Conversation Window Closed

noreturn · Post by **noreturn** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 2:51 pm

I only noticed today that I never get the "Contact closed the conversation window" notices anymore. This is sad because I liked being psychic.

I was about to file a TRAC, when I found this one: http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/2222

Is it true that this feature is being removed? If so, why would they keep the option in the preferences for 2 versions after that?

*Sigh*

Oh dear. There go my psychic powers. Anyone know why libgaim stopped the support?

Because it just didn't work.

Libgaim is upgrading to the new msn protocol... maybe when they finish that it will work, and will be availabe again.

Doubtful -- you'll need to make a good case to the Gaim folks that it isn't bloat for it to be reimplemented.

Well, I'm not really familiar with Libgaim or the MSN protocol, but is this kind of thing easy to add without gaimlib support? I'm asking for my own personal coding, not for anyone else to do it, btw.

You would need to implement it in libgaim.

Well is up to them. But there's a lot of people that like this.... (users of early adium vversion and MSGPLUS users)

Didn't msn 7 start sending out messages that look exactly like 'closed window' notifications exactly 60 seconds after a convo was opened? I'm almost certain this is the case, so unless gaim find some way to differentiate between the two or msn change their behaviour it's never gonna happen really is it?...

I read somewhere that those notifications, bad handled by libgaim and showed as "window closed", are in fact notifications MSN server sends warning that session was closed. A session is closed after 60 seconds of inactivity in order not to overload or something and doesn't mean the person who you're talking to closed the window.
It was what I heard.

in mercury (another mac IM client) it shows "msn has closed the conversation due to inactivity" and "the conversation has been closed by (name)" or something like that. so i guess that means it would b possible for libgaim to tell the difference
