Description

As you will read the first part will be a minor enhancement and the second parts will take more time.

Within the preferences dialog is the nickname entry, the label infront of the textbox is written in plural. The textbox suggests that there is only one nickname possible so it should be written in singular.

Besides the spelling, is it possible to have more nicknames in the GUI? This would be handy if a nick already is in use, so this way you can set an alternative nick. You could add a second textbox with the label "alternative nickname" or make listbox where the user can add more nicks.

If a user wants a different nick on different server, he must do this by typing /nick <newnick> when a connection has been established. This is one major irritating thing within every GUI irc client i've used. A user should be able to set a specific nick on a specific server in the server options tab. You could add a radiobutton within the server preferences called "Use global nicklist or specify yourself" and enable/disable a nickname textbox when a user enables/disables the radiobutton.

Smuxi supports multiple nicknames already, you can add one or more nicks to the entry with space or command between them. Not sure how to make that entry more userfriendly, I want something simple...

I documented that feature in a tooltip for the entry and changed the label to "Nickname(s)" to be more clear that it's not just one.

Fixed in SVN r401
