Add an option to hide contacts temporarily #295

Open trufae opened 7 years ago

Let's say you only want to be seen only by one contact. This can be done by removing the contact from the list, but thats quite anoying because it forces to add the contact again with another friend request. It would be cool if antidote allowed to 'disable' contacts by choice.

Thanks, that's a nice idea, however I see few issues. Will think about this more in future.

To add friend again you have to know her full Tox ID (including nospam). Friend can change nospam at any time, in that case you won't be able to add him again.

Also it may be confusing that you won't receive messages from "disabled" contacts.

I dont know too much about the internals of tox but i assume the client is the one that notifies its availability to the peers. Just blocking that should be enough to disable a contact. No need to add them again, no?

Probably yes, I need to investigate if this can be done on Tox side.
