Description Daniel Flinkmann 2004-07-07 15:21:55 UTC

Version:           0.8.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

I believe this would produce much work for the developers, but it would be a great feature, if it would be possible to add an IRC Channel to the Userslist, like a standard ICQ, AIM, etc. User.

Why? 

If there is traffic on the channel, the User #channelxyz can pop up like a user is query yourself. 

This helps to remove many channels out of the chat-window, if these channels traffic is idling very much. 

If it's a bit unclear, please contact me. 

Thanks,

Daniel

You can already do this. You've been able to do it since Kopete 0.7.

But it does not behave like you describe, nor will it. Closing a channel window parts the channel. If you want to remain joined in channels you are not actively participating in, you should consider a bouncer like psyBNC.
