Need documentation for preferences/settings #255

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I've looked everywhere in Google code as well as Google searched for 
information about the settings that are available in this application to no 
avail. Descriptions of all of the settings would be ideal, but I'm specifically 
looking for details on the following:
-Preferences, Application settings, Advanced settings, Separate Messages for 
every SMS
-Preferences, Notification Settings, Status notifications to origin chat window

I agree that documentation for GTalkSMS is sparse and should be improved. Until 
this happens, I try to describe the settings you mentioned:

**Separate Messages for every SMS**
If you query for messages via the "sms:contact" command, enabling this will 
send *one* XMPP Message per found SMS. Otherwise all SMS will be send in one 
(big) XMPP message, which should prefered.

**Status notifications to origin chat window**
If you are in an SMS chat with an contact, via the "chat:contact" command, 
status notifications about the outgoing SMS (send/delivered) will be send to 
the MUC room. If you disable this, the notification will go to the notification 
address, keeping the MUC free from noisy "SMS send/delivered" messages.

**Incoming SMS**
No notification will simply not inform you about incoming SMS messages.
In separated conversations will invite you to a new MUC chat with the contact 
who send you an SMS message, but you won't receive the SMS message at your 
notification address, only the MUC invite.
In main GTalkSMS thread, will only send incoming SMS to your notification 
address. If you want to open a MUC chat with the contact you have to do so 
explicitly
Both, will send the message to your notification address and invite you to a 
new MUC with that contact.

IMHO you picked the worst documented features. :) If you have suggestions how 
to describe them and/or rename them, please share.
