HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVAN!!
One thought has been to make the new feature that Adam described, the ability to have accounts not connect at launch, be implemented with a key combination which is harder to hit by accident. So far, I’ve come up with this combination:
option+shift+cmd+ctrl+space+escape+4+2+f12+return
Thanks for the feedback on the auto-connect change 🙂
Starting with tomorrow’s binary auto-connect will work like it used to (But we’ll keep the file menu like it is now). In addition, holding down shift while launching will prevent your accounts from auto-connecting.
The connect / autoconnect system will work a bit differently tomorrow (3/19):
– The submenus are gone from the accounts in the File menu. Just choose “Connect (your account name)” or “Disconnect(your account name)”.
– There’s a new checkbox in the Accounts preference pane, “Restore previously connected accounts on launch.” This is disabled by default. If you enable it, any accounts which were signed on when you quit Adium will be connected automatically when you next launch Adium.
– If you disable this checkbox, you will have to manually connect accounts when you launch Adium.
Try using the new system and see how you like it. There’s a thread in the forums to post opinions and suggestions, but please use this for a day or so before deciding.
If you’re confused about a ‘lack’ of sort options, look in the View menu. 🙂
The build script had trouble updating from CVS last night. If you grabbed todays binary before 12:00 EST, download it again. 🙂
My ghetto blaster is better than yours.. damn right, it’s better than yours. I can teach you, but I have to charge.
Today must be a college admissions day, because I was just accepted to University of Rochester! Woot! 🙂
