Abbility to disable an acount

[da.killa <dakilla@…>]

It would be nice to have checkboxes in accounts preferences to set which ones are active and should apear on the roster.

this ticket has been asked before. we do not just copy the UI of Psi :) I do not like this idea at all. please use ./gajim -p anotherprofile if you want to have accounts you almost never use.

thanks

ps. this makes the UI *very* incostistent. you have a jabber account but you do not show it/nor use it in main window of the application which is a jabber client..

Hello,

i thing, that account can be disabled, but still shown in roaster. Disabled account can be shown like non-disabled, but label text is gray (instead white) and on right side (where is usually lock icon) is 'disabled' icon (some kind of cross or something else).

This feature is very usable, when one of servers crashes and gajim cannot estabilish connection => no errors, no useless traffic... or when i have backup account, because my primary server is fine but sometimes has problems...

set the problematic or backup account to NOT SYNC WITH GLOBAL STATUS nor AUTOCONNECT

How about not showing disabled account on roster? I don't like merging accounts so i'm forced to have my failsafe account shown on the roster all the time, even though i use it once a month or less.

so it's easier for you to go to acct mod window click to modify acct, click FOO tab, and enable account everytime then right click to go online?

it's just a row.

but if you really think it's that big of a problem having a row you sometimes wanna use, then remove the acct from gajim. then gajim -p failsafe and add it there. when you have pbs in the main account you run failsafe profile and you have it.

Gajim UI is bloated enough

Josef Kufner, here are the tips I personally use to make often-used-accounts not disturbing my roster :

• Reduce the size of accounts names font, so accounts line are (all) smaller.
• Print account name in grey so I don't see them to much (contacts are in black).
• Add a ~ char in front of all often-used-accounts names so they all go at bottom of the roster. So when you have many contacts online, this accounts you don't care about are the firsts things that you don't see if your roster windows is not enoug big.

I think it's sufficient ;)

move those tips in WIKI aside with -p hints if you like
