Summary: Group Offline Users

Initial Comment:
Hi! 
 
First of all: Thank you for Gaim, it's a great program
which I use almost daily. 
 
But I think, you could improve the usability alot by a
small change in the way you display offline users. I
have 43 users in my buddy list, not a very big number I
guess. I have choosen, that offline users arn't
displayed, but from time to time I like to look up a
conversation log, the user details or something else of
an offline user. Then I have to select Buddies -> Show
offline Buddies, scroll down to the specific user,
because my list is alot longer now. Afterwarts, I have
to disable this again.  
 
My suggestion is, that the first entry in each group is
called Offline Users and is an unfoldable list off all
users of this group, which are currently offline. That
way, you have only a few additional entries, if you
want to select an offline user, if you use the groups
proper. Also, I think that this is way more intuitive
for new users, which might not find the option to
hide/show offline buddies. 
 
I've made a screenshot, how this might look like. 
 
Regards, Johannes

i know there's ways to get around having the extra group,
but sometimes it's just a little bit convenient to have it.
it shouldn't be that hard to implement. most protocols have
it and a lot of clients do too. meebo's nice in that it's
got it and it's open source...basically my gaim replacement
when i'm not at my computer. maybe checking their code out
might help?

Adding comment from #994096 (Todd Karasick - chewyfood):
Im not sure if this is available in gaim or not...

in ICQ and AIM, official clients...maybe the other
networks too...the offline contacts appear in their own
separate group, as opposed to being incorporated into
their respective groups being shown as offline.

Is this able to be implemented into gaim?

While it's true this might be useful, I recommend you look at:

Buddies -> View User Log

It has autocomplete in 2.0.0. It still needs to be
contactified, but that'll be done shortly.

I like this idea too
and I think that can be used to set alert on offline user.

But I suggest to group offline user in a special group at
the end off the contact list (like MSN messenger)
