Description (Last modified by boredzo)

One thing I would like to see added to Adium is a couple of new events. There currently are the "You connect" and "You disconnect" events, but I would also like to see some events for when the status is changed.

The events that I am suggesting are as follows:

  • "You became idle"
  • "You went away"
  • "You are no longer seen"
  • "You are seen"
  • "You return from away"
  • "You return from idle"

If the current events "You connected" and "You disconnected" do not correspond directly to the offline status, then the additional events are also requested.

  • "You went offline"
  • "You went online"

Rationale:

I use the duck icon on the system menu bar to change my status for Adium, but I would also like to use it to change my status for Skype (i.e. follow the status for Adium). So if the requested events were available, then I could attach some applescript code to also change the status in Skype or any other applescriptable IM client. I think this would be a really nice thing to have and I hope that it is something pretty trivial to add so we can see it in the next release.

Thanks.

Replying to tick:

I would like to second this -- having events for go away/return would be very helpful -- I have some applescripts that I would like to tie into these events.
