Ticket #94 (new Enhancement)

sort rooms according to auto join list in connection info

Reported by: Sean Owned by: timothy
Priority: High Milestone:
Component: Colloquy (Mac) Version: 2.1 (Mac)
Severity: Normal Keywords: autoconnect room reordering tab drag drop
Cc: grahamperrin

Description (last modified by rinoa) (diff)

Go to Window > Connections and get info on irc.freenode.net for example. Add 2 or more rooms in the "Automatic" tab and then try to move them up or down. You can not change the order of them, if you want to do that you'll have to delete them and re-add them in the order you want to connect.

What I would like is being able to arrange them in the same way you arrange Safari bookmarks (by dragging them to the order you want).

  • keywords tab drag drop added
  • summary changed from Allow re-ordering of autoconnect rooms to Preferred order of joined rooms is not respected when any room is re-joined
  • version changed from Latest Nightly to Latest 2.1
  • priority changed from normal to high

To this request for enhancement, I vote:

  • +1

More specifically:

  • a preferred order of joined rooms is already easily achievable

— drag and drop the tab for each room to be ordered

— there is more space to do so in the main window to the rooms, than in dialogues such as http://colloquy.info/project/attachment/ticket/94/colloquy-autoconnectwindow.jpg … though I, too, have instinctively tried and failed to drag within that window

however:

  • the preferred order for a room is not recalled when next that room is joined.

— most noticeable when Colloquy is launched

— also noticeable when a connection is interrupted.

these all relate to sorting the sidebar:
a) #94 requests sorting according to auto join list (what about rooms joined through other means though?)
b) #362 requests sorting rooms according to connection
c) #456 suggests using a text file or a list in the app of some sort to define room sorting
d) #552 wants to sort panels according to type (consoles first, then rooms, then private chats)
c) #956 Make tabs (channels/messages) remember their position
