annotate src/savedstatuses.h @ 12125:3c1bac709234

[gaim-migrate @ 14425] Change /core/savedstatus/current and /core/savedstatus/idleaway to ints (they used to be strings, where the value was the title of a GaimSavedStatus). The value is now equal to the "creation" timestamp of a saved_status. The creation timestamp is used as the unique key. The primary reason for this is to allow for saved statuses to have NULL titles. NULL titles are needed for transient statuses. I also added a "last_used" timestamp. This all paves the way for keeping track of recently used statuses committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

/**
 * Saved statuses don't really interact much with the rest of Gaim.  It
 * could really be a plugin.  It's just a list of away states.  When
 * a user chooses one of the saved states, their Gaim accounts are set
 * to the settings of that state.
 *
 * In the savedstatus API, there is the concept of a 'transient'
 * saved status.  A transient saved status is one that is not
 * permanent.  Gaim will removed it automatically if it isn't
 * used for a period of time.  Transient saved statuses don't
 * have titles and they don't show up in the list of saved
 * statuses.  In fact, if a saved status does not have a title
 * then it is transient.  If it does have a title, then it is not
 * transient.
 *
 * What good is a transient status, you ask?  They can be used to
 * keep track of the user's 5 most recently used statuses, for
 * example.  Basically if they just set a message on the fly,
 * we'll cache it for them in case they want to use it again.  If
 * they don't use it again, we'll just delete it.
