Created attachment 105662 [details] Patch to hide command messages from channel buffers. When entering a channel konversation shows several command messages like the topic, who set the topic, channel modes. These messages are also shown if the server connection is lost (e.g. due to suspend of the machine) and reestablished. As the channel modes and topics seldom change, the buffers (especially if they have low traffic) are just flooded with completely equal messages (if you use a laptop you might reconnect several times a day). AFAICT it is sufficient to modify `appendCommandMessageToChannel` and `appendCommandMessage` methods to get the desired behaviour. I have append a patch that hides these messages if the hide join/part option is set. Probably this is not the best option and one should add another configuration option to do the same.
We use Phabricator for patch review. Please add your patch there using https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/diff/create/ and selecting Konversation repository.
I can do this. But this was not meant to be a patch, just an illustration what I did as a quick hack. I rather thought to start a discussion whether my requested feature should be implemented and how, and then I could try to craft a proper patch. But maybe phabricator is the right place to do this?
Yes, phabricator is the right tool, because people can add comments at specific code line changes. If you are really unsure, ask on the mailing list first. https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/konversation-devel
