Set urgency to normal if node-notifier is running on Linux

You can set urgency level if node-notifier is running on Linux as demonstrated here: node-notifier - npm

I would love to have 'normal' urgency notifications from Joplin so that my notification daemon (dunst) would override the timeout value as written in the config. file

I write this request because I guess the reason the notifications from Joplin disappear in 10 seconds is the default value of timeout 10 set by node-notifier is not being overridden by Dunst since urgency level is null.

By the way there has been a critical bug that prevents notification on Linux which could be easily fixed: No notification/ alarm on joplin desktop (linux) · Issue #6669 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub

Ah, I've tested how dunst works; it turns out dunst respect the -t(--expire-time=TIME) argument of notify-send without overriding the timeout value according to the default value set by [urgency_(normal|low|critical)] segment in their config. file

I would love joplin to replace the default timeout value 10 with null in node-notifier and set urgency to normal.

It's my personal preference, Some would like to write a specific timeout value without changing the urgency level, and some would like to set timeout to 'null' and urgency to 'low' or 'critical' instead of 'normal'?
