Stable sort of server/channel/query list

[djasa]

Hi, I'm using Srain 2nd day only. Now I realized I replied to different person than I thought - because #263 hid the other's user name in notification, srain flipped their position in channel list which I peripherally saw and then I somehow managed to ignore their nick at the top of their bubbles in main chat window. Being a spatial navigator, constantly changing order of servers/channels/queries is ... unhelpful to me. If there was a config option to get stable sorting (optimally with groups of channels and queries of each respective server, but it doesn't matter much, main thing is that it changes only when I open or close channel/query/server), that would quite add to usability of srain for me.

In addition, grouping by server could allow removing it from respective lines and thus allow having more entries in viewport. This isn't issue for me with 10 entries but if it was 20, it would start bugging me as some of them would be out of viewport with no sensible reason (to my eyes ofc).

Hi, thanks for reporting.

because #263 hid the other's user name in notification

This bug should cause you to see unexpected HTML code instead of username being hidden, what notification daemon are you using?

If there was a config option to get stable sorting

In fact, sorting by the newest message is a feature of Srain, but I think it is reasonable to add such a config option.

In addition, grouping by server could allow removing it from respective lines and thus allow having more entries in viewport.

There is alreay an option for hiding server's buffer, see #361

Whatever is default in gnome 42(?) in Fedora 37. I can give you better answer when I get back to the computer 🙂

I want to see server buffer and I'd actually like to see server messages there, both to see channel conversations without unnecessary noise and in case I want to see connection status and errors history, to have all of them at the same tab. As per vertical space, i meant move from current view (with server tabs hidden) #channel1 server Msg preview 1 #channel2 server Msg preview 2 #channel3 server Msg preview 3 To: Server1 #channel1 Msg preview 1 #channel2 Msg preview 2 #channel3 Msg preview 3 Allows to save pretty much one line per channel for servers with more than few associated channels or queries. Vertical screen space is more scarce resource than horizonal since advent of 16:9 screens years ago...
