           Summary: Make Telepathy-KDE activity aware
           Product: telepathy
           Version: git-latest
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-telepathy at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail at eliasprobst.eu


Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Currently, Telepathy-KDE doesn't work well at all when using KDE's activities
and looking at the things happening from a usability point-of-view.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up multiple activities in KDE (e.g. work, personal, ...)
2. use Telepathy KDE with multiple accounts which are activity related (e.g.
personal, work, ...)

Actual Results:  
- Opening new chat windows often switches the current activity to a completely
different one
- I see personal contacts in my work related activity and the other way round
- When switching to my work activity, my personal contacts still see me as
"Available" unless I manually switch my personal account to "Not Available"
...

Expected Results:  
This bug probably needs to be split up into several sub-bugs while using this
one as meta-bug to keep track of the implementation. For now I left all this in
one bug until the basic discussion about the features is settled.

## Accounts KCM
- Make it possible to assign 1 or more activities to an account in the accounts
KCM
- Add configuration option to each account to which status this account should
switch when not using an assigned activity

## Presence Applet
- Only set the presence for the current activity's accounts
- Only show the current activity's accounts

## Telepathy kded module
- Switch the presence of accounts based on the current activity + assigned
accounts and the configured status for currently unused activities (see
'Accounts KCM')

## Contact list
- only show the current activity's accounts

## Text UI
- group chats by activity's accounts and don't mix the grouping throughout
different activities, e.g. when opening a new chat window for a contact, but
there's already a chat window for another contact on another activity, don't
switch to this one, as it isn't in the same activity. Open a new window in the
current activity instead.

## Filetransfer handler
- maintain one standard download folder per activity
