Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-01-10 13:21:52 UTC
xchat does a "whois" on the user when you click on it from the user list. Some user find that handy and would like to have an entry to do that on the context menu of the users list
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-01-10 19:36:42 UTC
I think we envisaged to this like in gaim and other IM : a tooltip on the nick in the treeview.
So we have to wait than it's implemented in libsexy.

IMHO It's a better place for this informations than in a context menu like in xchat-gtk.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-03-05 00:38:31 UTC
Fixed in SVN.

* src/fe-gnome/userlist-gui.c:
* src/fe-gnome/navigation-tree.c:
* data/xchat-gnome.glade:
  - Use SexyTreeView for the userlist and so display a very cute
    tooltip containing user's informations.
Comment 3 Marius Gedminas 2006-03-06 13:19:13 UTC
I see no tooltips with user information in xchat-gnome 0.10.  I assume the userlist is what I get when I press Ctrl+U, right?

Also, the most common use case for whois info on a popup menu is to look up the person who said something to you or was mentioned in a conversation.  In this case it is inconvenient to visually look for the same nick in a different list, when I have it right there in front of my eyes in the conversation window.

Please reopen the bug.
Comment 4 Olivier Le Thanh Duong 2006-03-06 19:57:03 UTC
Only fixed in the SVN version at the moment, it's not in any stable version yet. So you have to wait until 0.11 or use the SVN version (also you should have latest libsexy from SVN).

It's also planned to have the popup displayed in the conversation window, there is no code for it yet but it's in the todo list.
Comment 5 Marius Gedminas 2006-03-06 20:35:28 UTC
Oh, I see.  Bugzilla shows

  Version:   	0.8
  Status: 	RESOLVED

for this bug, and so I thougth it was implemented in 0.8.

Sorry about the noise.
Comment 6 Mathieu Pillard 2006-03-18 04:34:41 UTC
Could it be possible to implement this in main chat box, too ? Only having in the userlist is a bit restrictive IMHO. The nicks on the main chat box are already set to open a query when left clicked / open a context menu when right clicked, having the tooltip here would be nice for those who only use that and not the userlist. 
Comment 7 David Trowbridge 2006-03-18 04:35:33 UTC
That's the plan, but it's not as easy.  I think Guillaume is working on this.
Comment 8 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-03-18 11:21:44 UTC
Yep, it's in progress. :)
It's not trivial because it requires some changes in the xtext widget.
But i hope to finish it soon.
Comment 9 Guillaume Desmottes 2006-05-24 19:41:15 UTC
At last, I finished this killer feature. :)
It's in HEAD and will be include in the next release.
