Phase 2 of the conversation rewrite! Did you think I was done?
Okay everybody, the prefs page was slightly redesigned. Not much, though.
It needs an overhaul, and still, not everything works.. What we have now
is:
Conversations
|
|- IMs
|- Chats
`- Tabs
But that's not the good part of this patch. Oh no, not close. You see, in
Conversations, we now have a "Placement" drop-down box. Though this prefs
page is ugly and will eventually be redesigned, this gives you the
opportunity to set one of a number of different types of conversation
placement options.
The defaults are:
- Last created window: Adds the new conversation to the last created
window, like how things have been lately.
- New window: Adds the new conversation to a brand new window, every
time. Tabs are still there, so you can drag them between windows if you
want to manually group them.
- By group: This is my new favorite. This will put the new conversation
in whatever window it finds first that has another member from that
same group on your buddy list. If it doesn't find one, it creates a new
window. If the person you IM'd or the person who IM'd you is not on your
list, it gets put in a window with other people not on your list.
These are the only ones implemented, but don't think you're limited to
that. You see, we have new API functions for registering these
Conversation Placement functions. All a plugin would need to do is to write
a function, take into account OPT_CONVO_COMBINE (oh yeah, "Show IMs and
chats in same tabbed window" works again), make sure the conversation is
added _somewhere_, and then just register that function. If the plugin is
loaded, the user can select it from the existing drop-down box.
Cool, huh? Make sure to unregister the function when the plugin is
unloaded.
Have fun.
