notify about description changes

Option that enable notifying about changes in description on contact list.

descritpin? you mean status msg? why is this useful?

[jkrajniak@…]

yes status msg useful, maybe too big word, nice feature. Well, if user is hiding but is changing status msg, we will be able to know that it is near keyboard

[nk]

hiding how?

and if he wants to hide, leave him hide :)

I don't undersatnd the purpose of this ticket I propose WONTFIX unless I understand

He could just change his status and go away. Is there any _serious_ IM client which has this implemented? IMO its for kids whose play with status msgs. I think you have many more interesting JEPs to implement than this.

[jkrajniak@…]

Okey, priority changed to low, _serious_ IM, PSI has got this functionality. It shows pop-ups when user change their status message. Maybe it's for kids, or not. It's the same like with quodlibet plugin for gajim.

[nk]

a. we don't do quodlibet plugin b. it's not the same as current song seems to be sth a lot of users do

what you ask, how does Psi implement it? how do you enable such a thing etc.. it's not a matter if it's for kids or not, it's a matter if it's useful enough and where and if it should be exposed or just not done at all

psi implementatnion

It can be useful, it depends on how people will use that. For ex. you don't have to scan your roster for important informtions, when someone change his status to "Party tonight" you automaticaly knew where u will drink tonight. I've just got bad experiences with that and always switch it off. Some ppl shows in status what they are actually listning to and it flashes every 4-5 minutes, or worse.

[jkrajniak@…]

okay so this think in PSI can be enabled in settings window, and also other types of notification can be enabled/disabled, such as new file received, contact is online or offline, new rss header. Maybe some kind of blacklist for those users.

Note that AFAIK you can't configure when you want psi popups. If they are activated, you always see them, except if you are DND. Every intrusives things are deactivated when DND, a thing that I personally like, but it isn't configurable.

yes to me this could be a sane default and as such not exposed to UI for configuration when it comes to visual and audio notifications we discussed
