There is no list as such. Quassel will automatically rejoin the channels you were in at the time you shut Quassel down.

At the time being "Launchpad":https://www.launchpad.net doesn't support "git":http://gitorious.org/quassel.

h2. I lost my menu, how can I make it reappear?

Press @Ctrl + M@ and it should reappear. For other toolbars, you can display them from the submenu entitled "View".

If this does not work, do you still have the toolbar with "connect", "disconnect" and other buttons? If you have it, and right click it, 'show menubar' is the last item.

Check in @%appdata%\quassel-irc.org\quasselclient.ini@ or @~/.conf/quassel-irc.org/quasselclient.conf@ if there's a line with @MainWinHidden=true@. If so, change that to @MainWinHidden=false@

h2. How do I ignore specific highlights?
44 24 digitalcircuit
45 24 digitalcircuit
Version 0.13.0 and newer offer "Highlight Ignore Rules" to disable highlights in the same way you can add highlights.
46 24 digitalcircuit
47 24 digitalcircuit
For example, to ignore all pings from a bot with the nickname @qAnnounce@, add a new highlight ignore rule with empty rule text and a "Sender" of "qAnnounce!*".
48 24 digitalcircuit
49 24 digitalcircuit
Or, to keep a nickname variant from highlighting you, e.g. @yournick[m]@, add a highlight ignore rule with a "Rule" of "yournick[m]".

h2. How do I include special characters in Highlight/Ignore rules?
52 24 digitalcircuit
53 24 digitalcircuit
Version 0.13.0 and newer allow escaping special characters such as "*", "?", ";", "!", and "\" by prefixing them with an additional "\".
54 24 digitalcircuit
55 24 digitalcircuit
For example, "A question\?" would match "A question?" literally.
56 24 digitalcircuit
57 24 digitalcircuit
Sender/channel/scope are similar, with "\;" turning into a literal ";", and "\!test" matching the literal channel "!test" instead of inverting the rule.  "!" only needs escaped at the beginning of scope rules.

h2. How do I ignore CTCP requests?
62 12 seezer
63 12 seezer
Versions 0.5.2 and newer offer a "CTCP" type in the ignorelist settingspage.
64 12 seezer
If selected, the rule is parsed as follows:
65 12 seezer
66 23 digitalcircuit
@hostmask [CTCPCMD [CTCPCMD ...]]@
67 12 seezer
68 12 seezer
For example "* VERSION PING" would ignore VERSION and PING requests for any hostmask.
69 12 seezer
If no CTCPCMD is given, all requests are ignored.
70 12 seezer
71 12 seezer
Only global- and per network scope are supported.
72 12 seezer
Since CTCP is ignored on the coreside, "Strictness" is always permanent.

CTCP ignore is patched into quassel 0.5.0-0ubuntu1.1 for Ubuntu Karmic users.

h2. Why does clicking on the systray icon take me to some strange buffer called something like "bartol.freenode.net"?
77 18 EgS
78 18 EgS
This is a known bug that needs to be fixed. But there is a workaround (Requires Quassel 0.6.0+).
79 18 EgS
80 18 EgS
First some background:
81 18 EgS
Quassel allows to show notices sent from a specific IRC server in separate buffers. This behavior is controlled by the setting "Message Redirection -> Server Notices". The default setting is here to show them in the "Status Window". Until recently quasselcore would still create a buffer called "bartol.freenode.net" and store the messages in that buffer. When the client receives such a message it redirects them to the Status Window and the buffer "bartol.freenode.net" would be hidden from all "Chat Lists". The highlighting / notification processing still triggers the activity for the original "bartol.freenode.net" though.
82 18 EgS
83 18 EgS
The Solution:
84 18 EgS
Enable "Message Redirection -> Server Notices -> default target". This will make those "ghost buffers" visible and you can delete them. After that disable the setting again, so that Server Notices are only displayed in the "Status Window". Since Quassel 0.6.0 Quassel will not recreate the buffer unless you have "Message Redirection -> Server Notices -> default target" enabled.
