Category: core Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Ryan Hayle (hackel) Assigned to: Richard Laager (rlaager) Summary: Allow choice of how to handle mobile contacts Initial Comment: Right now, Gaim seems to treat mobile contacts (identified with a cellphone icon) as regular, online buddies. I think it makes much more sense to prioritize these users below regular contacts, even if they are marked away. The order would then be: 1. Regular online contacts 2. Regular away contacts 3. Mobile contacts 4. Mobile away contacts (if they exist?) This would impact sorting the buddy list by status and also (most importantly) choosing which protocol appears as the default for a contact. The issue which brought this up is one of my contacts has his AIM mobile account signed in, but also real jabber and MSN accounts which are often marked away. No matter what I do, the contact defaults to showing his AIM mobile account which I don't want to use. I'd love to see this fixed or an option to chose the desired behavior at some point in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-09 21:15 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.

Because I can never tell if someone switches to mobile or off mobile, unless I look at the icon on my buddy list or the little icon on the tab of their IM. It would be great if that was added into the buddy state notification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steve Cavilia (stuuf133t) Date: 2005-12-26 18:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=809699 another related issue: the buddy state notification plugin NEEDS to be able to say something when someone logs out and (implicitly) switches to mobile, and the aim info window needs to show mobile status. currently guifications will show an away of offline event, but otherwise the rest of gaim, except the icon in the buddy list, tells you the person is still online. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1389104&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
