Description

In the Join Group Chat dialog, when we select a different account, the client auto-magically switches the Host field to the conference server that the new selected account has associated with.

This behavior is most welcome except if I already changed the Host field.

The use case goes like this:

  • the user want to join  jdev@conference.jabber.org so it types that name in the Room field;
  • then he decides that he doesn't want to use the selected account, and switches to a different one;
  • the Host field is rewritten by the new host.

To solve this, I think the client should only rewrite the Host field if the value there is a default value. So if I have a SAPO account selected, the host is conference.im.sapo.pt, and when I switch to a Simplicidade account, the Host should change to chat.simplicidade.org.

But if the host is different than conference.im.sapo.pt, the value of the default conference server at SAPO, then the Host field should not be touched.

Agree, also the drop down should have history of what we wrote there.

I've been thinking a bit more about this, and we should be even more careful.

When we change the account in the drop down, we can change the host field to the default host name for that account if and only if the host field is empty.

See also #131.
