[Psi-Devel] Contacts in multiple groups -- no longer possible?

[dev.akhawe at gmail.com]

How is this intuitive? I would surely have to look into a manual to
realise that I have to press ctrl to copy and shift to move.

Even right now moving contacts across groups is a pain, if I have a
large number of people in my roster (scrolling through the roster
etc.). Thats why I prefer using the context menu entries ..


Why can't we have a simple "Groups" button  in the context menu that
will show a list of different groups in a vertical / horizontal list
and I can just tick / click on the groups I want to include?

For e.g, all the groups in which the contact is already in would be
bold, and those isn't in normal. Clicking on the group toggles the
contact's groups membership (bold to not bold and vice versa).  Or a
checkbox with preexisting group membership ticked.

IMHO, this is much more simpler and easier, primarily because actually
moving a contact across the roster (i.e top to bottom etc.) is a major
pita, which can be avoided.
