Tabs in text-ui should be able to be set so that it is displayed in treeview also. Reproducible: Always
May I ask why would you rather see a treeview instead of simple list?
Sure, a treeview would be useful if i have different networks/connections configured. so: - Jabber (jussi01@gmail.com) *Jim *John *James -Jabber (jussitestaccount@gmail.com) *friend *friend1 *friend2 Etc. Feel free to correct me if it wouldnt work like that. :) In anycase, Id like to have a listed channels/rooms/conversations thing, as opposed to tabs.
Ah, that makes sense, thanks for explaining. It *might* work exactly like you propose with the tree and something very similar was suggested recently on our mailing list. However there are some design issues which I'm still not particulary happy about and that is if you have only two-three contacts you're chatting with, there will be only two-three "tabs" on the side and the rest will be a grayspace (see http://i.imgur.com/kFrQY.png for a very bad illustration). Nevertheless I do agree that having standard tabs is not very usable for having more than three chats and that we need to think of something better.
Yeah, I have about 10-20 tabs open normally and its fairly inefficient (you'll notice several of my bugs are about making this more efficient). One thing you might want to look at for ideas are the irc clients in KDE - Konversation and quassel both have the ability to have the treeview thing. Please keep me in the loop whatever solution you decide.
I want to try this, so will do so and make a branch. We will then test for a week or two, and ask our usability guys. If it's amazing, we'll replace the tabs If it's good, we might make it an option if it's rubbish and annoying it won't get merged (you could still keep the patch I guess though :) )

Confirm this issue. Good solution can be multi-row tabs like in QIP: http://images3.download.ru/images/reviews/qip.jpg Good example how vertical tabs look and works you can see in Firefox extension Tree Style Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ I think that progress in this way is so slow, because Qt didn't have elements for this, so will be good to vote in Qt bugtracker for this feature: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22488
Other solution for this probjem can be multi-row tabs, here is issue in qt tracker about this: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-22487
Here you can see an example how we can do this with current QT version: http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/index.php?title=Customizing_QTabWidget%27s_QTabBar
Nice. The third one from left in the upper row could work sensibly, however if the tabs would have too long text in their title, it could look weird. Worth a try.
> if the tabs would have too long text in their title, it could look weird About this problem I already create other issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326976 :)
Missing vertical tabs with horizontal text in kde telepathy is very large problem for me, because when I open many tabs, I see it like this in Kopete: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/10/24/plasma-desktopQ19118.jpg or like this in current KDE Telepathy: http://i.imgur.com/Zq5XNrE.png - in both examples tabs are not usable for me... I use KDE Telepathy from GIT ppa for Ubuntu, so I can help you with debugging and testing. Please report here if you got any progress on this.

Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
