Description Andre Srinivasan 2006-02-24 00:57:41 UTC

Version:           0.11.91 (using KDE 3.5.1-2.3.fc4.kde, Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz))
Compiler:          Target: i386-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-1.1831_3.rhfc4.cubbi_swsusp2

If I send a message and immediately send another one before I receive a message, the messages are grouped under a single heading.  But I would expect that after a reasonable amount of time (say 60 seconds), even though I have not received a message from this contact, my next send would not be grouped with the previous one.  As it stands now, based on what is in my chat window, a message I sent yesterday and a message I sent today without receiving a message from this contact appear under the same heading with a timestamp of yesterday.

I would add that this is very annoying that if someone sent you several messages with different time and date they all grouped together in a single group. Most of chat styles display date once for each group so it isn't obvious when the message was actually sent.

Google Talk inserts "end of conversation" line after some period of time (about several minutes or so). I believe, doing this is not necessary. Ability to distinguish messages from different dates would be sufficient.

I find message grouping feature very useful, however it was a source of confusion today, when I received Youtube link from a contact grouped with the message sent to me on november 2006. I'll spare you details on what exactly caused the confusion, which could be a separate story and soap opere style ;)

However I agree with orginal poster, that there should be an option to override message grouping feature after a reasonable (or specified) amount of time which passed between two received messages in sequence.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.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.
