Bug #318: "Update iChat status based on current track" can be overriden

Description

I have never turned on anything in the instant message pane because I do not like it at all. I just launched synergy after iTunes was already playing and it changed my status and icon, and the pref pane STILL said that nothing was on... It was rather frustrating...

    Definitely can't reproduce this one myself. Have you tried deleting your preferences file? Or attaching it to this bug report so that I can take a look at it? It is:

    ~/Library/Preferences/com.wincent.SynergyAdvance.plist

    No good...

    Ok, now that I've seen your video and examined the code I've found the source of the code.

    The problem is that Synergy Advance is updating iChat because you have the checkboxes checked to update "When iTunes track changes" and "When iTunes player state changes", regardless of whether or not you have the "Update iChat status based on current track" checkbox turned on. The correct behaviour would be to ignore the former checkboxes whenever the latter is unchecked. I will go ahead and correct this right now for the next release.

    In the meantime, the workaround is to uncheck the offending checkboxes. Adding the "fixed-in-prerelease" keyword.
