#39 Chat in DC

[Anonymous]

It's always me,theinvoker...
Have you thought about my request about showing all
users in DC chats?
It is very important when you have to find someone
anche it's even more important for OPs
I own a hub and i want to see how many users are in and
i also want to know who is in my hub,and sometimes i
check filelists,but if i can't see all the users i can
do nothing.
Bye

Please pay your attention to the patch #1536485.
Test it all over and comment it up there. ;-)

What is the global user list used for?
Is it important that it's next to the chat area?
What about a user list without chat?

What are common use cases?
What are possible use cases?

I've decided not to show all users in the chat page for several reasons:
1) sorting gets slow in gtk2
2) in the caht page this list would always be up to date,
which means that there are continuous inserts/removes
(which is not nice, for example when scrolling through list)
3) most users are not interested in all users.

Instead i will provide a "global user list" function which
opens a new dialog. The advatages:
1) the very few ppl who want to browse all users from
time to time can do so without much effort.
2) the dialog can provide more information about the listed
users. Maybe extra space where any know information of
the selected user is displayed.
3) the dialog would show a snapshot of the current user list.
And there would be a refresh button.
