Description Emil Obermayr 2006-08-27 13:51:59 UTC

Version:           0.19 SVN #3143 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If you have too many nicks in your "nicks online" list, it gets cut and all the nicks after the cut are marked "offline".

The reason is the line is not checked for the maximum length the server accepts.

The solution is to split the nick list and send it to the server in parts. Code has to get rewritten because currently every ISON-answer is considered to be the full notify-list.

Another idea is to rewrite the code for sending anything to the server. Thats related to #131460. Still the problem needs to get solved that every ISON-request sends an own ISON-answer that will update the entire list (see above).

There was a non-eccepted patch in the devel-email-list in october 2005. I will redo the path after the 0.20/1.0 release and put it in a SVN-branch.
