neko259 commented 10 years ago

Will this be pushed sometime?

nurupo commented 10 years ago

@neko259 read my previous comment

neko259 commented 10 years ago

@nurupo It doesn't say the time of pushing and reason why it wasn't pushed till now. Please clarify this.

nurupo commented 10 years ago

@neko259 I can't say you the exact time it will be pushed, as I previously said, I will go over the PR eventually (there are few things that need to be fixed in it) and the reason is that I'm pretty busy with other stuff.

It is important to understand that most people contribute to open-source in their free time, out of joy. The time we choose to work on open source is time we could otherwise spend hanging out with friends and family, or programming for money, or reading books, or watching television, or just sleeping. We steal time from the rest of our lives because we love to code and we want to make the world a little bit better by creating great software. (source)

Sometimes it happens that our work takes over and we don't have much time to work on projects. So please don't be rude.

neko259 commented 10 years ago

@nurupo I understand. Just wanted to know the reason, and you gave it to me.

nurupo commented 10 years ago

@neko259 here you go : )

neko259 commented 10 years ago

@nurupo Strange thing. Contacts and ID seem to be saved now, but they are saved to some separate config. I mean if I use toxic or venom they share one config file, and qt gui uses its own. Can't they use one config?

nurupo commented 10 years ago

They could, but then we would have user profile support (multiple config files) and all config files would be encrypted, so you won't be able to use those with toxic or venom, you would either to export them as encrypted configs or wait until other clients implement that.

neko259 commented 10 years ago

You mean profiles are supported now and qt gui uses other profile than venom and toxic?

nurupo commented 10 years ago

Nope, it's not supported now, I'm saying that this was the plan from the beginning so I'd like to keep them separate.

neko259 commented 10 years ago

@nurupo Oh, now I understand. Thanks.
