[Edgy and Feisty] Smiley themes are not exported to other users

Hi Nicolas,

thank you for reporting.
Your problem is that you chat-partner does not see the same smilies that you see?
Does he see a text representation of the smilies or isn't sent anything to this user where a smilie should be?

He sees only a text representation (he noticed that to me) but not the smilie picture.

Hi Nicolas,

this is the desired behavior. The instant protocols don't support sending of images within the normal textmessages. A smilie-Set converts the images that are shown to you into text. The chat client on the other end has to install the same smilie set to see the same images that you see.

Best regards,

But how can we do with differents IM apps ? And how can you explain that I can see her smilies whereas I haven't them at all ?

Hi Nicolas,

if you can see the smilies that he send, then you have a smilie set installed that has an image for the text represation of his smilie.

This must not be the same smilie that he sees. If you want to see what his client really sends do the following:

(I assume you have kopete 0.12.3. It might be different on other kopete versions).

Klick on Settings->Configure. Choose then "Appearence" from the left tab. There will be a check box that is labeled "Use emoticons". Please disable this check box and let your friend send you some similies. You will see that he acutally does not send images but text.

Best regards,
  Lothar

Lothar, I assure you that my friends shows me often new smilies and that I haven't them on my computer, this is confirmed with the fact a blank area appears, and then their smilies. In msn for example, you can share emoticons with your friends by typing them in the chat window.
