Auto Accept "Troubles?" by Sypher on 05-30-2004 at 09:54 PM
Well,
First of all, Great job you did on Plus!3 but I've found something inside it what's quite annoying...
Two problems I've found in the Auto Accepting-thing
> First, is a small thing.. It doesn't always accept automatic, sometimes you get a message like "Cannot send reply" or "Cannot sent Invitation"..
I guess it also has something to do with duplicate filenames
> 2nd "problem" is slighly bigger..
If you have auto-accept turned on for a person EVERY request will be auto accepted... Filetransfers, Microphone conversations, Webcamming and even the Launch menu... I think it's kinda irritating... I won't give an example but you could think of uninvited webcamming or something like that.. 
Yes, you cóuld unplug your webcam, or microphone....or turn of the function but i guess that won't be handy.. It isn't turned on for no reason 
I hope you can change some things that you can choose whát thing should be autoaccepted:
- LaunchMenu Items
- Webcam
- Audio Conversation
- File Transfer
Anything I forgot?
I hope you will all agree on this point, and I hope Patchou reads this..

I agree it would be nice to filter certain requests aside from others, but if your really unsure if someone will send you a web cam request or something unwanted, then for now just filter them out

And if you don't want to do that, then turning the camera away from pointing at you, or turning the sound down on your mic shouldn't be too much trouble 
Maybe Patchou will add this in a later version
Don't forget he still has to get the feedback from these new features to judge on the next move

That's the reason i've posted this.. But as I've said before....

But that filtering part, I don't think it's that hard... Or I'm mistaking... But one pulldown menu with the options, or checkboxes or something... Would be easier than doing counter measures...
Especially the Auto accept of Games is irritating
No counter measure for that though...

Totally support the idea

quote:Well yes, of course it would be easy to add a pull down menu, checkboxes and any other necessary options to handle what the end user wants to do with the auto-accept, but if your talking about how easy it would be to detect what the request actually is then it wouldn't be. I mean Patchou may well be able to do this, but doesn't mean its as simple as 123

And i know what you mean, because i do agree it would be nice, but for the time-being while you don't have this feature to filter specific requests, im was just giving some examples. If you look back, to when this was first mentioned, you will see that almost everyone popped this question about only accepting certain requests, and it was an issue. (Search Button will tell you more if you haven't read them already) But yeah, many people before MP!3 was released said that this should be a needed feature.. i can't remember what that discussion ended with, but all i know now is we can filter certain contacts.. so maybe this was the idea that came to mind..Anyways, i hope this option is added as well
quote:Hmm.. not sure why that’s happening but Patchou or someone else might have more of an insight
First, is a small thing.. It doesn't always accept automatic, sometimes you get a message like "Cannot send reply" or "Cannot sent Invitation"..
maybe this will be fixed in the new update, soon to be released

If you get an error when accepting, it comes from Messenger, not Messenger Plus! . As for selecting what kind of request to auto-accept, that will probably be an improvement in the near future .

Hey Patchou, glad to see you, Tnx for replying
I'm looking forward to that Feat
