Description Martin Klapetek 2011-09-05 09:47:00 UTC 
Connection Managers with legacy ContactList channels won't automatically create a non-existant group while Tp::ContactManager::addContactsToGroup() with such group is called.

Relevant IRC conversation:
[18:36:51] <mck182> oggis_: will Tp::ContactManager::addContactsToGroup() create the group if it does not exist yet?
[18:38:47] <oggis_> for old-skool ContactList channels, no, sadly
[18:38:58] <oggis_> this might be a bug in tp-qt4, if it does that with the new Roster D-Bus API
[18:39:34] <oggis_> hrrrrm
[18:39:45] <oggis_> yes, for "new" CMs it is auto created
[18:41:00] <oggis_> in your code, please assume that it does - the old CMs (none at this point, except perhaps butterfly?) will be fixed by fixing the tp-qt4 bug

This is fairly irritating; however the importance of legacy ContactList channels support is rapidly fading.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say WONTFIX. telepathy-glib's ContactList helper stuff doesn't work with such CMs at all, so telepathy-qt having non-ideal support for them is really not a big deal.
