[Feature Request]: Allow multiple connections

[treaki]

Hi,

I like to be online on multiple mumble servers at the same time, which can of cause be done by the mumble -m option, but it is very annoying to handle if you run more then 2 mumbles at the same time. For that it would be very nice to have a multi connection feature (like in teamspeak 3) where you can choose in the "Mumble Server Connect" window a button called "open in new tab" which dose it than like, you know in this other VOIP software that is also much used by gamers. All together of cause with selecting the active speaking tab with another button.

This feature would make my whole mumble live a lot easier.

Thanks for reading, i am awaiting your comments about this suggestion and would be very happy if it would get implemented.

Thanks and regards,

treaki

If u added this to mumble I think lots of people would switch over from teamspeak 3

I believe that in order to implement this kind of functionality we'd have to get rid of the Global class or at least move a lot of stuff from that class to connection-specific containers.

Any more apparent changes that have to be consider if we were to implement something like this?

For reference, libmumble supports as many concurrent connections as the operating system allows and they can also be handled through the integrated thread pool.

The hard work would be redesigning the UI to support multiple servers. First idea that comes to mind would be to wrap all server-specific content (e.g. user list, chat, etc.) in a QTabWidget .
