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: irc Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: The Anarcat (anarcat) Assigned to: Ethan Blanton (eblanton) Summary: new option: stay joing after closing an irc channel window Initial Comment: I would regularly use Gaim as my IRC client if it would allow me to "join" channels while keeping those pesky channel windows away, the same way that, say, I am "joined" with my regular jabber contacts: I do not have to keep a window open to be reachable by them. Once they contact me, a window pops up, or optionnally, the tray icon logo blips. What I would like would be an option that would allow me to join IRC channels without having to keep that IRC channel window open. When activity is detected in the channel, some proper plugin/monitors could warn me their usual way. I guess this could be done by having a special setting in the IRC channels. When right clicked in the buddy list, one could have a "channel joined" toggle that would allow us to join/part channels without having the window open. All this because the current system doesn't scale: once you're in 4 channels, you have to keep 4 window open. This is unbearable, and not really within the general spirit of other IRC clients... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:01 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.

It would be nice if I didn't have to leave a window open all the time just to recieve several messages a day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: scat (vaclavovic) Date: 2005-04-27 05:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1267629 Yes, I agree, this is great idea. Especially for jabber conferences.

Incomming message would behave like all other IM messages do. If it is already possible, please excuse me being so lazy to find out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ondrej Svetlik (osvetlik) Date: 2005-04-27 05:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=633770 I vote for this one too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ethan Blanton (eblanton) Date: 2005-04-06 12:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=298616 This is not likely to be implemented. I disagree; it is very bearable, and very much in the spirit of _all_ other IRC clients. You need not have four windows open in your example, simply put four tabs in the same window.
