Groupchat into Roster

[mray]

The idea is to add a new JID to your roster for every groupchat bookmark.

If you join a groupchat the newly generated contact becomes "online". If you doubleclick one of those new contacts you open the corresponding chatroom. IF YOU CLOSE THE CHATROOM WINDOW the contact in your roster still remains online and you don't quit the room!!! If your nick is mentioned in the room you get a normal contact notification. If nobody said anything in the chatroom the status of the contact in your roster becomes "away" or "xa" ...

[roidelapluie]

Here you are. You can now add groupchats to roster.

[roidelapluie]

my patch allow you to minimize groupchats you're in. I don't think it's usefull to do this with bookmarks.

It would be nice if there would be number of participants of the MUC in parenthesis after the MUC name. Example: gajim@… (23)

[anonymous]

Or better yet the number could be in the same format as the other numbers in roster so (available/all participants). Example gajim@… (5/23)

[asterix]

in roster we count connected/total. In groupchat connected = total.

Why not put all bookmarks in roster. It would be easier to manage them not having to find bookmars thourgh menus and roster would be consistent with other jabber clients (exodus (http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/collapsed.png), tkabber (http://tkabber.jabber.ru/files/screenshots/tkabber-0.9.5/tkabber_warm.png), bombus etc.). Not joined groupschats can be grayed out like offline contacts.

roidelapluie, what you have done so far is really great, well done. Nevertheless he last bits are missing to make this new feature usable.

It is confusing to have similar ways to achieve almost the same. What I can currently do:

• Auto connect a room and minimize it to roster
  • good:
    • is fairly stable
  • bad:
    • auto-minimize on auto-start is hidden in ACE
    • there is not option to minimize instead of closing. You have to use minimize function every time.
• Add a gc-jid to roster
  • good:
    • the item stays in my roster, even when opened
    • closing window means minimize (very cool)
    • you can move it to the group you want
  • bad:
    • you cannot remove it
    • it only works when you are online, otherwise gajim thinks this is normal contact
    • I cannot disconnect via context menu
  • questionable:
    • how do other clients behave when they find a GC in my contactlist? (XEP?)

I don't want to have all my bookmakrs listed in my roster, only thouse I use regularly.

We'll add a minimize on startup checkbutton in manage bookmark window

* there is not option to minimize instead of closing. You have to use minimize function every time.

The one in action popup menu will become a checkbutton "minimize on close"

* Add a gc-jid to roster * good: * the item stays in my roster, even when opened * closing window means minimize (very cool) * you can move it to the group you want * bad: * you cannot remove it

Why that ?

* it only works when you are online, otherwise gajim thinks this is normal contact

normal it's in roster ... IMHO it's not a good thing to add jid to roster.

* I cannot disconnect via context menu

If we keep groupchat in roster we can fix that indeed

* questionable: * how do other clients behave when they find a GC in my contactlist? (XEP?)

I know that Gajim had problems with that a long time ago. I don't know for others

I don't want to have all my bookmakrs listed in my roster, only thouse I use regularly.

and how can Gajim know the one you want in roster ? I don't think one more checkbutton in manage bookmark is a solution. That would do too much options there.

[steve-e]

* Add a gc-jid to roster

roidelaplui told be about that... Don't do that at home kids :P

bookmarks in roster

and how can Gajim know the one you want in roster? I don't think one more checkbutton in manage bookmark is a solution. That would do too much options there.

No, I don't want that feature. I just wanted to point out that it is not usable, when you have many bookmarks. The current bookmark handling is fine for me.

The rest sounds great.

[asterix]

(In [8272]) add minimize button to manage_bookmarks window. see #3034

All bookmars in roster work just fine with most jabber clients which have proper bookmarks support, as pointed out couple of messages a ago, so I don't really see why Gajim should have this kludge to have bookmars in many different places.

(In [8277]) minimize menuitem -> minimize on close checkbutton. see #3034

[roidelapluie]

Fixed in SVN. Add ability to join a new room minimized.
