Description Alejandro Valenzuela 2009-06-15 13:47:56 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Attempting to call addresses directly ( for example, 192.168.1.x , some.address.com ) is impossible because the new autocomplete feature automatically appends one of the SIP providers' addresses (for example, 192.168.1.x turns into 192.168.1.x@ekiga.net).

There is no way around the autocomplete system.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open ekiga once it's configured
2. Type the address ( for example, 192.168.1.22 )
3. Attempt to call by clicking the green phone or pressing ENTER


Actual results:
Ekiga informs me 192.168.1.22@ekiga.net could not be found

Expected results:
Ekiga should call 192.168.1.22, a machine in my local network running ekiga too.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Perhaps a "call directly" option in the address bar popup menu or a "turn off autocomplete" preference would be feasible?

Which version is it exactly?

I can't reproduce it here (well... in fact I don't seem to have any autocomplete, so perhaps I have another problem)
Comment 2 Alejandro Valenzuela 2009-06-15 20:29:10 UTC
Version 3.2.1 , in Debian-testing.
Comment 3 Eugen Dedu 2009-06-17 17:46:50 UTC
Comment #1: indeed, the autocompletion disappeared recently (at least on master).  I create another bug report for that.
Comment 4 Eugen Dedu 2009-06-17 21:11:05 UTC
I remember: the autocompletion has been added because one person on the mailing list (no bug report I think) complained that for non-CS people adding @ekiga.net was difficult, and they want to type just the user name and ekiga complete automatically the remaining of the address (@ekiga.net).

So what is the solution...?
Comment 5 Alejandro Valenzuela 2009-06-17 23:02:13 UTC
I think a "turn off autocomplete" checkbox in the general preferences would be an adequate compromise. 
Comment 6 Damien Sandras 2009-06-18 07:09:13 UTC
I think detecting it is an IP address is the right choice.

Eugen, you tell that the autocompletion disappeared on master : is there any reason for that? Did Julien break it?
Comment 7 Snark 2009-06-18 13:25:04 UTC
I modified the code : now it gives propositions, but doesn't autocomplete forcefully.
