Description Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-12 04:45:17 UTC

As with accounts (#29528) I'd like to be able to ask for extra account and connection features when preparing the account manager.

One of my use case here is Empathy's account chooser widget. It offers a _set_filter() API so user just have to return TRUE/FALSE depending if he wants to to sensitive the account or not.
The "new call" dialogs uses it and filter accounts having a connection supporting media channels. To re-implement it using TpCapabilities (and so clean and simplify Empathy), the user should receive a TpAccount which is ready and which has a TpConnection having TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES prepared.

If we follow the crazy idea I suggested in bug #29528 this could easily be done by passing TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE and TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES to tp_proxy_prepare_async() when preparing the account manager.

I think this is already fixed by setting features on the TpSimpleClientFactory API.

Agreed, and it's more general that way (also applies to Accounts and Connections you get as a Client etc). We took the same approach in tp-qt in the end.
