buddy listed more than once creates duplicate notifications #4

Closed gitman0 closed 11 years ago

gitman0 commented 11 years ago

I am using purple-libnotify+-1.99.2 patched to work with purple-events-0.3.git, libnotify-0.5.1 and glib2-2.28.6 on fedora 14 with pidgin 2.10.0. Everything appears to be working properly, and I can provide source rpms if anyone is interested. However, one problem I've noticed is that if a buddy is listed more than once on my buddy list, lets say 3 times, I will get 3 duplicate notifications every time that buddy signs on or off, or goes away/idle and comes back. Is this a known issue, and are there any plans to address it? It really should only display a single notification per unique buddy. Removing the duplicate entries on my buddy list won't work because the buddy list is set by the server; if I remove the entries, they will come right back.

Thanks!

It is based on contacts, which are “merged buddies”. I will not fix it in purple-events (and it is not fixable imo), you should just merge the different buddies in the same contact.

Just to be clear, they are not different buddies - they are the same buddy listed multiple times on the buddy list in different groups.

I think it is a limitation of the libpurple buddy list. I will try to get more information on that.
