Category: core Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: dino4kataris (dbddhkp) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: split gaim into two programs Initial Comment: i know how much work it is, i know it is perhapst a little bit crazy =) 1) split gaim into a deamon and a fronted. So you can run the deamon on an other pc that stays everytime online - an connect with a fronted to the deamon from pc in the lan - perhapst at first from the pc on the desktop and later from the notebook sitting on a couch? And much more would be possible with it =) 2) make the deamon multi-user usebal. So that the deamon has im-accounts on the one side and lokal user on the other. Now they are assign to each other. So that in the lan one pc is connectet to the internet and 2 (or more pcs) are connected to this one running only the gaim fronted. 3) Perhapst a im-acc can owned by two users, so that both of them can anwser incomming massages, but also see what the other write ;) m`kay? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Not only does it involve a prohibitive amount of work overhauling the entire program only for a convenience, it would only be useful to a small number of people. An instant messaging client is a single program to facilitate using a computer for communication. Turning it into a daemon would be a poor design choice. Moreover, enacting this kind of split would make gaim very slow due to the interprocess communication latency. Big drawbacks so a small number of users can connect from a portable second computer on the couch. If you really wanted this, I think the best bet would be creating a Gaim plugin to allow remote control of the gaim application, and a client to interact with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jrharris42 (jrharris42) Date: 2005-03-21 09:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1241463 The solution to the configuration needing to be duplicated from computer to computer? Point your .gaim folder to a shared folder on the network. Set an environment variable GAIMHOME to point to your shared folder. Now, all the computers on your network use the same Gaim settings, buddy list, IRC settings, whatever. Conversation logs will also be global, so you don't have to remember where you were sitting when you got a message from someone to be able to refer back to it. It's what I do here at work - no matter what PC I login on (out of hundreds) I have the same buddy list and configuration options set. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dino4kataris (dbddhkp) Date: 2005-03-18 12:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1127846 1) yes, without it would be... ;) the hole history of a chat-session has to transfer when connecting to the deamon and if new sessions where opened (because someone talk to you while your are not connected to the daemon, but it is online) they have to open in the frontend too..., so the network has to be fast :p oh yes i already have a gateway ;) but know i have to close gaim on the one pc (so all ims disconnect) and open it on the other - so when I edit something a have to change it often - saving the budylist on the servers doesnt work everytime as it as to work. And irc buddy / chat-rooms you have to add on every pc seperatly... so your buddy list looks everytime a little bit others :-/ then are some logs are and some there :( 3) what i mean is something else... its would be good for thing like this: there is one aim account and someone is writing to - and two people were able to answer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kent (valkyriekl) Date: 2005-03-18 10:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1240170 1) would your daemon/client-frontend idea include message queuing, like ICQ, where you can send another user a message, even if they're offline, and then the other user can get the message when they come online? secondly, you can configure the other PC (the one that stays on/online all the time) as a router/gateway w/ the correct software so you can connect to the internet (and everything you can connect to on the internet) from your laptop, through the other PC. 3) Isn't this functionality handled by a multi-user chat? I'm only using OSCAR (AIM/ICQ), so I don't know how other services handle multi-user chats. Wouldn't the person(s) on the other end want to know just who is speaking to whom? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1165510&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
