Porting issues

Issues

urgent Prio:

• Config-Migration (0.9.5->0.9.6) + Suitable Initialisation-Values (list will follow later)
• offline contacts are on top, online contacts has to be on top of the list per default (more sorting problems below (view "SortingProblems:")
• 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...)
• ICQ Filetransfer [from SIM-IM (0.9.5 tested)] failes Fixed by Denis
• QCString=>QByteArray Conversation, strangs lineends Fixed by Denis

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.
  • Icons are not saved
  • On startup all seems initialized by 0.9.6, the 0.9.5-config gets broken due to this initialization Fixed by Denis
• Setup:
  • Icon-Plugin: Added Iconsets are processed but not saved in Config
  • SortingProblems:'
    • Plugins-Tree in Setup is not alphabetically sorted.
    • Setup::Interface::ContactList, sorting is not saved to config and not processed/working

        • 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

  • 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
