Re: about empathy as the default IM application

I guess my previous message wasn't clear - I'm not making an argument here from personal preference, I'm trying to file a bug in Ubuntu itself. Specifically, that dropping Pidgin will cause a regression in the user experience for migraters. I'm also not arguing that migraters are incapable of

Let's all refrain from a mono flamewar. We all know where we stand (if you don't, look elsewhere to learn more!) and won't change anyone's opinion. Anyways, someone on the forums started a discussion about this and i was wondering what you guys on the list though. There was a surprising amount of

Shutter as the default screenshot tool

Yes!, it would be great if shutter is included as the default screenshot tool in Karmic. And here are two ideas: + Include it by default in karmic, and make an "Upload to Ubuntu One"(if installed) option in the app. + Add another option: to be able to record the desktop as a .gif image, as byzanz

I've recently been bothered more and more by Ubuntu's lack of better clipboard management. I don't know all the details but i think we could really do with a clipboard manager installed by default.

Re: about empathy as the default IM application

The discussion so far has been people arguing about why they prefer Empathy or Pidgin, but at UDS it was already decided that Empathy would ship with Karmic. I humbly request that we all stop bickering about any problems we may currently have with it, and start testing it and filing bug reports so

I'm not usually one to stand in the way of progress, but it seems like there are grave issues here for people migrating from other OSes. Migration to Linux from another OS is best done in two stages: first you keep your old OS and switch to cross-platform apps, then you switch your OS and keep

Re: about empathy as the default IM application

Personally I don't see anything about empathy that is worse than pidgin. Empathy has the plus of being extremely well integrated into GNOME and the telepathy framework opens up such huge potential. Sticking with Pidgin keeps us locked in the corner, we could be so much cooler if we can get out of

Empathy itself is ok with version 2.27.3 for an average user. The problem is telepathy: some protocols are behind pidgin's (such as MSN which is poorly supported and developers don't respond to bugs quickly) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify setting
