Description Luke-Jr 2004-07-14 05:33:12 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.91)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Keep information for conversations/chats in a non-visible structure so the window need not be visible for the conversation to exist. This has the advantage of allowing the user to read a message, reply, and close the window. When the other person sends another message, the window should be just how they had it when it was closed... including history, text entry data, and possibly window sizes. There should be an option to reset/delete conversations after X minutes/hours.
This is the killer-feature that keeps me using Psi for my IM client instead of Kopete.

you can get this by enabling the history plugin...goto configure plugins > history...configure it to add back a few lines of history everytime a chat window is opened....you can even tell it to color the old lines in a diff color.
Comment 2 Luke-Jr 2004-07-14 08:31:07 UTC
That does not have the same effect. Will it add *all* the previous conversation and reset it after an hour or two? Will it save what I typed in the to-send-input-textarea so I can reopen the session later and send it? Window sizes?
Comment 3 raviyella 2004-07-14 08:51:25 UTC
it adds all the conversation (or the no. of lines you tell it to add). It seems  to just picks up the conversation from the kopete history system (dont remember exactly how you the kopete history works - dont have kopete running now). as for window sizes, yeah kopete doesnt support it...i just save the settings for the window using kwin.
Comment 4 Luke-Jr 2004-07-14 09:00:19 UTC
Still no mention on Kopete saving the text entry contents... for unsent IMs.
And none of this seems to have the ability to clear all saved info after X hours, either...
