Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 2 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Beardsmore (uilleann) Assigned to: Sean Egan (seanegan) Summary: Auto-login for 2.0 Initial Comment: gaim 2.0b1 no longer automatically logs you in on load, but returns to the same status as the program was in last time it was closed including Offline. Any chance it could let you ask it to *always* log you in if you were signed off before quitting? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-10 16:39 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.

Mac ICQ for example would automatically connect you but restore your last online state, e.g. away. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-12-23 11:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 basically, the design with 2.0.0 is to restore state. gaim -n allows to override this to go offline (and thus select any given state), but for most people most of the time, restoring state is the most nearly correct behavior. Autlogin is in many respects a crippled version of this, the request to start to away or start to invisible was quite frequently requested. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Beardsmore (uilleann) Date: 2005-12-23 10:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=473078 This is if you quit gaim with the blist window closed? By the way, I didn't mean "can gaim start minimised" but rather "if you do" -- in which case you may forget to manually connect it. This is more of a feeler RFE to get an opinion, although gaim's new interface mimics Mac ICQ which always connected automatically regardless of whether you were connected when you quit it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-12-23 09:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 starting with the beta, it is possible to start minimized to the tray icon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Beardsmore (uilleann) Date: 2005-12-23 09:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=473078 I sign off at work each night before I hibernate Windows, but last night I shut down instead :) It's just nice to have that reassurance. Not a big priority, but maybe nice if also you start gaim minimised. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-12-23 08:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 why not just quit gaim while still signed on? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1388771&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
