> Currently % is always sent "as is". Sorry, I don't understand what this means. Could you please rephrase? > For example when pasting encoded URLs [...] It's hard to react to this without understanding your first sentence, but guessing that you have a problem with formatting codes like %B being interpreted in URLs: Konversation used to automatically replace % with %% when pasting text, for the last five years or so, to avoid this problem (%%B escapes %B / %% is generally turned into % on sendout). This was changed for Konversation 1.2 due to complaints, which however meant this problem with %B etc. in URLs returned. That's why as of Konversation 1.2.1, the variable expansion code automatically skips over any URLs, i.e. %B in URLs and similar is no longer interpreted. > I think a special handling for the color coding would be a good idea. Unless this changed, sending a message with Alt+Return/Enter should (a) cause the command char ("/" by default) at the start of the line to be ignored, (b) variable expansion to be deactivated, (c) auto-replace to be deactivated. Sorry for the missunderstanding... I should have looked in the /raw log before. Currently the % is used to encode the color codes which are then interpreted to as some control-codes. This messes up pasting URLs that contain % for umlaut encoding. Using ALT-ENTER does not help here. Currently I am using v1.2 . I look forward to 1.2.1 then. Nevertheless I think it might be a good idea to have an option to switch off the special handling of % at all. In many chats color codes are not usefull or allowed at all. > I look forward to 1.2.1 then. Note that 1.2.1 was released November 2009. > Nevertheless I think it might be a good idea to have an option to switch off the special handling of % at all. That does exist :). Settings -> Configure Konversation -> Behavior -> Chat Window -> [x] Disable variable expansion uhm ... *blush* .oO( it was not there a minute ago, I swear ...) Ok, I will have a look at 1.2.1 then when Ubuntu will ship it. |
