Bug with auto-idle/away delay + tkdnd error

[Bocko]

Hi all,

I haven't seen this has been reported before but sorry if it has.
I'm using the latest version on the PPA Launchpad and if I try to change the delay before auto-idle/away and then click Save, it reverts to the default values when I reopen the Preferences menu.

Thanks for your support ^^

Working fine here 

Could you open the status console, clean it, and then open the preferences window and try to change the delay? Once done that, copy the text from the status log and pastebin it.

Seems I also have some problem with tkdnd and indeed I can't use the drag and drop feature...   Checking tkdnd's installation... and it seems to be correctly detected... Weird...

Code:

(amsn) 1 % package require tkdnd
1.0
(amsn) 2 % info loaded
{utils/tkdnd/libtkdnd1.0.so Tkdnd} {utils/gupnp/gupnp.so Gupnp} {/usr/lib/libtls1.50.so Tls} {utils/asyncresolver/libasyncresolver.so Asyncresolver} {utils/TkCximage/TkCximage.so Tkcximage} {/usr/lib/tcltk/snack2.2/libsnack.so Snack} {{} Tk}
(amsn) 3 %

Config file seems to be saved fine :s
Are you using some kind of portable version of amsn?

[Bocko]

No, I'm using the version from the PPA.
I manually changed the config.xml file and now the file is correctly saved by changing the values from the Preferences menu. Don't know why it didn't work before, the access rights were well-configured...
Anyway, I still have this tkdnd error...

[alexandernst]

Could you tell me exactly what did you change?
About the tkdnd error, it's a know problem and vivia is working on it.

I just edited once the config.xml by changing the idletime value:

Code:

<entry>
      <attribute>idletime</attribute>
      <value>7</value>     <!-- instead of 5 -->
</entry>

and it worked as it is supposed to but I don't think it was by editing the file that solved my problem.
After some thinking, I came up with another guess: basically, when I first tried, I wanted to activate the autoidle feature and put 10 minutes and leave the autoaway feature off. Since it's the same value for both, I guess that's why aMSN refused to change it even if I don't activate autoaway. The test code must be something like this:

Code:

if (idletime < awaytime)

Now, if I put a value below 10 minutes (which the default awaytime) it works.

[alexandernst]

It should be like that. First, amsn sets your status to "without activity" and then after a few more minutes sets it to "away".
