Category: oscar Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mark Kalmanczhelyi (kalmark) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Summary: ICQ should not switch Privacy on Status change Initial Comment: Hi, This is half a feature req, half a bug report - and I also only try to suggest a resolution, not patching it, as I'm not familiar with GAIM codebase. So, the current GAIM 2.0 cvs situation is the following: if I switch from one ICQ status to another (say to DND from Occupied), my ICQ privacy status changes to "Block only the users below". As that list is empty for me, everyone is suddenly allowed to connect me. Well I think the culprit is somewhere in this region: oscar.c:6598-6601 In my opinion the privacy status set in the else branch should be something selected by the user, not something always chosen by default. I changed the else branch to "account->perm_deny = GAIM_PRIVACY_ALLOW_BUDDYLIST;" for myself, but it really should be a preference somewhere. Also on a separate note, it would be nice to implement disabling the status display on the ICQ webpages. Thanks for looking into this.

Better privacy support is on our list of things to do, so there's no need for another feature request about it. And the ability to disable the status display on the ICQ webpages will exist in Pidgin 2.0.0, once it's released. It can be toggled from Accounts->ICQ #->Set Privacy Options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2005-11-16 21:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 This is intentional. It's how the official ICQ clients behave. For ICQ, the privacy setting determines your visibility/invisibility. To make it seem less stupid we need a new privacy API. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1358431&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.
