Description

When a new group is created, it will not be shown if "Show empty groups" is not set.

Should we:

  • keep groups without contacts visible?
  • hide the group temporary (fade out)
  • remove this feature?

Removing the feature, I'd prefer not; it's nice for everyone wanting a clean list (that includes me ;) ). I'd better force showing the new group for some time..

Keeping groups with zero total contacts visible is the best option. Let's go with it.

As of this topic, I'm reopening this ticket.

We need to find a better way to manage empty groups.

My suggestion is to highlight the new group and keep it visible until KMess is closed. A possible implementation would have an extra bool set to true in the new Group (which is not saved along the Group's settings, to achieve the 'until closed' effect), and makes the Delegate to show it differently, and the Filter to not hide the new group.
