play sounds depending on chatwindow active/inactive

[anonymous]

would be nice to be able only to have a "new msg" sound played if the chat-window is in background/inactive ..so when i'm chatting there is no sound

[jaime]

to be more specific:

i'd be glad to be able to set a "new message" sound only be played for chatwindows or tabs that i am not actually looking/typing at

i really miss this feature (was using miranda until now but gajim really looks like an acceptable - and hopefully better - alternative for jabber :p)

[jaime]

in Mirdanda IM there is:

- Incoming (Focused Window) - Incoming (New Session) - Incoming (Unfocused Windows)

[Jim++]

Not sure if we should do this, and how to do it in preferences.

But not for 0.11.1 for sure

hm I don't know how difficult it is in python to check whether a chatwindow or tab is active or not but for preferences I'd suggest the sound-events noted above or to be complete:

message notifications:
 - Incoming (New Session)
 - Incoming (Focused Window or Tab)
 - Incoming (Unfocused Window or Tab)
 - Outgoing

groupchat notifications:
 - Incoming message
 - Message highlighted
 - User has joined
 - User has left/disconnected

status notifications:
 - Contact online
 - Contact offline

filetransfer notifications:
 - Incoming Filetransfer
 - Filetransfer complete
 - Filetransfer denied
 - Error

don't know how you can live with a sound for every incoming message in active chat :p

(In [9273]) add a new event to allow not playing sound when chat window is focused. fixes #2907
