Description Stephan Sokolow 2007-05-18 07:54:03 UTC 
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 3.5.5, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-gentoo-r4-20070330

It'd be nice to see tabs visibly grouped by network like X-Chat does. It makes things much easier to navigate at a glance.

The treelist version of the tab bar (i.e. when moving the tab bar to the left side of the window) does this by indentation. Does that float your boat?
Comment 2 Stephan Sokolow 2008-05-02 01:21:38 UTC 
Yes, actually. Since submitting this wish, I switched from tabs to treelist in X-Chat, (I use it for its more advanced plugin API) so it should be perfect.
Comment 3 Eike Hein 2008-05-02 09:44:08 UTC 
(You might be happy then that the Konversation treelist is a bit nicer than X-Chat's, at least last time I checked: Support for mouse wheel events, hold-and-cruise, drag and drop reordering, optional close buttons, a context menu, no bugs like channels becoming parent items of channels when server tabs are hidden, ..)
Comment 4 Stephan Sokolow 2008-05-02 14:53:27 UTC 
Actually, at least until I get around to writing up that report on recommended plugin API design that I said I'd write, Conspire is looking like a more likely upgrade path. 

Conspire is a fork of X-Chat where the devs are cleaning up the insanity-inducing code and, as I remember, are preparing to make plugins first-class citizens. On that note, would it be possibly to use Kross for scripting in KDE4 Konversation? (Scripts are just about the only reason I use X-Chat, but they're almost more important than being able to actually talk to people and Konversation's scripting system just doesn't cut it)
Comment 5 Eike Hein 2008-05-02 16:17:15 UTC 
We intend to use Kross, yes.
Comment 6 Stephan Sokolow 2008-05-02 17:02:09 UTC 
Glad to hear it. Maybe I'll finally be able to prune my list of regularly-used GTK+ apps down to just my media player (Audacious) and torrent client. (Deluge)
Comment 7 Eike Hein 2008-05-02 17:27:06 UTC 
KTorrent is quite wonderful, especially the KDE 4 trunk version ;).

But enough with the off-topic banter. That's what IRC is for! :)
Comment 8 Stephan Sokolow 2008-05-02 20:57:13 UTC 
Fair enough. Though, on a closing note, I believe my reason for choosing Deluge was that KTorrent couldn't send tracker traffic through Tor while keeping regular traffic unproxied.
