KTp and Plasma Active

[Alin M Elena]

Hi Arthur,

one thing you may want to add to the presence editing is the possibility to delete an old 
custom presence..Without soon you end up like me... with a long list of custom presences... 

regards,
Alin

I talked to Thomas today. Here comes summary as requested:

- Thomas suggested different method of setting you status message. To do it now you have to 
enter status selection mode and click on the button next to it. I disliked it but couldnt think 
of anything else. Thomas idea was to spilt the button clickable area into to part: icon and 
text. When you click on text you enter message editing mode. When you click on icon you 
enter status selection mode. It will be easier to use and will save you one step when 
changing status message.- Active conversations sidebar will be overlay drawer as primarliy 
intended. It looks like the feature I was seeking was just not implemented yet. It should be a
vailable now.
- The contacts list will end up in the split drawer as well. When drawers were created there 
was an assumption the applications will have only one drawer (if any), and it will be positio
ned on the right. In KTp Active it feels ok to have two drawers at the same time. The reason 
behind this is to give user a possibility to hide whole contact list to save space on smaller d
evices. However we will have to wait for this. This feature takes some work to implement an
d was not scheduled by PlasmaActive team. 

- Thomas was not so sure about the menu sidebar idea. I kind of insisted it stayed as it is. 
Its meant to give you options not only related to contact list, such as link to application 
settings dialog. You can toggle its visibility and since it isnt using much space I imagine 
some people who want to have it visible all the time.
- The lightbulb idea was appreciated.

Can I remind everyone that all discussions should be summarised on themailing list (or in 
bug reports) afterwards.
