Ungrouping Tabbed Chats by KeVirus on 06-26-2006 at 01:43 AM
well this is no real bug
but it's not possible anymore to ungroup single chatwindows from the tabbed chats
I used to ungroup single important chats from the group
for example also when viewing a webcam
it's nice if you;re able to run the window at the side when you want to write to someone else
however now it's only possible to group all or none
bit of a shame, or is there still a way?
thx

I really need that function, too.

I'm thinking that'll be one of the features that Patchou didn't have time for in the initial release of MP!L... wait till he makes some more builds for it and I'm almost positive he'll add the feature back in.

I hope so.

There is currently no way to work around this in any way. Grouping is either always on or always off.
PS: I also would like this to be returned.

oh that sounds bad
but thx for the replies
and good to see other want that feature again too
I hope there will be a way to be able to add it again

OK there *is* a workaround 
... but it's not perfect as it can take effort when you start a new convo.
Essentially you want to open all your chats as tabs and then switch off tabbing; convos already open will stay in their tabs. Now close any you want to split off and reopen them; they will open in their own windows.
Obviously, all new chats from this point will also have their own windows... if you want to group them I guess you'd have to repeat the process, which could mean much closing of that special chat, which could be annoying if you're webcamming...

what exactly is the technical reason?

I know In Plus Live the option to group tabbed chats comes up in the installation process. If by accident I select do not group chats during installation, is there a way to select it afterwards?

Yeah, go into Plus! Preferences, Tabbed chats and unick group my conversation windows etc...
