

[title line] Hollywood
[body line1]OtherTitle
[body line2]Bodytext

Image

Shouldn't "OtherTitle"-Text be on the title-line of the notification-window?

Actually not. The behavior is correct. When initially registering an app with libnotify Hollywood needs to pass an application name so it makes sense to pass the name set in @APPTITLE and if @APPTITLE isn't set it will fall back to "Hollywood".
