annotate libpurple/savedstatuses.h @ 30323:bb1d593f185c

Make the changes from Andrew Victor's 3113fa54190de8c27a27e7001e9d902dca70037c in im.pidgin.pidgin. The last line of that commit shouldn't be included here, so I'm making these changes by hand. When we merge that branch to here or vice versa it MIGHT conflict. But it should be pretty easy to figure out how to fix it.

/**
 * Saved statuses don't really interact much with the rest of Purple.  It
 * could really be a plugin.  It's just a list of away states.  When
 * a user chooses one of the saved states, their Purple 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.  Purple 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.
 */

/*
 * TODO: Hmm.  We should probably just be saving PurplePresences.  That's
 *       something we should look into once the status box gets fleshed
 *       out more.
