Description Eduardo Robles Elvira 2005-12-27 17:48:18 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Sometimes we close tabs accidentally (channels, personal conversations, or whatever) and often that leads us to missing important bits of a conversation.

My proposition is to implement "tab locking". You could perhaps lock a tab right clicking on it and selecting "Lock tab" in the context dialog. Once a tab is locked, that setting should be saved for future konversation executions, and it should be visually noticable to the user - changing the color of the tab icon for example.

When a tab is locked, if you try to close it a warning dialog should appear. Note that a warning dialog manager is already present in konversation.

Fixed in SVN by adding a warning dialog for closing channel tabs, as discussed with the reporter on IRC prior to the report being filed.

Don't get me wrong, a "Lock tab" is a nice idea in principle, but somewhat redundant when keeping the warning dialog system in mind. This would be ideal for a plug-in, if we ever implement a framework for them.
