[Adium-devl] potential idea / rfe: write-protect switch for tabs?

[Jordan S.]

I think an important question would be, is this 'mute button' going to help
solve the problem you're describing? More specifically, is anyone going to
remember to use it? From what you've described you are alt-tabbing
applications... how many people are going to take that extra step to mute
the conversation before switching apps?
I'm not against it - especially as a 3rd party plugin - I'm just not sold on
the usefulness of it!
