GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 425933
Online/Available information are lost when contact added to personal address book
Last modified: 2008-09-08 11:18:57 UTC
When I search for my contact in the ekiga.net whitepages for example, and add them to the local addressbook (through ekiga), it works, but then there is no more online-status information for those contacts... It means, later, when I have to search for a contact, I search in my personal addressbook, I see the sip address, but not the status. So if I wan't to know their status, I have to search for each contact again in the whitepages ! Pretty complicated ! Online status should also be displayed for local addressbook, and perhaps also a filter to only see connected contacts ?
That's called "presence" support and will be implemented (code already exists).
This is fixed in SVN, isn't it? It can be closed then.
Yes.
