Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages There should be a way to save custom emoticons and images received (and sent) in a discussion. The more logical way would be a "Save as..." option with a right click on an image. Currently, a right click gives the possibility to save the entire discussion even if the click happens on an image in the discussion. I think this feature use to be in Kopete in KDE 3.5.
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.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.
