Description Christian Bartels 2005-02-07 12:17:41 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

the topic might sound strange, but i would think such a functionality is great when you have many contacts, who set their status to invisible all the time, but you know that they are online. at the moment, when i want to contact them, first i have to use the "show offline users"-button and then search for the contact, which is a little bit stupid with many contacts.

so, this is what i propose:
create an entry in the contact's context menu called "always visible". if it is set to true, the contact is displayed in the contactlist all the time, even when it is offline.

A checkbox in the contact property make sens.
