           Summary: Reconnect using old tabs impossible after n reconnect
                    attempts.
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: tightcode hotmail com


Version:           0.16 #2075 (using KDE 3.3.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-gentoo-r6

I mentioned this in the channel the other day and forgot about it till someone else mentioned it yesterday. No one has filed a bug report yet so here it is.
The timeout for automatic reconnect is adjustable but the number of attempts is not. After n reconnect attempts, Konversation gives up. Once Konversation has given up there is no way to make it reconnect using the old tabs. One must reconnect manually which opens a new server tab and a new set of channel tabs (if there are autojoin channels).
Possible solutions would be adjusting the reconnection attempts or on manual reconnect reuse tabs if they are available. There are quite probably better ways but I thought I would mention what came to the top of my mind.

Cheers and thanks for Konvi, its terrific.
