I concur with saepia and elPraga. It is painful to see that a half-done SIP program like Empathy made it into Ubuntu (no contacts = absolutely useless in practice), replacing a working piece of software like Ekiga.
Please add this feature ASAP. On a side note, I don't quite understand why contacts can only be stored if the plugin supports them. Contact information is quite universal (see GNOME Contacts for example) and should be stored by Empathy directly IMO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294991 Title: SIP/Ekiga accounts don't store contacts Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Fix Released Status in telepathy-sofiasip: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “telepathy-sofiasip” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy I'd like to be able to store some contact details for other users of Ekiga using Empathy. But the Add Contact dialog silently accepts my input but then doesn't show up the contact in my contacts list, even when I activate 'Show offline users'. Either it should be impossible to add SIP contacts, or else the bug should be fixed and the contacts stored and displayed.
