Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael (mreding) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Main Window appearance Initial Comment: Hey there... I'm having a problem with my "auto-login" feature, and while typing out the problem, thought I might come put a suggestion for the main window/loggin screens... And the feature change might help if this is a big bug, and not just some fritz on my machine... The Bug id# is 1071453 if you want to check it out. Anways, on to the RFE... In Windows, if you don't have any accounts set to auto- loggin you get a screen very similar to the loggin screen of AIM. You know, with the username, password, sign on button.... etc... But that screen really really doesn't make any sense. I don't know of a single user that uses gaim that ONLY uses one client... Isn't that the whole point of gaim, is to be able to be on several clients at once? So, this first window makes that impossible, and makes you go through more steps... So, wouldn't it be easier, nicer to look at and use, if you had a window similar to the Accounts window? You know, the one where you can add, modify, delete, or sign onto your clients there? Seems this would help with the problem... And you could call the window Main instead of Accounts... Maybe add a button for Log Into All... or Disconnect From All, then a loggin button for each one, instead of the check... or maybe some other visual way of doing it. Not saying that the current way is bad, it's not. But it's just not effective for what it's even there for. I mean, why not skip that window all together and go straight to the buddy list.... That's my request. Hope it gets put in, but seems that all the updates lately have really been bug fixes and small things. Nothing major. I'm not complaining, I know how hard it is to work on this stuff, just in your free time, plus deal with all of us (your users) complaining and such. So, if someone has time to fiddle with this... even if it's not a developer, but someone who can program, then maybe you could offer an example and submit it... Can't screw it up that bad, could you? Thanks guys and girls for all your hard work on this project! Keep it up! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:00 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.
