popup for messages if away and n/a

[ceinig@…]

A good feature would be, if messages popup even if the client status is away or n/a, because the just little, blinking icon in tray is very easy to survey.

erijo told me a way to activate this feature. for me it works without problems.

feel free to test it and report if you want this too, or not.

howto activate

debian way:

apt-get update
apt-get source licq
apt-get install libcdk5-dev libgpgme11-dev libxosd-dev libxss-dev

change line 1449 in mainwin.cpp (plugins/qt-gui/src) from

if (s == ICQ_STATUS_ONLINE || s == ICQ_STATUS_FREEFORCHAT)

to

if (s != ICQ_STATUS_OFFLINE)

change back to the root dir (licq-<version>) and do

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

from source: unpack source package

change line 1449 in mainwin.cpp (plugins/qt-gui/src) from

if (s == ICQ_STATUS_ONLINE || s == ICQ_STATUS_FREEFORCHAT)

to

if (s != ICQ_STATUS_OFFLINE)

change back to the root dir (licq-<version>)

./configure --with-kde
make
make install

I think this is an invalid bug report. The Away and N/A status are for when you are not using the computer. Why would you want things to popup when you are not using the computer? The real issue is the abuse of Away and NA.

As of r6143, Qt4-Gui can be configured to set for which statuses messages should popup automatically.
