Whitelist for Adium?
Jerry Brito | Oct 10 2007
In his recent IDEO video, I thought I heard Merlin say that Adium has an easy way for you to filter who sees you online. I think I inserted wishful thinking into what I heard because I can't find what I'm looking for. Maybe you can point me in the right direction. What I'd ideally like is a whitelist. I have dozens of contacts on my buddy list. When I'm trying to get work done, I don't want to be available to everyone in order to decrease interruptions. That said, there are two or three contacts I would still like to be available to, like my girlfriend or business partner. Ideally I could tell Adium to set my presence as invsible to everyone except those in a certain group. The only thing I can find is per-user presence settings (i.e. "Always appear offline to Username"). Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this? Thanks! 2 Comments

Check out " The easiest one is to just "Allow only contacts on my contact list," but if you're being super-picky, you can select "Allow only certain contacts" and then manually add in a few VIPs. Plus there's always "Stealth Mode" which you get by selecting "Invisible" as your Away Status. Then you see others but they don't see you. » POSTED IN:
