Description Jan Ritzerfeld 2005-03-06 14:13:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Settings->Configure Notifications:
"A contact has come online"
"A contact has gone offline"
"A contact's online status has changed"
These notifications aren't fired when I "have come online", I "have gone offine" and/or my "online status has changed". This renders "Log to a file" pretty useless since there's no chance to check wether it was possible to get the online status at all, and therefore the log looks strange, e.g.:
- KNotify So Feb 27 18:28:16 2005: foo ist jetzt Online.
- KNotify So Feb 27 20:27:32 2005: foo ist jetzt Online.

Correct, they don't.

Comment 2 Jan Ritzerfeld 2005-03-08 01:29:36 UTC

The German translation was misleading me? There it's called "A user..." ("Ein Benutzer ...") and I'm definitively a user but I'm not sure wether my account is a contact or not per definitionem.
Nonetheless, the present behaviour makes sense for GUI affecting events but not for "Log to file:" or/and "Print a message to standard error output" notifications. So I would call it a defect (the nonfulfilment of intended usage requirements. (ISO 8402)). ;-)

Comment 3 Thiago Macieira 2005-03-08 03:09:57 UTC

And since it's an unimplemented feature, it's a wishlist for us. We don't deal with defects.

Comment 4 Jan Ritzerfeld 2005-03-10 20:50:15 UTC

I can only speak from my/user's point of view: The mentioned events are "implemented", have a look at: "Configure Kopete..."->Behavior->Chat->"Show events in chat window"
Perhaps the naming is a sort of inconsistent as "Configure Notifications..." is about "events", too!

Does this problem happen in Kopete from KDE SC 4.6.1?
