Hi there!

I think it would be really handy if there was an 'export quicktext' option. That way you could export your quicktext (to an ini-file or something), modify them and import them on another system, for example on a friends cpu or your own second system. It would surely save a lot of time.

Plus! -> Preferences -> Save/Load

Rocco wishes to be able to export his current preferences and modify them before importing them on another location. This is currently not possible with the Save/Load featore; you cannot edit the file between exporting and importing

well, yo ucan export the registry key, do thechanges you want and reimport the key wherever you want.. that's about all Messenger Plus! really does.

Ok guys! Thanx!

So all plus actually does, is create a new regkey when i create a new Quicktext? That would indeed allow me to export my regkey(s), edit it, and reimport it again!

Patchou (really great tool by the way! ) it would still be quite handy to incorporate such an (easy??) option, maybe??

Yes i know, i found them allready. But they are listed somewhere else too. Tried to edit them, the message worked, the command stayed original.

The next problem is that if i install these keys on a friends cpu, their keys will be changed to <the_msn_account_email> too. So i smell some problems here. Only way is to change that to their account. So, in theory, it can be done, but it isn't as easy as i would like to see it

ps. anyone know what the second set of keys actually does? They are located at:

[b]HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1715567821-842925246-1343024091-1003\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<the_msn_account_email>\Preferences\QuickTexts[b]

It's a copy. More info here.

Allrighty, i think i found some sort of solution ...

I exported the keys from the reg to a regfile, then i created a batch file, which i run with a parameter that is the msnmessenger (hotmail-) address. Like "createquicktexts.bat myaddress@hotmail.com"

I programmed the batchfile to create an .reg file with all the quicktext keys incorporated with the emailaddress i runned the batchfile with. So this way i only have to type the hotmail address once. I seems to work, i get a valid .reg file, but the only problem i'm facing now is that the my customized "Aliasses" don't show up in the Quicktext pullmenu in MP. The messages however work fine. Have to work on that ....
