           Summary: use commonly shared location for Adium styles
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mcepl at redhat.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

As far as I know there are three IM open source clients supporting Adium theme
styles: kopete, empathy, and pidgin with pidgin-webkit plugin (I think there
are some less known ones, but I don't know about them exactly). It would be
awfully nice if all of them used one location for these styles, so that exactly
same styles don't have to be on the disk multiple times.

Currently it seems that these clients look for styles at

kopete ... $PREFIX/kde4/apps/kopete/styles
empathy ... $PREFIX/share/adium/message-styles
pidgin-webkit ... $PREFIX/share/purple/message_styles

(and its $HOME and /usr/local equivalents, at least kopete and empathy should
be able to look in all three locations).

It seems to me that from these the Empathy location looks like the most
sensible and the least program-specific one, so I would suggest it to be
central location for Adium compatible styles.

Would it be possible that your program would also look for (in addition to your
current location) for Adium compatible styles in (in this order)
/usr/local/share/adium/message-styles, /usr/share/adium/message-styles and
$HOME/.local/share//adium/message-styles ?

Thank you
