Re: IRC Client
by Lee on Saturday 26/Jan/2008, @09:10

I'd like to see an IRC plugin for kopete more than konversation. However, current IRC implementations in all IM clients seem to suck. They need to (in order of importance)

* stay logged in to channels without opening windows, as if THEY were the account, and the server connection was just a meta-connection.

* show history from a channel when you open it to chat, just like popping up konversation would, if it had been logged in to a channel.

* auto-identify with nickservs

* be able to ignore specific messages from the server, and bots, so there aren't endless annoying new messages when just logging in.

I don't think there's anything else I'd need actually. With those few things, I could forget that IRC is "special" and use it like any other IM account.
