[BUG] Floating Contacts by brian on 09-25-2004 at 02:20 AM
BUG:
Floating contacts is a nice new feature, but when one of your contacts is offline, You can double-click on his name, and send him a message when he comes back, pretty nice feature? Here is the small glitch, In the checkmark, it shows
Send a message to "Username" when he/she signs-in
The one problem, it doesn't display whole nickname, and it does not attach ... to show that, it's a non continued name.
Thanks
-Brian

Brian, this isn't a floating contact issue at all though. This is a come-back message issue. Right-click on an offline contact in your contactlist, select Plus Extra's > Set come-back message. That's the thing you're talking about 
quote:yeah, otherwise the text "when he/she signs-in" will drop of if the name is too long.

But personally I would rather see the email address listed there (again with the same length-cropping of course) instead of the friendly name. Usually you reconize the email faster then you would reconize "I LOVE YOU CARl!!!"
(and this goes for other dialogs as well, like the renaming contact dialog, contactinformation, notification-dialog, etc...)
(self-)splitted to "English translation"...
PSS: Why are there quotes around the friendly name here, and not in the rename contact dialog or the notifications dialog? Don't get me wrong though, I rather see the quotes there, because now I sometimes get wierd things like:
Custom contact name for all who wanna party...:
instead of
Custom contact name for: "all who wanna party..."
