Version: 0.12.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux If one opens the service-discovery dialogue one getas an empty list for the server, clicking on "query" lists the services. It would be more comfortable for the user, if not only the server-address for groupchats would be shown, but a list of those rooms available. So if there are rooms available one could place a + next to the server-address, e.g. conference.kdetalk.net, and expand the list, if the user clicks on it. To enter a groupchat the user should be able to either double-click, in order to enter directly, or right-click and click on join. With the latter showing a dialogue including room-name, password and nick the user would be enabled to create a new room, with password if wanted.
I like the way how it's done in Coccinella: * query button in the join chatroom dialog * In the Disco tabblad, you can click on + to expand the tree, the server of your account is opened by default, you then can click on the + of the conference component, it then lists all available chatrooms with the number of participants between brackets behind it, if you click on the + of a chatroom, it will show all participants of that chatroom (in case it is a public chatroom of course).
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
