auto-fit roaster window

[vasco.m.nunes@…]

An option to auto-fit the roster window in height, and probably in width, would be just great.

[nk]

define auto-fit<?>

you mean make it as high as needed so all contacts are shown? what if that means higher than screen?

[anonymous]

Yes that's it exactly. If higher than screen should fill screen with scrollbars.

This is something present, for example, in current psi cvs version and is in fact very handy.

[nk]

Gajim saves position and size of windows (so also position and size) of main window. so resize it once in height to match your screen and close Gajim normally and next time you get what you want.

[vasco.m.nunes@…]

No, I will not.

think I'm not being clear about this one :D What I'm proposing is a auto-fit feature. This means that, for example, I have a roaster with 3 contacts online (offline not being shown) and forth one comes online the roster windows will auto-resize to acomodate this last contact. This feature is present, for example, in lastest psi cvs version and is very useful for people who use the roster window just like I do. Believe, a lot of people do :D

this can b an option in ACE, but not for 0.9

[nk]

this feat req has this problem: we can know screen max height but not really availble unless we want the roster to overlap gnome-panel or whatever user is using...

[nk]

c #1080 y I reopen

[nk]

I changed my mind. I don't think it's useful. of coursep atches welcome..

[knuckles@…]

I think this psi feature is great, the ticket should be open so it's at

least visible no?

[jim++]

/me agree

[bb]

I don't see why this has priority: highest..

[nk]

just because Psi has this, I don't see how this can be good. a window that

changes the size automatically!? SCARY :D

[Cast]

it's a good feature and many peoples wants it, really

and it's wrong to not doing so "just because Psi has this"

P.s.: my english is poor, so don't abuse me

[nk]

really. what happens if roster has to become larger than screen height can handle??

[knuckles@…]

Simple: don't make the roster bigger than usable screen height.

This option may not seem very useful if you have a large number of contacts online / expand all groups / show offline / etc and always have a scroll bar on your roster, but if you have contacts split into various groups and expand each one individually (when at work, home, etc), or you don't have that many contacts online at the same time (normally), having the roster fit is a very nice feature, because you never have a scrollbar and it never wastes space being taller than needed.

[nk]

yes okay. maybe we can catch 'scrollbar visible' signal and resize or whatever. if GTK+ allows such functionality is another thing.
