Description Xavier Poirot 2011-08-29 15:19:02 UTC
Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

It should be up to the user to set the "Global Away message" within the application.
I am running Konversation in a Danish environment, and the default message is "Borte for øjeblikket". I cannot change this message anywhere.

By "Global Away Message", I mean the message displayed on whois or queries, like "(____) is away : Borte for øjeblikket"

I know I can /away to put my personal message, though if you are connected on several servers, the Global Away is very useful.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
There should pop up a dialog box when we click on "Global Away" in File Menu, to ask us what message to type in and display in the /whois or queries.

This has been addressed in the development version a while back: On the "Away" tab of the Identity settings you can now specify the default away message that global away will use, as well as /away without a parameter, and so on.

(Another tip: /aaway sets all connections to away.)
Comment 3 Xavier Poirot 2011-08-29 16:40:19 UTC
My bad, I _TOTALLY_ forgot about the /aaway alias...
I am so sorry, I didn't find anything about this, that's why I filed this enhancement request...

Though I cannot find any message to input, in the Away tab in Identities.
I can only set up a custom nickname while away, a message to display when I go away (as if I write it) and a message to display when I am back (as if I write it)

And there is no option to set up the default message appearing in the /whois (NOT a message who would be written as if one wrote it, but the reason of the away, shown in /whois)

Away tab of the Identity settings

Please note that you're using 1.3.1 and I was referring to the development version, i.e. the "Default away message" field on the Away tab will show up in the next release or when you build the development version yourself. I've attached a screenshot here.
