Minor annoyances To Do

Edit this page to note all minor issues which aren't worth an entire ticket - and you know you'll fix the next day or so!


Random Stuff Which Sometimes I Jot Down Quickly

by Valerio

  • Mirror the sheep and the other animal emoticons; also align them to baseline. Some "equivocal" custom emoticons assume you have these two things in place, which is the case under WLM.
  • Need to test, again, how all widgets behave when showing HTML text and the MSN+ formatting is turned on then off. Possibly twice, to avoid more of those little bastard bugs we've been fixing for months.
  • Sometimes a background chat somehow looks for a chat window, and the contact in that chat gets added to an existing chat tab where it doesn't belong. ~ Maybe this is fixed already? --Valerio
  • Suggestion: An icon like kopete's to display if all messages have been successfully sent or not?
  • Possible issue: when you logout or close KMess, any open connection gets closed, so if there's unsent messages, you may lose them.
  • In chat notification messages (like nudges notifications) emoticons in nicknames aren't parsed.
  • If a contact sends me a "culo" emoticon, then changes the shortcut to "chiappa", then sends me a message with "culo chiappa", I can see both as emoticons instead of seeing the second one only. Can we do anything about this (rather small) issue or is it better to just ignore it?
  • If your chat style's background color is too similar to a contact's text color, KMess should override it automatically (to avoid showing white-on-white text, for example).
  • At the moment we drastically ignore all switchboard errors, but some are useful: if the connection or a contact join somehow fails, the notification connection should know it, so it can remove that connection from the active chat requests.
  • Can we please give a fuck about MSN+'s authors concerns and implement MSN+ Sounds like aMSN already does? Who are we to lag behind, fools?
  • Closing to tray shows a dialog with a screenshot of the tray icon; but the 'shot is wrong if the tray is on top of the screen, or if the tray icon is hidden somehow (hiding panels, mostly).
  • Are Kopete chat styles so completely different from ours, that we can't allow using them in KMess? Also, they're compatible with Adium's styles, so enabling this would be double the cool!

Offline messages

  • diederik: Status message with error is not displayed.

Network stuff

  • diederik: see if the SSL connect issues Jan has are fixed with the recent SOAP changes (in progress).
