Description anton 2009-09-11 11:47:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Attach 2 screenshots - both for ICQ event "add contact to server list":
1. Add contact to server list dialog which I suppose pops up when some unknown contact writes me a message or requests authorization (don't remember this situation exactly - just know that the dialog pops up itself - I did not search the contact manually)
2. Notification panel which shows at the kopete main window bottom if hit "add" button in the above dialog.

As you can see, in both cases I can't find any useful info about the contact being asked for my authorization except its ICQ number. Moreover, when the new contact is added, it goes somewhere to my contact list (which is not so small) and the ICQ number is changed to the contact nickname (which I could not know when did hit "add" button, because the dialog did not show me anything except numeric id) and there is no any simple way to find it there.

So,
1. In the 1st dialog the "user info" button would be highly
 useful.
2. There should be some way to find newly added users in the contact list - show them on top or highlight in some way or show recently added contact in separate list view, or modify above "contact added" notification panel, so it would be possible to access newly added contact from it.

I agree.

It will improve usability of the dialog. Now I can't get information about contact which tries me to add.

I voted for this bug.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.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.
