Reconnecting to all services

Post by RealityMonster »

In previous versions of Adium, there was a menu option to reconnect to all services. Now the services have been split up, so I have to chose each one that I want to reconnect to. This is somewhat inconvenient, since I have to reconnect all my services at least twice a day for whatever reason.

Am I just missing where the 'reconnect all' is, or was it actually removed?

Okay, it turns out I lied somewhat. I have to reconnect all except ONE of my services.

Unfortunately, if even one service is active, choosing to go active does nothing at all. I have to disconnect all of them and then connect all of them. It's a little hard to bind to one keystroke, which is what I'm trying to get at here. (I actually have it bound to a press of my Griffin Powermate, which is quite convenient.)

Just make sure all your accounts except that one are checked in the Accounts preference pane, it will work from the Status menu as indicated above.

Hmm. When I go into the accounts preference pane and uncheck a service, it disconnects me from it. That DOES make the Status menu option work as you said it would, but only because everything is disconnected. Connecting to the service checks it off again.

Maybe I'll lay everything out to be more clear.

I have three services that I'm most commonly connected to: AIM, MSN and ICQ. I use the MSN and ICQ services at work, so when I fire them up there, it disconnects me at home.

When I sit down at home and reconnect, I have to select the two individual services and manually reconnect them. It used to be that I could use some global reconnect menu item, and it would reconnect them all, regardless of their status. This was in line with most other clients I've seen. (Including trillian, which I use at work.)
