Summary 0002013: Ordering of IRC tabs
Revision 2014-11-27 18:39 by Zalewa
Description I'd like to discuss how what to do with current, unfortunate ordering of tabs in IRC box.

Currently, it's difficult to associate given chat box with given network. All new chat boxes are appended to the right of the tab bar, regarding which network they originated from. If you're chatting on more than one network, you can get confused very quickly.

I've tried limiting movement of tabs within the bar so that you can't move chat boxes past the current network, and when you move the network you move the entire group. That's proven to be quite difficult to do in Qt.

I've considered disabling movement of tabs altogether. That way the program would control the order of the tabs. That could possibly cause some problems with visibility when there are many open tabs.

Another approach is the way XChat does this: networks and chat boxes are presented as a tree akin to the user list.

Does anyone have any idea what would be the best approach here?
