#36 The UI should remember that one wants to encrypt messages

[Xavier Lagraula]

Hello.

The issue is very simple: on Gaim 1.5.0 (Windows, not
tested on Linux yet) with gaim-encryption 2.38, I need
to reenable encryption ("Tx: ..." button) each and
every time I open a window to start a discussion.

This is very cumbersome and error prone. The plugin
should remerber the latest setting for each contact.
Ideally, the preferences shall allow for a default,
permanent choice.

Thinking about it, the tests we made here and which
raised this issue also proved that the option to
encrypt automatically if the peer also uses the plug-in
does not work. I'll fill a bug report later, if we can
confirm this.

Regards,
Xavier Lagraula

You mean like the "Turn Auto-encrypt on" option in the buddy
list, that allows you to specify that encryption should be
on by default for that buddy?

The "Encrypt automatically if peer uses the plugin" option
only works on some protocols (notably AIM). For some
others, there is no straightforward way to alert the client
on the other side that you have Gaim-Encryption loaded.
