Version: 0.7 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1 -march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer OS: Linux I really love the raise window/tab on new messages feature, except when I'm using kopete as an IRC-client. I'm subscribed to a lot of channels with high volume traffic. When I turn on the raise window/tab on new messages feature and use IRC I cannot work anymore because the chat window is placed on top almost every second. I also use IRC mostly for read only, therefore I like it to stay minimized so I can read it when I want. For the other protocols (jabber, msn, etc.) I really love the raise window/tab on new messages feature, because these protocols are less (low) volume traffic and mostly read/write. For me this is very nice usability-option. I know and appreciate that every protocol supported in kopete is treated equally. I'm not requesting to turn off the raise window/tab on new messages feature for IRC, because users with less volume traffic might like this options also with IRC. Therefore I request that the behaviour for notifications (balloon, sound, raise window/tab, etc.) is configureable per protocol.
Extending the "look the same" to "sound the same". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56751 ***
Eh, this is not the same thing. I reopen This bug because i agree with the user. Raise window on every IRC message is a bit anoying. That's why i would like to make a difference for this feature. I don't want to configure this by protocols. but i want to make the difference GroupChat/Single chat Or at least don't raise the windows mor message with a low priority (every message in a irc channel has a low priority, exepted highlighted one)
Thats a good idea, perhaps you could only get it to raise on: when your nick is said (NickHighlight is already built into kopete) or when you get a /notice or a kick or some other things (i.e. bans, exceptions, invites). Perhaps it could be a sub-option in the IRC protocol configuration to have it raise/not raise on important message. This wouldn't be independant of, but complimetary to the "Raise window on chat message" in the behaviour tab. Just a thought.
Great suggestion, I like it better than my proposal. If the raise window/tab on new messages feature is turned on the window in Single chat is raised for every message. If the raise window/tab on new messages feature is turned on the window in Group chat is raised only for high priority messages. This applies for every protocol so the application stays constistent and it should be easier to implement, because NickHighlight is already built into kopete.

This doesn't affect the raise on new chat; but you can now set custom notifications per contact.
We now have the insfrastructure to differentiate between IM style chats and chatrooms, so this should be doable
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.
