Re: XMPP Visability
pidgin does not support xmpp visibility settings as there isn't (yet) a good standard for supporting that. As to whether you can apply invisibilty settings to groups of people at once that depends entirely on the capabilities of the protocols involved. I believe some support that and some do not (but don't recally any specific details). -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

XMPP Visability
Hello. Just joined this group now. I've d/loaded the latest version of Pidgin a few days ago (Ive used older version before).. 1) When i'm invisible, i can right-click on a user/person, allow them to see me. However, I can't do this with XMPP accounts. (Or is there another way ?) 2) is there a way to move a person, or multiple people to a 'group' check 'presence settings' for the entire group at once ? so they can see me online ? basically, I want to be left alone, for a few hours a night, but allow 'important' folk to see me.. - if needed. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Right, that's what we are saying. I guess i'm lost / or people are getting confused.. :- Yahoo Messenger :- has protocol to be visable (per member) :- Has Protocol to be invisable (per member). Correct Pidgin can activate / use these 2 protocols.. Correct :- pidgin remembers permanently (within the pidgin system - NOT Yahoo), which members I want to be permanently visable too.. Not so sure about that. You'd have to ask a dev. when i log in, pidgin knows I want to be visable to ABC member - it activates the 'visable' protocol.. The permanent visable part doesn't need to be implemented within Yahoo messenger itself. Maybe, but you might try and see if you could script it in a buddy pounce for whenever you login. Where is the URL to submit a pidgin idea ? i'll submit it... Bugtracker is the way to go bro (: No worries - Just an idea - pidgin can use Yahoo's protocols to become BETTER than Yahoo :) Not sure how Yahoo would like that, but that would be awesome -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Visability...
Good day. when using pidgin, (one of the recent versions..) I can mark a yahoo person as showing on my screen, even if they are logged off (I do not show other logged off people).. now, this setting sticks remains for that particular person - no matter how many times I log off log back in, I can always see their status / name on my screen (I want this)... However, If i am invisible - i can mark a person, so they can see me as online - even if I am invisible. This setting, does NOT stick - I have to manually do that each time I log in... (I do see a permanently OFFline setting, so they can NEVER see me online) - Can there be a permanently ONline setting / option ? Is there a setting in the latest version of pidgen, so BOTH of these settings stick and i dont have to manually adjust them when i log in... - If it does do that, I'll d/load the latest version) If the second option is not yet available, who do I contact to make a suggestion ? -- G Freecycle Auckland :- http://www.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I haven't used it in so long I haven't a clue. I'd be surprised if it were and hasn't already been incorporated in Pidgin. That would be a very useful option and I'd be willing to file a feature request based off your email (if that would be ok with you). -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
