Auto-away in X

I have recently switched to centericq from Psi and have been quite
pleased.  I have had no real trouble so far and the interface is just
what I was looking for.  However, I cannot figure out the auto-away
feature, or at least how it might be used in my situation.  I am using
X and the client seems to disregard all activity at the computer other
than that directly in its own window.  So, if I want to use auto-away
I have to open the centericq window periodically and reset the
status.  Since I do sometimes leave or something I do like auto-away,
but I end up 'not available' or away more often than I would like,
even when I am working at my computer.  Any ideas on how to work
around this?

Many thanks,

Patrick

Re: Auto-away in X

There is no workaround, just don't use auto-away. I wanted to build a short
plugin to do this ... but ... lack of time :(. So I end up being always
online, or
always away :D.

Iulian

Ah, too bad.  Well, I suppose I can live without auto-away, but it is
a nice feature to have.  I could set the time on it very high I guess,
but I will proabably just turn it off as you do.  Many thanks for the
information.

The xscreensaver-command supports a watch option and lists as example
for it a script which turns down the audio volume on inactivity and up
again when the user returns on its man page.
Now you could use xscreensaver along with a monitoring script which
changes your status in cicq according to your needs.

andi

Hello Andi,

Many thanks for this information.  It appears to do just the thing.
Very, very cool idea.

Re: UTF-8

Centericq does not yet support UTF8

-- 
This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian
philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they
do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go
to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing,
right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking
sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr
Clever Dick in these parts..."

Re: UTF-8


	There is a nice lib:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/utf8cpp.asp

	"A simple, portable and lightweight generic library for handling
UTF-8 encoded strings"

	Whould anyone have time to patch centericq? :)

Re: Jabber transport.

Appologies for replying to such an old thread. I just testing a jabber
transport (JIT in this case) myself and how centericq handles transports
is in fact... well, let's say there's room for improvement. :)

 - First, you cannot register for a transport via cicq. I had to use psi
   just like the OP.
 - The transport is not recognized as being one, i guess cicq has no
   idea of transports anyhow. It's handled like a regular contact. The
   default place is the first group. If you move this "transport"-contact
   to another group it will reappear in the default place as the working
   transport once you reconnect. The moved contact is still in the group
   you moved it too. Just not working.
   This is missleading and simply optically not nice.

Apart from that, it's working just as intended. I have all my icq
contacts via jabber now.
So, wish: Agent/Transport handling for jabber including the feature
browse and register to services from the server.

TIA & HAND

Micha

whitepages and libicq2000

Hi,

I have problems doing a "white pages" (ICQ) lookup with cicq. A simple UIN
lookup works fine, but when searching for people by some criteria,
like age/country etc., it always shows zero after a long wait.

This happens under FreeBSD and also under Ubuntu-Linux.

It seems, libicq2000 is the culprit, because another client ("licq")
shows the same behaviour.

As libicq2000 is quite old, there may be a patch necessary. This used
to work in the past.

Any ideas or hints? Google wasn't very helpful about that. 

Thanks!

Ok, so it seems the transport will always reappear *and* stay in whatever
group. Even when you don't move it you have it twice in your contact
list.
