Option to Sign On as a Certain Status

Description

Signing on as Invisible is important to me in an IM client, because I often get online to talk to one person in particular at the time, and this option allows me to avoid having to explain that to other people who try to IM me. I know there are also plenty of people who like to sign on as Away, instead of Invisible, so a simple option like this would certainly please a lot of people and would not be needlessly complex.

I suggest you to not auto connect, and then manualy connect as invisible or away or what you want. How do you want Gajim to guess which status you want to sign in with ?

Like Asterix stated, disable Autoconnect on Startup and choose the status you want. In addition, in SVN (and 0.12 when it is released) you can assign custom status to contacts and groups. That would mean, you can connect as invisible and send custom presence online to the contacts you want.

I would like to reopen this ticket.

I agree with the original request. Sure, you can disable autoconnect and than connect with the status you want. But i don't want to do this every time i start my pc. So i would prefer to use autoconnect with the status i want. I want to be online all the time so that for example i get the latest offline messages if i start my computer. But i don't want to be visible from the first second i start my computer or maybe not "online" but "busy" because most often i start my PC to do some work.

To the question from asterix: How do you want Gajim to guess which status you want to sign in with?

Gajim already does it. Gajim guess that i want to have the "online" status when using autoconnect. But not everyone want to be "online" when sign in. So make Gajim stop guessing that i want to be "online" for autoconnect and give the user a option in the (account)-preferences to set the initial status they want for autoconnect.

This is really one of my most wanted feature for gajim.

Have a look at "autoconnect_as" in ACE (advanced preferences). If you are not yet running SVN, keep looking forward to 0.12 :-)
