chat_text_maybe_append_date_and_time: compute the right delta between timestamps (1.13 KB, patch)
2011-08-01 11:12 UTC, Guillaume Desmottes 		committed Details | Review

Description Paul van Tilburg 2011-07-20 11:42:15 UTC 
Since Empathy 3.1.1 (this is a bit of a guess/estimation) timestamps are no longer printed/inserted every 5 minutes when using the Classic chat theme.
To even rougly find out when someone is said something one has to use the Previous Converstations dialog.
More importantly, if one opens a chat window, it is hard to detect after a while which text was part of a previous conversation and which of a current one.

I would have expected that there was a bug report for this already, since I know quite a few people who were complaining about this!

The first argument of g_date_time_difference() should be the older timestamp.
