Description Compman 2005-03-28 05:15:13 UTC 
Version:           0.10 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I'm using Kopete 0.10, and I can not find a button to start a new conversation with someone who is not on my Buddy List. This is a very useful feature. I'd like to see this added in future releases of Kopete. It's very annoying to have to go through the process of adding someone I only intend to talk to once, especally on services like Yahoo.

Thanks!

What protocol are you talking about ?
Comment 2 illogic-al 2005-03-28 15:55:48 UTC 
at the very least aim and if my memory serves msn as well. starting a chat with people not on your buddy list is impossible.
oh and Compman you might want to vote for your wish.
Comment 3 Compman 2005-03-28 16:33:16 UTC 
illogic-al:Thanks, I put 10 votes on there... I'm assuming the 100 allowed is global, not just for this wish... don't want to waste them all...

Oliver: It's not protocol specific, I can't find a button to start a convo with someone not on my buddy list for any protocol.
Comment 4 Olivier Goffart 2005-03-28 19:33:38 UTC 
On MSN, this is possible => right click on the MSN account incon in the statusbar => start a chat ...
Comment 5 Compman 2005-03-28 23:39:08 UTC 
Ah, well there is still no way to do it on AIM or Yahoo...

Would this work with Jabber?

Any plans to fix this on AIM?
Comment 9 Matt Rogers 2006-02-23 20:02:46 UTC 
nope, not at the moment. That's not to say that I won't swoop in at some point and just implement this out of the blue. I generally never make plans when it comes to fixing bugs/implementing wishes, because i usually end up never keeping them. People then get annoyed, naturally, since i said i was going to fix it but i didn't, and then you know how the rest goes. :)

This is the same as a previous wish - unfortunately we don't sweep bugs.kde.org for duplicates very often.
