Porting issues

Issues

urgent Prio:

• QCString=>QByteArray Conversation, strangs lineends Fixed by Denis
• (Filetransfer crashes, perhaps dependend on my changes above)
• Test and fix "New Profile" for working stable and secure (f.e. creating an ICQ-Account: No Status-Options are added to the menu. Cannot go online with this Profile)
• Test and fix "Change Profile" for working stable and secure (when changing back to old profile from above created, the old profile is broken...)

normal Prio:

• Plugins loading: Load only the used plugins, and no more and no less.
  • f.e. Splash:
    • splash isnt enabled but instead loaded, if enabled it is loaded and shown twice
    • splash is deleted prematurely due to profile-management (changeProfile() on startup)
• Config:
  • Metacontacts are not saved in Config. Contacts are seperated after restart of SIM again
  • Some Settings are saved in Registry in Win32 (QSettings?), this is a bad idea, if Sim-IM should be run on Computers with restricted access to registry f.e. it can't be written.
    Using %appdata%\sim for global .conf is better.
  • On startup all seems initialized by 0.9.6, the 0.9.5-config gets broken due to this initialization Fixed by Denis
• GUI-Problems:
  • Fix all toolbars:
    • CToolButtons don't have Highlight-Effect anymore
      • Popup has no QCursor::pos() (only with left Mousebutton)

      • Middle-toolbar:
        • shrinked toolbar (small container width): the ">>" is shown, but has no function on the right of the toolbar
        • FileButton has anyhow no function, wether this button nor in menu. (Should popup OpenFileDialog for Filetransfer) Fixed by Yury
        • some controls should be hidden in toolbar as in 0.9.5, show only the needed ones. (Restoration of the Toolbar/Container behavior) Fixed by Yury

        • some Buttons are broken on the left (color buttons), should be also popups like Emoticon-Button Fixed by Christian

        • vertical Online Statustext drawing Fixed by Yury
      • weathertoolbar Finished
        • Fetch Icons from Server, due to ©-Issues, remove static Icon-Files (note: backport to trunk) not needed, we have a licence, pointed by Yury

      • The Searchbutton (Filterbutton) is not displayed Fixed by Yury
      • History direction cannot be reverted with click on the corresponding arrow-Button Fixed by Yury
      • horizontal expanding of the controls does not work. Fixed by Tobias
  • Floatys are not as long as in 0.9.5 Still not same dimension but now longer, so that flashing text is still visible, by Tobias
  • dragging files on contakt in contactlist is not possible to send them via filetransfer, but works with floatys
  • sound-plugin event-tab: the path lines are not display right, also the play/browse buttons are shrinked ;) Fixed by Christian
  • Setup: Buttons, no Text on it (soundplugin f.e.) Fixed by Christian
  • Container/History: no context-menu on right click
  • clickable content (links, message items, like standard message, filetransfer, web url, sms...) is not processed/executed in history
  • Scrollbar is not moving down getting new messages Fixed by Yury

• Sound-plugin:
  • no startup sound is played
• Config/Setup-Window steals access to other windows (f.e. no possible acces to InterfaceWindow, MainWindow.. then.)
• Filetransfer-Window steals access to other windows, too
• Search:
  • after Clicking around: UIN-Field is not longer enabled, when clicking on UIN-Checkbox
  • Search ICQ: Partly Fixed by Yury
  • Search Jabber:
    • Labels are broken
• Translation: broken
• Tooltips: Fixed
  • are not shown, if mainwindow has no focus. should be shown. Fixed by Yury i assume?
  • don't work on Floatys Fixed by Yury
  • Online-Tooltips of contact list are hanging sometimes, they don't disappear Fixed by Yury

• OSD:
  • sometimes when there are multiple messages in short time distances, it seems, a new OSD is displayed or faded in over the existing, while the existing seems to be deleted previously. Perhaps we can handle it to get there a more smooth transition between this. so that the current existing OSD-window is used to display such messages like "2 messages from digger", "3 messages from digger" ...
  • Yury: ok, good idea, but some systems have more powerfull services for notification, Growl on Mac for ex. i think realase user selection of system/sim service
  • when existing OSD-window is used, the lifetime has to be extended, of course... ;)
  • Yury: when we close OSD widget, it shading at first and then really closes
  • Noragen: if it shades down, the "new" one has to wait until the old shade is finished..
  • Noragen: also to be done: only one Online-Alarm for joined contacts

• automatical ghost-protocol-toggeling while sending messages and Files
