Description Michiel de Bruijne 2003-08-07 03:28:02 UTC

Version:           0.7 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1 -march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
OS:          Linux

I really love the raise window/tab on new messages feature, except when I'm using kopete as an IRC-client.

I'm subscribed to a lot of channels with high volume traffic. When I turn on the raise window/tab on new messages feature and use IRC I cannot work anymore because the chat window is placed on top almost every second. I also use IRC mostly for read only, therefore I like it to stay minimized so I can read it when I want.

For the other protocols (jabber, msn, etc.) I really love the raise window/tab on new messages feature, because these protocols are less (low) volume traffic and mostly read/write. For me this is very nice usability-option.

I know and appreciate that every protocol supported in kopete is treated equally. I'm not requesting to turn off the raise window/tab on new messages feature for IRC, because users with less volume traffic might like this options also with IRC. Therefore I request that the behaviour for notifications (balloon, sound, raise window/tab, etc.) is configureable per protocol.

Extending the "look the same" to "sound the same".

Eh, this is not the same thing. 
I reopen This bug because i agree with the user.  Raise window on every IRC 
message is a bit anoying. 
That's why i would like to make a difference for this feature. 
 
I don't want to configure this by protocols. but i want to make the difference 
GroupChat/Single chat 
 
Or at least don't raise the windows mor message with a low priority (every message in 
a irc channel has a low priority, exepted highlighted one)

Comment 3 Chris Smith 2003-08-07 11:13:16 UTC

Thats a good idea, perhaps you could only get it to raise on: when your nick is 
said (NickHighlight is already built into kopete) or when you get a /notice or 
a kick or some other things (i.e. bans, exceptions, invites). 
 
Perhaps it could be a sub-option in the IRC protocol configuration to have it 
raise/not raise on important message. This wouldn't be independant of, but 
complimetary to the "Raise window on chat message" in the behaviour tab. 
 
Just a thought.

Comment 4 Michiel de Bruijne 2003-08-07 14:22:37 UTC

Great suggestion, I like it better than my proposal. If the raise window/tab 
on new messages feature is turned on the window in Single chat is raised 
for every message. If the raise window/tab on new messages feature is 
turned on the window in Group chat is raised only for high priority 
messages. 
 
This applies for every protocol so the application stays constistent and it 
should be easier to implement, because NickHighlight is already built into 
kopete.

This doesn't affect the raise on new chat; but you can now set custom notifications per contact.

Comment 7 Will Stephenson 2007-11-14 14:24:57 UTC

We now have the insfrastructure to differentiate between IM style chats and chatrooms, so this should be doable

Comment 8 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-18 18:26:38 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.
