Add channel persistence
Last modified: 2009-11-13 17:30:59 UTC
Add channel persistence option, like in Pidgin. This mean that when you close a channel, you don't really leave him, only close the window... The messages notifications still work and when you re-open the channel, you can see all last messages.
This is something I want too. I'm connecting to IRC via an IRC proxy and it's a bit of hassle when I accidentally close down the room window and parts the channel instead of just hiding the window.
