Is there any solution to this with the current spec?
The solution is to inform others where you actually are. ;-) Just because you recently signed on with another resource does not indicate that you are physically there. If you have a laptop and a desktop both connected to Jabber with different resources, and both in different locations in your house, and you are standing in the hallway, where shall new messages go? I say ensure that the priority value is accurate for where you want new messages to go, and then your friends' clients should be able to use this as a hint. For a newbie client, you might have their chat window immediately switch resources to the highest priority. Maybe a more technical client just informs the user, "Mikael/Laptop, has signed on with a higher priority" (this could be an event / popup or something, or logged in the existing chat dialog). -Justin _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
