Title: Would it be possible to subdivide the accounts information a bit better
Post by: thosrtanner on 30 04 2016, 08:32:51

I have about 4 different accounts (facebook, msn, yahoo, skype, IRC). I use the same name on each one. I'm beginning to think I must be a bit strange to do that, as it makes configuring network settings a nightmare.

Under main menu/options I get

+ Network
|  |-- thosrtanner

and selecting that I get an enormous line of tabs

   Account | Events | Statuses | Messaging | Account | Connection | Server List | Notifications | Account | Connection | Ignore List | Account | DCC and CTCP | Advanced | Ignore | Account

Would it please please be possible to submenu that so I get

+ Network
| |--+ thosrtanner
      | -- MSN
      | -- Facebook
      | -- etc

And if anyone has any workrounds that don't involve me changing my account name all over the place that'd be nice too.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thosrtanner, I think that won't be changed as it would require to rewrite the options API for adding pages and listing them.

But I can see a way by fixing it in code by showing:
+ Network
|-- <account name> [<protocol name>]

so:
+ Network
|-- thosrtanner [MSN]
|-- thosrtanner [Facebook]

EDIT: Hmm, but it still doesn't solve situation, when you have 2 accounts of same protocol with same name...

Oh, OK, thanks. That seems to work fine.
