I can right-click in Contacts List window to turn on Show offline buddies via menu. But this menu show itself only if i right-click on any string in list (online buddie or group) and not show itself if i right-click on empty space in Contact List window. Afair it was not always like this. Something changes or my memory is wrong? 16:41:39 <clokep_work> If you click off the strings it should highlight the whole row, etc. So I would think right clicking would work fine. 16:41:46 <iLobster> Sometimes i turn Instantbird on only to see history and do not connect to accounts. It means that whole my contact list is empty space and i can not get menu to switch Show offline buddies and to check history. 16:44:55 <Mook_as> right clicking on a blank space in ib 1.0 seems to work.

Do I append it to the shortcut via properties ? 21:13:18 <clokep_work> (and flo thanks for just rewriting the whole patch for me. :P) 21:13:22 <flo> Jocelyn: yes 21:13:27 <-- Nitrox has quit (Quit: Connection to internet lost) 21:13:34 <flo> clokep_work: I was afraid you would say that :( 21:13:34 <Mook_as> Jocelyn: yes, though in that case it's probably c:\absolute\path\to\folder ;) 21:13:48 <flo> I had the bad feeling of rejecting all the hunk one after one :( 21:14:40 <flo> clokep_work: I added some ellipsis to let you play a bit to finish it ;). And it was pretty hard to code in that bugzilla textbox. No completion :-/. 21:14:42 <clokep_work> flo: It's fine. I had originally had a loop, but then I wanted the transform method, I didn't think of making an object containing the values. 21:15:01 <clokep_work> Oh, there's still plenty to do...I like the Tooltip idea though, instead of having multiple methods. 21:15:02 <Jocelyn> Mook_as: c:\ being on the hd ? Could I direct it to the usb instead ? 21:15:08 <clokep_work> Thanks! :) 21:15:13 <Mook_as> Jocelyn: sure, insert drive letter of your choice :) 21:15:20 <-- clokep_work has quit (Quit: Bye!) 21:15:31 <flo> Mook_as: Z:\ ? :) 21:15:54 <Mook_as> I would recommend against a:\ though, your profile probably wouldn't fit on a 1.2MB 5.25" floppy ;) 21:16:21 <flo> Mook_as: there are newer bigger floppies ;) 21:16:32 <Mook_as> flo: that goes in b:\ ;) 21:16:38 <flo> the common ones were 1.44, but could be formatted to 1.72 21:17:02 <Mook_as> (and those are _smaller_, at least physically :p ) 21:17:09 <flo> sure 21:17:50 <Mook_as> (in case you haven't noticed, I just don't want to be digging into this i/o redirection code) 21:18:08 <flo> bah, having a single power outlet in the whole room is stupid. I have to unplug the laptop to plug the phone's charger (I'm connected using the 3G phone as a wifi access point) 21:18:23 <flo> Mook_as: wrong tab? 21:18:44 <Mook_as> flo: nope, just explaining why I'm being distracted here. 21:19:38 <flo> I don't know/remember what the portable version contains 21:25:12 <Jocelyn> flo: I'm currently using instantbird 1.0 ... how can I do a whois with this version ? 21:25:25 <flo> you can't. 21:25:41 <Jocelyn> :( ok ... 21:26:00 <flo> as aleth told you, it's a very recent (this week!) addition in nightly builds 21:27:09 <Jocelyn> flo: Thanks :) 21:29:27 <-- sabret00the has quit (Connection timed out) 21:30:01 --> sabret00the has joined #instantbird 21:30:55 <flo> np 21:31:27 <Jocelyn> aleth, clopek_work, Mook_as: Thank-you all for answering my questions ... I very much appreciate the helpful input ... bye all. 21:32:46 <lewellyn> does instantbird do /help yet to list the supported commands? 21:35:41 <-- Jocelyn has quit (Client exited) 21:41:00 <lewellyn> also, what's the pedigree of the irc support? 21:43:20 <flo> lewellyn: /help works, yes 21:43:34 <lewellyn> i don't have it open atm so i can't check easily :) 21:44:18 <flo> and what does "what's the pedigree of the irc support?" mean? 21:44:59 <lewellyn> is it all from scratch? is it derived from purple? 21:45:07 * lewellyn suspects the latter 21:45:46 <flo> currently it's the libpurple implementation, with very tiny modifications (the Quit message mentioning Instantbird is the only one I can actually remember) 21:45:57 <flo> clokep is working on a JS implementation 21:46:13 <lewellyn> k. so sasl isn't feasible really, with purple's :/ 21:47:14 <flo> http://clokep.blogspot.com/ 21:47:17 <flo> what is it? 21:48:45 <-- igorko has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.0) 21:49:40 <lewellyn> sasl? it's an authentication mechanism. you might know it better from email protocols. 21:49:43 <flo> or rather, how important is it to support it? 21:50:06 <lewellyn> ircx and charybdis allow use of it to prevent joining channels prior to services authentication 21:50:35 <flo> seems similar to what XMPP uses, by the way 21:50:35 <EionRobb> you just need to bug elb in #pidgin to implement it... its on his TODO list 21:50:37 <lewellyn> for freenode, it's a requirement to connect via a dynamic mobile device ip or tor. 21:50:44 <lewellyn> xmpp does sasl, yes 21:51:37 <lewellyn> it'd be nice to be able to tell people using some random libpidgin app to switch to instantbird ;) 21:51:48 <flo> "a requirement to connect via a dynamic mobile device ip"? 21:51:57 <lewellyn> i.e. tethered via your cell phone 21:52:12 <lewellyn> my phone is unaffected as i have a static ip in a non-dynamic range 21:52:29 <flo> I'm using my phone too currently 21:52:41 <lewellyn> to connect to freenode? 21:52:51 <flo> maybe, not sure 21:53:04 <flo> most of my IM accounts go through an SSL tunnel to hide my real location 21:53:10 <flo> not sure if the freenode account is one of them 21:53:30 <flo> the freenode account goes in the SSH tunnel, yes 21:53:50 <lewellyn> so yeah. you're unaffected :) 21:55:18 <lewellyn> but yeah. a year or so ago, Anonymous (or GNAA or something of the ilk) realized that power cycling many phones gets you a new ip. on some, just turning the radio off and back on will do it. so trolls started using it to ban evade. 21:56:31 <-- sabret00the has quit (Connection timed out) 21:56:39 <flo> lewellyn: https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719 21:56:42 <instantbot> Bug 719 enh, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Handle multiple authentication types in IRC JavaScript 21:57:00 --> sabret00the has joined #instantbird 21:58:17 <lewellyn> i think +Z is reserved for ssl only, but i'm not sure :/ 21:58:30 <lewellyn> you'll want to rely on capab rather than umode anyhow :) 22:02:17 <flo> I don't speak IRC, it's not my native language ;) 22:02:25 <lewellyn> :) 22:02:36 <lewellyn> it's a reasonably simple protocol at least :) 22:03:19 <Mook_as> I was under the impression that user modes (and channel modes) are a mess and could mean different things across servers 22:03:33 <-- GeekShadow has quit (No route to host) 22:04:36 <lewellyn> Mook_as: that's why you don't rely upon them blindly. 22:04:57 <flo> Good night :) 22:05:11 <lewellyn> sleep well 22:05:12 <Mook_as> night :) 22:05:21 <flo> thanks 22:05:24 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.1a1pre) 22:05:27 <aleth> lewellyn: maybe they could be implemented as add-ons 22:05:28 --> GeekShadow has joined #instantbird 22:06:08 <lewellyn> server: ':card.freenode.net 005 smrt CHANTYPES=# EXCEPTS INVEX CHANMODES=eIbq,k,flj,CFLMPQcgimnprstz CHANLIMIT=#:120 PREFIX=(ov)@+ MAXLIST=bqeI:100 MODES=4 NETWORK=freenode KNOCK STATUSMSG=@+ CALLERID=g :are supported by this server' 22:06:12 <lewellyn> server: ':card.freenode.net 005 smrt SAFELIST ELIST=U CASEMAPPING=rfc1459 CHARSET=ascii NICKLEN=16 CHANNELLEN=50 TOPICLEN=390 ETRACE CPRIVMSG CNOTICE DEAF=D MONITOR=100 :are supported by this server' 22:06:26 <lewellyn> note that the server tells you lots of useful stuff when you connect :) 22:06:54 <lewellyn> aleth: it really needs to be handled at the protocol level, as bug 719 states :/ 22:06:57 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719 enh, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Handle multiple authentication types in IRC JavaScript 22:07:04 <lewellyn> you don't see ssl as an addon for other protocols 22:08:08 <aleth> SSL is already built in though 22:08:57 <aleth> just not the kind you are looking for, I guess 22:09:45 <lewellyn> it's the same concept though. and as flo mentioned, xmpp also does sasl. 22:09:58 <lewellyn> so it's a matter of making the protocol speak it properly. 22:10:52 <lewellyn> in theory, SASL PLAIN isn't terribly difficult. i still haven't gotten it working with my irssi, though. so i'm not able to even see how it works yet. :/ 22:11:01 <aleth> Since the net was invented, half of programming seems to be writing translators between protocols... 22:11:11 --> Jocelyn has joined #instantbird 22:11:16 <aleth> I suppose before the net it was file formats :p 22:11:36 <EionRobb> I had a crack at putting sasl into prpl-irc, but I haven't found a clear enough spec/howto 22:11:51 <lewellyn> there's no translation here. it's just a matter of adding a security layer. 22:12:01 <lewellyn> EionRobb: even the various links in the bug didn't help? 22:12:36 <Jocelyn> Hi again all, I forgot to ask ... how can I install an older message style - minimal 2 ? 22:12:48 <lewellyn> EionRobb: i'd suggest joining #ircd-seven on freenode, but that channel is really hit or miss as to whether you get someone useful or someone who's a time-wasting irritant :( 22:12:58 <EionRobb> lewellyn: I haven't looked at the instantbird bug thing about it 22:18:14 <aleth> Jocelyn: It claims it works with 1.0 on the add-on page? 22:18:25 <aleth> Won't it install? 22:19:07 <Jocelyn> Hi aleth: no, it won't install ... it says it's incompatible with 1.0 ... :\ 22:19:34 <aleth> There is a way to fix that 22:19:47 <aleth> The XPI file is actually a ZIP archive 22:19:58 <aleth> In the ZIP archive, there is an install.rdf file 22:20:06 <Jocelyn> I placed the xpi into the Addon Manager ... 22:20:08 <aleth> Edit it and change the maximum allowed version number 22:20:21 <aleth> Then load the modified XPI file with the add-on manager 22:20:48 <Jocelyn> aleth: it downloads as an xpi file only ... 22:20:54 <aleth> Yes, like I said 22:21:16 <aleth> It *is* a ZIP file just with a different extension 22:21:32 <Jocelyn> I cannot edit the xpi ... it opens the file as gibberish ... 22:21:39 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 22:21:39 * ChanServ sets mode +h Mic 22:21:43 <aleth> Have you got WinZIP or something like that? 22:22:08 <aleth> You need to use an archive progam to either unpack the XPI or to be able to directly edit files *within* it 22:22:26 <Mic> Windows itself can open ZIP files .. the only call it "compressed folder" nowadays. 22:22:28 <aleth> I will file a bug about the misleading "works with" numbers 22:22:43 <Mic> Rename the file to .ZIP and you can access the files using the Windows Explorer 22:22:48 <aleth> Mic: if you are on Windows, maybe you can talk her through it 22:22:52 <Jocelyn> aleth: yes, but the file is just 1 xpi file 13kb 22:23:14 <lewellyn> Jocelyn: so rename it to .zip, modify install.rdf, rename it to .xpi, install :) 22:23:17 <Jocelyn> Hi Mic ... Thnks :) 22:23:50 <Jocelyn> Hi lewellyn, Thank-you :) 22:24:47 <Mic> Jocelyn: do you see the files within the archive? 22:25:15 <-- aleth has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.1a1pre) 22:25:18 --> aleth has joined #instantbird 22:26:14 <aleth> That's a rather nice style actually 22:27:38 <lewellyn> should styles work if we bump em for 1.1 and install them? the one i liked stopped working :) 22:28:06 <Mic> You need to open install.rdf and then find the place where the text "maxVersion" (without the quotation marks) appears .. replace the number behind this text with "1.1a1pre" (no quotation marks again) 22:28:43 <lewellyn> Mic: i know how to, i'm wondering if there's a reasonable expectation of success before i bother. 22:29:21 <Mic> I don't think we had breaking changes to message styles for a year now .. 22:29:37 <Mic> So just change it and it should work again. 22:30:04 <aleth> minimal 2 seems to work 22:30:08 <lewellyn> it broke in like december or january, i think. dunno if that's when it became 1.1. i don't watch the version numbers :) 22:30:42 <aleth> Though of course it should eventually get an update for 1.1 to handle context messages 22:33:18 <instantbot> New Instantbird (UI) bug 1025 filed by aletheia2@fastmail.fm. 22:33:20 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1025 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, Add-ons marked as "works with 1.0" won't install because install.rdf not updated 22:34:23 <aleth> Hmm, minimal 2 does need some TLC - it doesn't seem to use the correct colours for participant names. 22:40:46 <aleth> On the other hand, context style (surprisingly) works already 22:41:46 <Mic> The themes are converted Adium themes.

It's dumb. 23:51:31 <clokep> lewellyn: SASL is a PITA from what I remember when I read about it, but I'd like to include it eventually. 23:51:53 <lewellyn> it can't be more of a pita than it is anywhere else though ;) 23:52:21 <clokep> True, but my point is it's not my #1 priority. :P Especially cause it's not super easy. 23:52:49 <clokep> I'm not sure what aleth was suggesting being able to implement in an add-on, but my IRC stuff is fully extensible. 23:52:51 <lewellyn> agreed. first, new irc protocol, then sasl ;) 23:53:20 <lewellyn> does & work yet? ;) 23:53:43 <clokep> I haven't looked into that yet. 23:53:46 <clokep> So probably not. 23:54:12 <lewellyn> :) 23:54:37 <clokep> EionRobb: This is the spec I have for SASL: http://hg.instantbird.org/experiments/file/32df582f069b/irc-js%40patrick.cloke/doc/SASL.txt 23:54:54 <clokep> It's super clear. :rolleyes: 23:55:04 <EionRobb> yeah, I've seen that one before 23:55:26 <EionRobb> elb and I are going to see who can get IRC SASL done first 23:55:38 <clokep> Good luck. :) 23:56:52 <clokep> Message styles were bumped for the 1.0 release, but not again after that... 23:57:09 <clokep> I don't think we've done anything to "break" message styles, but it's possible a newer gecko doesn't like them. 23:57:43 <clokep> I think I'm out of things to say about the log. :) 23:59:09 <lewellyn> well then. :) 23:59:27 <lewellyn> http://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird is this all i have to check out to have everything needed to read the source on a non-build machine?
