Description Dan Allen 2002-10-19 19:24:27 UTC

Version:           0.50.5 (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

When you go to move a screenname to another metacontact, there is no way to view the list in a logic order (apart from the natural order in which they show up).  Therefore, moving names can be a long process.  It would be nice if there was a sort bar on top of this list.

What about scrapping this weird popup list alltogether, and when you choose "Change 
Metacontact" it switches your cursor to a "Crosshairs" cursor and waits for you to click on a 
MetaContact to move it to?  I'll look into doing this if it seems like a better solution..

the best is to have a better dialog for it (including icons and proper sorting for 
instance). 
The idea you brought up is not needed because we have DnD for it which is 
almost exactly the same (it operates on the view only with no dialog).

Comment 3 James Grant 2002-12-11 18:34:04 UTC

Drag and Drop contacts between different MetaContacts does not work anymore, since the 
Contact LVI was removed and all merged into the MetaContact LVI. 
maybe upon choosing  "Change Metacontact" it could initiate a Drag event somehow, then 
you could just drop it wherever you wanted it?
