Auto connect to a chat server & join Chat room

[blob2k]

Hi,

after restart muwire there is no chat joind to a chatserver and room i must do everytime manually, it must do auto join like on a irc server & join room.
There is no public chat server active? would be nice when starting muwire join to the chat room.

I miss:

• Auto connect to a chat server
• Auto join rooms
• Avatars for Nicknames in Chat (set a Avatar or random avatar generator)
• Avatars for your Contacts
• ToolBar icons for the main buttons
• Icons for the Inbox, OutBox, Sent

Avatar generator:

Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I can address most of the issues you raise, but for some I will need help.

Auto connect to a chat server
Auto join rooms

I can do these, no problem.

Avatars for Nicknames in Chat (set a Avatar or random avatar generator)
Avatars for your Contacts

An avatar generator would be easy. But it would be better if each user can upload their own avatar which is associated with their ID. That would be more work and would require several releases to roll out.

ToolBar icons for the main buttons
Icons for the Inbox, OutBox, Sent

I need some help finding icons which are licensed with a GPLv3-compatible license. I can't create the icons myself.

Feeds is selected but the right button is always highlighted, it happens on every main buttons

I've seen this, I've no idea what's causing it. I'll try to investigate.

Issue on the box selection, Inbox, Outbox, Sent,

What exactly is the issue here?

You see right side is a wasted blank grey field.
normal Inbox, Outbox, Sent must use the complete field

Yes i thinked to upload own avatar would be great, when user doesnt adds a own use avatar generator to create the avatar.

i can have a look if i find gpl icons

another request:

• use on Chats only show nicknames not complete adress ( to view the full id adress view via details window or via tooltip)

[zlatinb]

use on Chats only show nicknames not complete adress

That's a nice idea, a tooltip can show the full nickname in the list of participants window. I think the full nickname should still be shown in the text area where the chats go to make impersonation harder.

I like them, did you create them? If it was you please let me know what license you want them under. Being GPLv3 MuWire is compatible with GPLv3, LGPLv3, Apache2, and probably the CC* licenses. It is not compatible with GPLv2 and probably LGPLv2. Anyway I'm not an expert on this stuff but I want to make sure it's compliant.

[blob2k]

yes i created, gplv3 or cc license.

Great, thanks. I'm very busy this month (November) but I'll make sure the icons go in the next release which is planned for mid-January. If I manage to commit them earlier, I'll ping you to build from source if you like.

hi any news? not yet toolbar/button icons? or Avatar support?

[zlatinb]

Hi,

Auto-join chat room is implemented in 0.8.11. Auto-connect to chat server not yet, but I'll try to do it in the near future.

Icons on the buttons can happen, but I need to make sure they look good on all bundled themes. You can help me by trying out the different themes that are in 0.8.11 and making sure the icons you built fit.

Chat: emoji support in is more difficult, in fact I'm not sure how to do it correctly but I will think about. Not likely to make it in the next release though (due mid-April).

Avatar for contacts: this one is going to be tough, many changes are required including to network protocols. I really don't promise it will until after 1.0.0.

Hello, auto-connect to a chat server is now implemented in 0.8.12-beta4. There is a button on the Chat tab called Favorite Servers where you can add the servers you want to connect to on startup.

You can download beta4 from clearnet or from my MuWire feed.
