Description baum-im-wald 2006-05-09 21:09:31 UTC
Version:           0.12 beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Since I updated to Kopete 0.12 beta 1, I experience the problem that setting my global status to "Occupied" causes Kopete to set my ICQ status to "Do not disturb" (according to systray tooltip).

Sorry, I cannot see any global status called "Occupied".
There are "Online", "Away", "Busy", "Invisble" and "Offline".
Comment 2 Chani 2006-05-10 01:30:50 UTC
busy and occupied mean pretty much the same thing. at least, imho
"busy" is closer to "occupied" than "do not disturb".
Comment 3 Jan Ritzerfeld 2006-05-10 08:00:58 UTC
Okay. But not all protocols support "Occupied". If "Set Status"->"Busy" set one account to "Occupied" and another to "Do not Disturb" clients on the other side would send messages to the one with the more available status: the icq account. At least if they support groups or meta-contacts, too (like Miranda).
Comment 4 baum-im-wald 2006-05-10 20:54:22 UTC
I mean the Busy status (I translated the string from german myself).

Anyways, I think Occupied/Busy and Do Not Disturb are completely different 
things. I use Occupied/Busy to say "I'm doing someting,but you might try 
contacting me anyway" and Do Not Disturb to say "Don't interrupt me at all - 
only if it is REALLY important". And therefore I see Occupied very close to 
Busy (and not to Do Not Disturb) - in the german translation both are 
translated as Beschäftigt btw.
MSN has Busy mapped to global Busy in Kopete (though there is no Do Not 
Disturb here), so I think in ICQ it should be mapped to Occupied. I don't 
know about other protocols (only that AIM only knows Away) but I think that 
the global Busy thing should generally be mapped to Busy or Occupied or as a 
fallback to Away.
Do not Disturb is something else, imho.
Comment 5 Jan Ritzerfeld 2006-05-11 10:28:21 UTC
The status set by "Set Status"->"Busy" was intentionally unified: The problem described in comment #3 is very annoying. The logic behind (at least for Jabber and ICQ) is to set the least available status by "Set Status"->"Busy" because there is no "Busy" status.

This can't fit anybody's needs and a solution could be custom status entries in "Set Status" where the user can select the status target for each protocol.

Does this problem still exist in a recent KDE 4 version of kopete?

This problem still exists in Kopete 0.99.90.
