Gaim TODO List

UI stuff

need to be able to copy/paste smilies

done some time ago

resizing text entry area below default doesn't work well.

wysiwyg and changes from that time period fixed this

some people report being unable to shrink it at all

copy grabs html as well as text.

wysiwyg solved this

kicking someone in #name-extension causes a kick to display in #name as well and vice-versa

SEARCH FUNCTION FOR LOG FILES

current function only highlights every other entry (sf bug 980075)

fix crash when someone writes just as you close the chat window.

Save buddy icon option does not work, it saves a screenname.icon file which is not openable.

status report w/out being on own list

option not to raise windows on event while away

make entry widget height preference a relative size, that is it doesn't change the overall height of the window.

buddy pounce stuff

drop down list of buddies

I think tab complete for the field solves this

blist does not resize correctly on some platforms. this does not seem to be an issue on linux.

better gtk2-ified icons: maybe a send icon? review the ones we're using now. do they make sense?

do not automatically resize windows that have been manually resized.

is this fixed?

when a new tab is created

I think this is solved now that tabs always display

when a buddy icon is received

when an im image is received

block buddy option from right click menu in blist

blist short cuts apparently not working

display status overlay for buddies on the blist that have been blocked

option to have input box scroll instead of line wrap. input box only.

Transparency for GtkIMHtml

Prefs stuff

make sure prefs save

move plugins out of prefs to their own dialog

preference to set logfile path. (i think there is a patch to add this)

add ircproxy option to proxy preferences.

per-sn controls on how to compute idle time

Core stuff

encryption and hash stuff currently in gaim consolidated to an api

cipher api

PERMIT ONLY PEOPLE ON MY LIST TO IM ME IS NEEDED ASAP!!!!!!!!

for yahoo

icq

msn

documentation needed. (both online and not)

better privacy controls.

networking code rethink (libgnet?)

Cancelable proxy_connect

away rethink

make it possible to create a state with exceptions

make it possible to use a saved state

Away needs to be modified to include "show" and "status", i.e. you can have an away state, and an away message. This is exactly what ICQ does - you're "N/A" (show in Jabber) and your away message is "I'm gone." (status in Jabber). Since it only applies to ICQ and Jabber (and actually, currently only Jabber, since icqlib doesn't handle away messages yet), there should be some way of indicating that it can do both without breaking the others. My suggestion is to put "/" at the end of the "state", and when that's there, have it be a menu with all of the custom messages, e.g. in Jabber it'd return "Away/" as one of the states, and you'd see "Away" with a menu of all the away messages you have.

WinGaim specific stuff

wingaim: Gtk windows that appear when you hover over a button, and just stay there and never close until you click on them once

with 3 or more tabs, only the right most tab is closable. this appears to be a gtk for win32 problem

wingaim font issues

wingaim: sounds while away?

Write a seperate program that implements multiple-users. It should encrypt/decrypt .gaimrc's based on a provided password, then launch gaim -f, with that .gaimrc.

gaim-remote stuff

GAIM-REMOTE: need a doc written up for gaim-remote on usage

GAIM-REMOTE: need to implement everything listed in gaim-remote --help

In General (i don't know where this should be)

person support

faceprint added it

fix memory leaks

gzip storage of logs

a plugin could do this now

throwaway away message (unsaved) for single account (vs. set all away)

add state saving and hook it to session management and user dialogs

importing/exporting blist files

export one account's worth of blist.xml

import whatever we export, to any account

licq

trillian

adding and removing buddies needs cleaned up. basically, add_buddy should be calling ui_add_buddy and serv_add_buddy as needed (require an extra arg to add_buddy to tell it what needs done) and the various ways a buddy can come to be needing added should be calling some type of request_add_buddy (this would be part of both the core<->ui interface and the core<->prpl interface)

some way to ask about differences bettween server lists and local lists

Plugins/Scripts

move to gobjects and gsignals

sean's plugin ideas

screenshot plugin

xmms remote plugin

statusimage plugin

docklet stuff

make the docklet support blinking status icons where appropriate (requires setting up a better GAIM_STOCK_ICON framework)

DISCUSSION: entries here are things i'm not sure are desirable or doable.

do we really need some of the preferences? (Ignore TIK messages. Does anyone use that method of retrieving Away messages anymore? no, but it is small and it would be a piece of history lost ;-))

prefsslash04

"console beep" sound option should use different frequency beeps for different events, or at least give some way to allow this behavior.

ximian serial numbers in rpms cause... problems.

msn auth expires (better, but still not perfect)

gaim should detect if message is sent and only log on success for protocols capable of offline messaging, this would always log, but aim messages would only be logged if sent to an online person. this would essentially entail making logging dependent on the return status of the serv send msg command.

the privacy dialog has five different options now. this looks rather ugly. When we redesign the dialog, perhaps we should change the privacy setting to a combobox?

protocol action to log into webmail for those that support such (aim, yahoo, msn) maybe a right-click option to send to user(yahoo, msn)

show alias in list of people in chat

tab complete to alias, translate to nick on send for chat

sorting of conversation tabs, if the ordering of left-to-right order by opening isn't good enough for you

option to disable close for x seconds after receive im. this would short circuit missing messages as you close the window. make it an option that's off by default.

options on key bindings. (different window managers map different things).

make the control key switchable with the alt key or similar)

maybe make control/alt+arrow optionally replace control+bracket (since control-pageup and control-pagedown work, i'm inclined not to do this)

make the option to have escape close a window be global (error messages, account editor, etc.)

autotools/gettext

automake 1.4 support bug, non-root users can't get gaim to compile by putting the gtk2 and glib2 m4 files in the m4 dir

automake 1.[56] support not perfect.
