hierarchical groups

[rakaur]

I think it'd be awesome if we could make groups under groups. It would work well for things like transports where you'd like to keep them sorted by AIM, MSN, Jabber, etc.

Also, being able to arrange the groups in something other than alphabetical order would be nice. I like sorting mine by people that I most often talk to, but unless i name things like "01 - Family" then "Buddies" is always on top.

for the subgroup, this can maybe be done only with groupname:

group/subgroup1 and group/subgroup2. This way other clients won't have strange things

I would not use a roster that would look like that, nor liked to see bloated UI that can do this. GMail Web Interface doesn't have a Delete button and most don't care. I would like to have one, but I guess majority does not care so the UI is kept simple and nice. I propose WONTFIX evnethough I share your funcionality problems

I disagree. For huge rosters, group hierarchies are a great thing. Using a Group/Subgroup syntax is also compatible with other clients (Exodus), they just nest the UI tree.

Perhaps a look at JEP-0083 would help.

Even if there's no way of implementing this, I'd enjoy seeing meta-contacts at the very least. For people that want to use transports and have the same person on XMPP/AIM/MSN/etc it's nice to have them in the roster once instead of three+ times.

Ahh, I was not even aware of JEP 83. Thanks for the pointer. Also, gmail wised up and added a delete button :-)

[nk]

yes I also didn't that JEP. Travis, I was using Gmail Delete Button Firefox Extension until today.. so it's the same for me :)

Is there any chance to have this feature in one of the next releases? It's

the last thing I really miss in gajim.

[jim++]

anonymous > One day maybe...

[Cast]

I miss this functionality too fully agree with author

[Armin Ronacher]

*bump* :-) I miss it too

[mq]

*bump* any news on this?

[gluth]

When this will be?

[asterix]

not planned now. not for 0.12

[dtoshack]

YES PLEASE! :-) I've wanted this feature for ages.

According to  http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0083.html groups should be implemented with a delimiter for non compliant clients as mentioned above. But preferably a string instead of a single character to avoid misinterpretation.

Such as:

group1 group1::subgroup1 group1::subgroup2

... etc.

[dtoshack]

hmm strange rendering. Apologies, that was meant to come out like:

group1

group1::subgroup1

group1::subgroup2

... etc.

So thats why these ticket systems have a preview button! :-D

[dtoshack]

sorry Travis ... added your cc back. Last ticket correction. I promise!

[asterix]

we won't add that for 0.12.
