Open channel pop-ups in the background? #131

Open Chromace opened 7 years ago

Chromace commented 7 years ago

Currently, when a mention (or message in a channel with less than the "Number of users in a large channel") is created, the channel it's contained in will immediately pop up. This can be inconvenient at times, obscuring one's workflow if they are running Pidgin minimised for example, as it opens itself up.

It would be nice if the plugin had the ability to open such windows in the background instead, so as to not be as disruptive. Perhaps like how Purple Facebook works, opening a chat in a new tab, without making Pidgin's chat window show itself in the process, remaining minimised in its system tray.

Is it possible to only pop up on explicit mentions and not on every message?

I could do it with the large channel threshold but it would be nice to allow per-channel override.
