Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: 2.0.0 beta 5 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 2 Private: No Submitted By: MarioV96 (mariov96) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: No buddy list import tool for Trillian users Initial Comment: Trillian stores buddies in xml. Gaim does as well. Yet there is no tool to import my trillian buddy list (which i have spent time setting up) into gaim. Currently a blocker for some users (myself included). Please add an import tool which will not only take those buddies from other sources but also post them to their respective servers so next time i sign in from a new machine the list will be semi-restored. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: SourceForge Robot (sf-robot) Date: 2007-03-11 19:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1312539 Originator: NO This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system.

You haven't explained why there is a need to import the Trillian buddy list. If you're talking about setting up a new account and wanting to import the buddies from an existing account, that is something of a different request - I just don't see how people would want to move to a different client *and* new screennames, it doesn't make sense. If you can't delete buddies, that is a completely different issue (and I don't see how an import tool would help at all). If you're saying that we should be able to import the accounts from Trillian, that would make more sense, but that doesn't appear to be what you're talking about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: MarioV96 (mariov96) Date: 2007-02-24 19:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1725204 Originator: YES Applications that are offering a better alternative like Gaim have an 'Import from X' feature to coax and help users of other apps come aboard. Firefox improts from IE Gaim should do so for Trillian. This is but an enhancement request dont feel obliged but I feel its worthwilde to bring new users aboard. AIM's server is a mystery to me, if Gaim could help clean up that mess I could finally get rid of 'buddies' from 7 years ago who I no longer know. thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2007-02-21 11:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 Originator: NO Why is this necessary? Gaim (and I assume Trillian does this as well) stores buddies on the server for all protocols that support it (the one protocol that doesn't that I'm aware of is IRC). Simply logging into gaim with your account should import the buddies from the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1665325&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
