Created attachment 37808 [details] konversation-1.2 default config fix version following kdelibs-4.3+ api
The DCC destination path was already fixed in SVN on October 15th (back to the previous default of $HOME/dccrecv). The other configuration options you changed, like enabling the tray icon by default, are the way they are intentionally (and have been this way for years) and will not be changed.
Hm, after having a second look, using KGlobalSettings::downloadPath() for the DCC folder might not be a bad idea though. I'll ask our DCC maintainer.
Created attachment 37864 [details] Removed the hide on startup Plz keep the other default config change. - Left tab is required to allow having more than 20 channels and keep a usable ihm. - Activate trayicon like does kopete, that way end user will know there is this possibility - Skip useless event and similar are mandatory to avoid beeing notified by anoying bot or similar noise on non-unix-guru channels - downloadPath is required to finish sending files in non xdg dir - log is required to finish send logs in home dir
i just reopen because of the new patch
> - Left tab is required to allow having more than 20 channels and keep a usable ihm. Most users don't start out joining 20 channels, and with relatively few channels, the treelist version of the tab bar is a waste of screen space. Our defaults are designed to cater to new users, not power users. We expect power users to be able to change the position of the tab bar on their own. > - Activate trayicon like does kopete, that way end user will know there is this possibility We strongly object to applications polluting the system tray by default. Tray icons should be opt-in, not opt-out. We also don't believe in enabling features by default merely to advertise their existence; that is bad software development practice. > - Skip useless event and similar are mandatory to avoid beeing notified by anoying bot or similar noise on non-unix-guru channels That join/part/nick events are "useless" is your personal opinion. It is not ours. We do not believe that an IRC client should hide them from users by default, and indeed no popular IRC client I'm aware of does. > - downloadPath is required to finish sending files in non xdg dir This has been discussed with our DCC maintainer -- he likes it and will make the change. > - log is required to finish send logs in home dir I can't see any compelling reasons to hide the logfiles in a hidden directory structure where they're difficult to access. IRC users tend to want to grep their logfiles frequently; the default log path reflects that. I understand that you prefer to have your IRC client configured differently, and that's fine, that's why we have these options. Defaults are not for everyone. But please do realize that in chosing the defaults, we have a greater audience to consider than just you, or ourselves for that matter.
(An addendum to the join/part/nick events thing: Note that these are classified as "Channel events" and won't light up the tab labels by default, for example. Thus there's no need to "to avoid beeing notified by anoying bot or similar noise" because there in fact is no such notification by default. Your change would disable them from deing displayed in the text views by default, which is a definitive no-go.)
