            Bug ID: 337616
           Summary: File transfer better representet in chat window
           Product: telepathy
           Version: 0.8.1
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: filetransfer
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: vaksdal at gmail.com

When receiving or sending a file there is no information about the transfer in
the chat window, only in the notification area of KDE. Personally I find this
impractical and a little confusing for the following reasons:

Confusing when sending a file because it's not apparent that the transfer has
been initiated unless the user remembers to open the notifications. The
completion of a file transfer is a little more easier to spot as that is a pop
up notification. Incoming files are easily missed if you didn't pay attention
to notifications at the moment it was sent.

Impractical because you have to relate to two areas of the screen at the same
time. Also there is no link in the chat window to the received (or sent, for
that matter) file, so it's an added impracticality to have to open Dolphin,
browse to the Downloads folder, chech the notifications to see what the
filename is, and then open the file.

An option to auto-accept files (perhaps with some filter(s), say only smaller
than X megabytes) would also be most welcome.

Thank you for an otherwise nice piece of software!
