"Show Group Online Count" vs "Show Group Visible Count"

Post by kfaulhaber »

I know this has been discussed before, but I don't think I've been clear on my end.

In 1.2, there was an option under the view menu to Show Group Online Count. In 1.3 this was changed to Show Group Visible Count.

The issue for me is that I keep my offline contacts visible, so in collapsed groups, there is no longer a way to see how many contacts are online without expanding the group. Unless I am missing something, this is a feature that was removed in 1.3. Before I create a ticket, I wanted to be sure I was clear this time around.

Hm, there is no need to file a ticket, I think. I doubt this will be changed.
You can easily check the amount of online contacts by just changing Adium to not show offline contacts (toggling with Shift-cmd-H doesn't seem like a huge burden to me :)).

Well, that's kind of my point, a feature was removed and now I need to go through extra steps to reproduce the same functionality.

I posted here first to get some feedback because if I am in the minority missing this feature, I won't pollute the trac system with this.

I too would quite like to see this feature back. It's surprising how much something so small can be missed so much!
