[fabioamd87]

we should add a function that save the current conversation that we have with someoone directly from the window.

initially can be txt file... in the future other more complex format

Hi, I'm new in Emesene. I tried to code this feature only to understand the Emesene source.

Here it is:

How can I avoid to show those special characters? Is there any other way to get the conversation text?

Sorry for ignorance. :-)

[fabioamd87]

wow really fast, but witch is the text format? html or txt?
anyway, tanks!

[Respawner]

Looks to be written in plain text as the text is displayed in the conversation window.

Code:

def save (self):
        conversation = self.parentConversationWindow.conversation
        text = conversation.getConversationText()

        file = open(self.filename, 'w')
        file.write(text)
        file.close()

Thanks for code I'll try it.

Edit: Works for me, thanks again.

[boyska]

+1 for that. checkm, you're gonna be my new hero

[C10uD]

finally someone who doesn't make new bugs, right boyska?

[checkm]

Oh, thanks for appreciation.

[fabioamd87]

will this feature merged?

[C10uD]

i didn't have commit access over _one year ago_ (!) but if this can be ported to current svn, (with removable button from preferences, etc.) i can apply it

[fabioamd87]

okk keep us updated!

[C10uD]

my message was supposed to be read:

fix it, and send me the diff

[checkm]

Hi everybody! I'm back after a year of non-programming activity. What's up with that patch? What I have to change?

Tell me, I would be glad if it will be merged.

[C10uD]

it needs to be tested against latest svn, and add an option for removing that button from the toolbar like other buttons in preference windows...maybe a less invasive stuff like a plugin could be even better

greets

[hit^]
