deviantART

DeviantART is the home for where art meets aplication. Adding DeviantART will not only let the user check there inbox, post areas, when one of your submissions has been favourited etc, but it will be great advertiseing space as this would give a huge kick start, and possibly millions of more people using the program.

Pounce messages

Imagine this. A buddy of yours is almost never online and the message you want to get to them doesn't warrant a phone call or a text message...so you think that you'll just IM them instead. Yet they aren't online. Ever. A pounce message will send them a message as soon as they sign on next. Very helpful.

Windows Media Player integration for listening to music statue

for those of us that use windows media player and the playlists that come with it. I'm not and will never be an iTunes user and i have had winamp and it is nice for the sole reason of flac support but I have not found a way to get the music list to work as well as the one in WMP.

Option to change size of notification pop-ups

Add the option to change the size of the notification pop-ups to a smaller box with smaller font so that they take up less screen space.

Psychic Mode

Add an option for psychic mode similar to what Pidgin and Adium have. Where when someone starts typing to you a chat window pops up even before they actually send a message.

/away and /status support in IMs

In some other clients, /away and /status are used to change away and status messages. For example, if I am talking to somebody and need to quickly go away, I just type "/away eating brb" into a conversation window and send it, my away message goes up with "eating brb". If I want to change my status, "/status bored" would change my status to "bored".

Separate profiles

Please ad a option to have separate profiles for each account...

In other clients like Adium and Pidgin to be able to set profiles and status different on each and every account is something that is "essential" for most people running multiple accounts.

There are many people running two or more IM-accounts that is not to be unified...

Notification when buddy goes Mobile in the IM window

Sometimes, a buddy will send me a message and by the time I respond, they will have already signed off on their computer and gone mobile. Then, when I send a message, it gets sent to their mobile device. It's usually something like "haha" or "ok" and it's a waste of a text message.

View hyperlink's URL on hover

It'd be nice to view the URL of the link someone is sending you before you click on it. Either pop up a tooltip with the URL on cursor hover, or on mouse right-click.

Individual buddy notifications

Ability to right-click on a contact and select "Alert Me When..." and instead of bringing up the notification settings that apply to EVERY user, it would bring up notification settings that apply to that ONE user.

The settings that apply to every user should still be accessible from Tools > Preferences > Notifications.

Language Support - Localisation

3-4 Month ago many User in Forum have spoken about Language Support of Digsby and want help with the Localisation into several Languages.

Full log search

The search log feature is pretty useless if you can only search on the day you are looking on. A full log search either of all logs or all logs of the contact that has been currently selected in the log viewer would put a lot of us former trillian and even aim 6 users at home with digsby.

Auto Away when computer locked

With the AIM program there is a plug-in that would automatically set my status to away when the computer was locked. It would be nice to get that over here on Digsby.

Set Digsby As A Default Email Account

It would be good if you could set digsby as a default email client. That way any email link found on the internet (mailto:info@etc) would automatically fall into digsby. At current you can't set it as a default email client.

Custom Email Notification Sounds For Different Accounts

Digsby already has an email notification sound but how about adding the option to customize this sound for different accounts? For example: I have 2 different POP3 accounts. Account "A" is my business account. Account "B" is my personal account. I want sound "A" to play when account "A" receives a message. I want sound "B" to play when account "B" receives a message.

Single Icon For All Pop3 Accounts

Instead of multiple icons that clutter up the system tray, how about one single yet intuitive icon that is shared for all pop3 accounts. A "mouse-over" pop up could tell you the status of each of your accounts.

OTR Support

Please add support for OTR or some compatible encryption mechanism. This will be especially helpful for those of us using wireless networks.

from: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/

Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging by providing:

Encryption
No one else can read your instant messages.

Store chat history online

It would be amazing if you could have all of your chat history(and other history such as emails, file transfers, tweets, etc) all saved online so that when you go and use another computer, or you reformat your computer, or in some other way lose access to your locally stored logs, you can still access them. Similar to how the Meebo client(www.meebo.com) does it.

Remember the Milk integration

Managing tasks is generally not a fun way to spend your time. We created Remember The Milk so that you no longer have to write your to-do lists on sticky notes, whiteboards, random scraps of paper, or the back of your hand. Remember The Milk makes managing tasks an enjoyable experience.

Flickr Integration

Flickr integration would include notifications on comment, friend addition, friend posting, and various other alerts. Many photographers use Flickr as their main means of social networking, so it'd be great if it were implemented in Digsby at some point in the future.

Star Gmail Messages from Hover Over Menu

It would be nice and convenient if we could star gmail messages from the hover over menu already present in digsby's interface.

Similar to how we can mark a message as read- starring one from the interface would add additional functionality quickly.

Thanks!

Smart Status Updating

The away message system that Pidgin uses is really awesome because it saves the last 3 or so away messages that you used. If you find yourself using the same ones over and over but only for a short period of time, this feature will save them for as long as you need them. Plus, it is a pain to go in and manually create the permanent ones.
