Please add a way to prefix channel names with the server name? #200

Open seitzbg opened 6 years ago

Can you add a way to prefix channel names with the server name such as sm00th does?

  - server_prefix_len (type: int; default: 3)
    Prefix channel names with this many characters of server name. If set to 0
    nothing will be prefixed. If set to anything lower than 0 - full server
    name will be prefixed. Assuming we have a channel "general" on "beecord"
    server here is what channel name you are going to get with different
    settings:
      -1 - #beecord.general
       0 - #general
       3 - #bee.general

Right now I am on multiple servers and get many #general channels. If there is currently a way to fix this i'd love to hear it!

I second this suggestion. Especially when pidgin fails to automatically folder channels on the buddy list.

+1 from me! It's getting crowded already!

Also channel groupings are mishandled (#142)

+1 I am considering using this with bitlbee over the sm00th if it works better. But without channel prefixes, that seems problematic.

Zauberfisch commented 5 years ago

I've started hacking it quick and dirty for myself now to have prefixes

Essentially it's just this: https://github.com/Zauberfisch/purple-discord/commit/7776861fd68ef3825be9104ddf542ade0dc584af

@EionRobb I'm not familiar enough with this project (nor am I skilled at C) to implement this change on my own. But I'd be willing to help.
