Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Paul (threek) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: running wordcount notification to recipient Initial Comment: Currently several IM services support an "other side is typing" indicator of some sort in the recipient's chat window. This helps solve the ambiguity between an iminent response and no activity, but I propose something even more useful... What if the indicator also showed the running word and/or character count of what was being typed on the other end? This solves another kind of ambiguity -- where the sender has typed something but then thought better of it and deleted their text or closed the window altogether. Without a wordcount indication, the recipient sees just a typing indicator and then waits and waits but nothing happens. With the wordcount indicator they'd see the count go up, then back down to zero and would know not to expect a message. Also a wordcount indicator would help the recipient be patient when the sender is writing those marathon IM's since they would have some reassurance that indeed progress is being made.. Unfortunately being that Gaim is an integrator and thus you won't necessarily have Gaim on both ends of the connection, I don't know how possible it would be to implement this kind of extension. Maybe this feature would only work when both sender and recipient are using Gaim... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.
