Add notification grouping

[pgbv]

Humhub is creating a new notification and an event in "Last activities" for each uploaded image to the gallery. So if a person will upload 40 images at once, everybody will get 40 notifications about it and all the "latest activity" will basically be wiped out because of 40 new events.

It's very distracting if users are uploading a lot of images — all other notifications like new posts and comments are lost in never ending lists like this:

It would be much more convenient to have notifications like "User created a new Media test.jpg and 39 more" instead of "User created a new Media test1.jpg", "User created a new Media test2.jpg" and so on if images were uploaded to the same gallery at once.

But for now — is it possible to completely disable gallery upload notifications at all?

Hi, are there any news on this?

@luke- Do you know how to enable notifications on creating new File?
I see only Activities on upload/create new File because the model Media is extended from core File:

As I understand we should disable the Notifications and Activities for each creating/uploading of new Media and create some new notification like "User uploaded X new files into gallery "Gallery Name"", right?

@luke- I have started this in PR #100

I have disabled a notification for single Media file, and did this for Gallery instead, it looks like this:

Later I will add more info in the email text:

and I will also add Activities for this as well.

Is there anything holding up this PR from merging? I've currently had to put a gallery into it's own space because of the notification noise it creates.

@Kikketer Yes, unfortunately we have to find another solution that is also suitable for other modules such as the File module.
