Description Christophe Marin 2008-04-07 16:27:44 UTC

Version:           0.50.50 (using 4.00.68 (KDE 4.0.68 >= 20080402), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-15-generic

Kopete is built from trunk. My current kdenetwork rev. is 794395.

This is a list of unsaved settings in kopete (i.e. if I close then re-open the options, settings are back to their default values) or unavailable ones :

- Video tab : 
  * The video standard always resets to "PAL-B1" value (using a bt848 card)
  * The boxes checked on the Options tab are not saved
  * Sliders on the control tab are not saved

- Contact list : 
  * Advanced tab : The timer before hiding the scrollbar is greyed.

- MSN account settings :
  * The last checkbox is greyed (it wasn't in kde 4.0.0)
  * Connection tab, none of these settings are saved.

Note : Why is incoming webcam port depending on the server address/port ?

- ICQ account settings :
  * "Override server informations" is automatically reverted

- Yahoo account settings : 
  * "Do not use the default server" box is always unchecked when opening options.

Comment 1 Dennis Nienhüser 2008-04-14 22:49:39 UTC

Regard ICQ account settings :
  * "Override server informations" is automatically reverted 

That does only happen if I don't change the default settings, otherwise it is remembered.

Comment 3 Stef Louwers 2008-07-07 01:25:38 UTC

I can confirm it for kopete 0.50.1 (although i did not test all the settings).

Comment 4 Matt Rogers 2009-03-29 03:30:38 UTC

Is this still an issue for later releases?

Comment 5 Christophe Marin 2009-03-29 18:55:16 UTC

> Is this still an issue for later releases?

These points are still valid: 
  * The video standard always resets to "PAL-B1" value (using a bt848 card)
  * The boxes checked on the Options tab are not saved
  * Sliders on the control tab are not saved

  * MSN config / Connection tab, none of these settings are saved.

  * ICQ config / "Override server informations" is automatically reverted

  + "Require authorization before someone can add me..." looks broken (I still see some spam bots adding my uin).

  * Yahoo config / "Do not use the default server" box is always unchecked when opening options.

Comment 6 Christophe Marin 2011-05-13 18:48:46 UTC

Update:

This points is still valid (but could be reported as a new bug if none already exists)

  + "Require authorization before someone can add me..." looks broken (I still
see some spam bots adding my uin).

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Comment 8 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-18 18:28:21 UTC

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.
