Set message as read when replied to

Open arrufat opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

First of all, thank you for this extension.

I think it would be perfect if you could set the received message as read after we have replied to it, otherwise pidgin keeps the notification on the systray and on the main window. I don't even know if this is feasible, but it would be a nice thing to have.

Thanks again.

This issue is number one in issues list in readme :) Pidgin does not have any dbus method to mark conversation as read.

Oops, I completely missed that. Sorry for the noise, then

No problem.

I'll take a look on pidgin sources once more.

Function purple_conversation_set_data isn't accessible via D-Bus five years already. https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12507

Pidgin itself uses this function to mark conversation as read. We need the plugin for pidgin for calling purple_conversation_set_data via D-Bus command.
