This adds GtkEntryCompletion support to the Status dialog. (3.15 KB, patch)

Description Martyn Russell 2004-10-24 13:20:21 UTC 
Basically, If I set my state to something and then I want to set the status
message back to an earlier status, it would be good if Gossip could show me a
list   of previously entered status texts or complete the text I am typing.

This adds GtkEntryCompletion support to the Status dialog.

Micke, I know you said on your mail that holding the last 5 entries would be
good, but with this patch I use a GtkListStore and have an array of 4 (for each
GossipShow type) - Hope this is OK?

There are also strcmp() checks to make sure duplicates do not occur in the
store (might want to have this as g_strncasecmp())
Comment 2 Mikael Hallendal 2004-10-24 14:30:28 UTC 
I think we also want to store this on disk somehow so that they will remain
after an application restart.
Comment 3 Martyn Russell 2004-10-24 14:52:22 UTC 
Thats really what presets are for isn't it?
Comment 4 Mikael Hallendal 2004-10-24 15:40:53 UTC 
No, we want to save the last couple of statuses set to have completion on. I at
least would think that to be persistent. Think of the url entry of the browser...

Comment 6 Martyn Russell 2005-08-16 14:27:55 UTC 
I have done this 2 ways.  At first I added a combo box so the user could see the
last n entries.  But then I realised you would also want to complete so I have
added both.

See what you think.  Marking this as fixed.
