Version: 0.19 #3100 (using KDE 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.1 dapper) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-25-386 It seems reasonable to ask for a view filter to be added to Konversation's interface. Unlike URL Catcher though, the filter gets applied to the active tab view. It would be a universal feature (that is, it would be possible to filter the URL Catcher tab as well as chat windows). Unless lines starting e.g. @ or #, are treated differently than other chat commands in some way I don't know about, ! or ~ or # or @ could be used at the beginning of a line to signal the beginning of a filter string. The filter would remove every line in the chat history view, except for those lines containing the filter string. Subsequent filter commands in a given view would be imposed on the previous filters' results. The filter command on its own would reset the view to no filter.
Withdrawn pending KDE4 release. Report to be moved to wiki. http://wiki.kde.org/
I'm not sure we'd need any global filters, but the need for per-chan ones seem obvious to me. To my understanding, this could be an alternative solution to a few other requests : - possibility to ignore away messages https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124771 - Add ignore Message Type for Join/Part/Nick/Mode channel events https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145444 - Ignore replies to ignored nicknames https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118390
