Required XML Encryption groupchat should log presence changes gcuserview: proper sorting of contacts based on status / alphabetical (like ContactView) server info: show server version in tooltip ssl information dialog (show cert and maybe connection info) local contact settings: checkboxes for accepting various things: messages; files; URLs; chats \ [each has a checkbox option: only from my contact list, or... only from this GROUP on my contact list] be alerted when the contact changes status or comes online (etc) option: ignore headline messages (die MSN) annotations (notes about the user) log history or not activity log window high level logging of connection status, presence changes, messages timestamps "find" feature Richtext messages revamp history system: ability to restore entire chats, show in normal order, not reverse "properties" dialog (could be last entry in cvlist context) for setting groups and subscription, etc. \ it could also show client time / version file downloading nice dialog after file received, there should be the options: "Open" and "Open folder" put each received file into a folder for the contact (optional) if a specific directory is chosen, the dialog should have a history of the most recent download \ folders (10 maybe?) Advanced Alerts (sound, popups, etc) Ignore list plugin system Important 'find' feature for chatdlg checkbox to keep eventdlg open (both send and recv). for send, it should reset the content after sending. statussetdlg should automatically click ok in 10 seconds (unless you press a key) ability to flag which accounts are affected by the mass status change button (should be in account context menu) cv: group headings should have a better design than just a rectangle (gradient?) add "Go to Website" and x:oob in presence ability to do various iq requests to arbitrary jids: version, time, info multi-monitor support: windows should pop up on the same display as the main window? merge all contacts into one column, rather than dividing by account consolidated contacts send contacts save/load contacts (hint: use QCheckListItem for dialogs) exporting dialog for selecting contacts to export to file write to file importing import a list from file dialog for selecting contacts to import tell the server about the new contacts check for dups offline animation (door slam) chathistorydlg a nice window to display chat history maybe a menubar with some features like "save to file" ? show/hide times show/hide/rename other person (for privacy) floating contacts (controlled by cvlist?) full message archive dialog (tree/explorer view for choosing contacts on left, display area on the right). Update all (mass user info check) Detecting network connection status. option to auto-connect when network is available. startup argument to select profile ability to execute a shell command on event option to display (in realtime) the cvlist as 'flat', ie without groups voice chat option to launch on startup (platform dependent, good luck) different color choices for different group types transport-specific roster icons deal with presence errors when subscribing command line args? psi.exe --psi-data dir have separate status presets depending on the status type Extra ability to flag a contact or group to always be shown even if they would not be (due to visibility toggles) allow eventdlg and chatdlg inputs to drag / drop URLs (in both directions) translation packs for the Qt library itself?? check to see if app is already running when launched. if it is, then: ask if they really want to open it again if they say yes, then disable auto-open for profiles save presence changes to history? win32: docking (all optional) grapple to edge of screen, like ICQ for windows auto hide: after a certain period of inactivity, "slide" the window off the screen auto hide delay: time to wait before sliding off right-click in chat/eventdlg should have options to paste your current URL or IP address KDE-enhanced mode "previous" button in the eventdlg? Autoresponses? (with general and customized texts) auto close chat windows that are not in focus after so many minutes of inactivity The Main Window's Icon should change when new messages arrive, just like the dock icon does. Ability to filter messages based on words (maybe even shell command filters) Ability to compose messages and send at a later specific date (or when you or the recipient go online) option to autohide main roster window after a set period of time supporting BOLD and ITALIC in jabber msges by using * and / like you do in newsgroups .. Licq supports replacing some %s with information on the sender of the message and other things. (There's a list below) IT supports these in OnEvent, auto responses (check status), and utilities For example: sound player "~/scripts/say", on message "%a has just sent you an I.C.Q. message" %a - user alias %e - email %f - first name %h - phone number %i - user ip %l - last name %m - # pending messages %n - full name %o - last seen online %O - online since %p - user port %s - full status %S - abbreviated status %u - uin %w - webpage Ability to specify an arbitrary time for chatdlgs to stay active (x minutes/hours/days) "small mode" - put mainwin buttons (and toolbuttons) into the cvlist right-click option to have sounds not play when XA (but still play when Away) option to have mainwin/dock status follow a specific account rather than "best choice" option to show status message in parenthesis to the right of the contact (like yahoo) ability to "auto-reconnect" to a transport? cv: let the user choose how the list is sorted group ideas: option: sort or not choose order of groups and contacts with drag and drop save order on the server support empty groups that get removed on signoff Have a way of marking some people as 'important' contacts, so they will always trigger sound psuedo-chat support like Mirabilis ICQ / Licq (ie, split window, but still used like normal messages) friendlier infodlg. get rid of those lame tabs cvlist sorting options sort by group, online/offline split sort by group, online/offline together sort by group and by status sort by group and alphanumerically sort by status without groups sort alphanumerically without groups sort by online/offline straight alphanumerical sort cvlist select multiple? right-clicking on status button should bring up a list of accounts, each with submenus that would set \ the status of the chosen account. option to have psi remember your password for the running session Remember last status when psi quits (even if improperly shut down). restore this status when psi is run again? if you get a msg from someone in a closed group, it should not expand the whole group "diskless" mode Bugs connection timeouts are reported as "connection refused" (qt) slowdown when receiving a chat message? or a problem with QTextEdit debug messages? Miscellaneous properly sort cvlist accounts if one of them gets renamed class Options: cpp'ify (reset, toXml, fromXml) convert some of the preferences into their own classes (or lists), like fonts, colors, sounds, etc 'find' function in historydlg should show the found result in the center of 50 results, rather than the top Check for libqssl without needing a restart? replies should only close a window that it is associated with (use QGuardedPtr?) don't allow send/recv of blank messages (all content is whitespace or empty) allow blank password entry don't prompt for password until actually connected. reprompt if wrong?? proper dialog button order depending on platform when entering a text string into "Server to browse", any whitespace before or after is not trimmed. lots of \ fields like this should have some sort of auto-trim. when opening a new chat window of a contact with pending events, the presence is logged to the chat window \ before the messages are, which have an earlier timestamp (looks weird)
