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: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Beardsmore (uilleann) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Passive file transfer notification Initial Comment: At present (gaim 1.0.0) gaim displays a dialog box on-screen for each incoming file transfer request (and for incoming direct connections in AIM) - I find these a complete nuisance, they appear whilst I am typing and as I hit the space bar they disappear before I can even read them. Macintosh ICQ has a nifty solution where incoming transfers are signalled by a flashing file icon in the corner of the conversation window, which you can double-click to accept or, I assume, deny the transfer. I'm proposing that Gaim offer the same, where a double-click on said icon brings up a transfer confirm window. This might be a bit cumbersome, so it might be nice to have the file save dialog appear immediately, where cancel aborts the transfer request (with the buttons labelled accordingly if GTK supports this). Maybe instead, a right-click menu for the icon with: Deny transfer Save file as... Accept transfer (items listed in descending order of safety in case you click the top item by mistake, the last one could be optional, and would download straight to a predesignated folder which in my case would be ~\My Documents\My Downloads\, I hate being bothered with annoying save dialogs that default to gaim's bin directory, the last place I am going to want to store incoming files) In fact, I'd recommend gaim never pop up *any* dialog because they too easily get dismissed with space bar before I can read them which really defeats their objective. In Windows, I'd prefer a backgroud window with a flashing taskbar button so I know to click - I do not know how well this would translate to any other UI, like KDE or Windowmaker. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
