Invisible Lists Plugin v1.0 alpha by n0n4m3 on 12-13-2005 at 11:18 PM
Hi,
I developed a C# plugin called Invisible Lists. It allows you to create different groups of contacts (different from the ones you have in your contact's list) and to block/unblock them. It can be useful when you're at work for example.
This is an alpha version which means that it may have some bugs 
To install just run the exe file in the attachment. The plugin has an help section accessible through the Plus!>Preferences>Plugins>InvisibleLists>Configure... (that's also where you configure your groups and other options).
Since this is a C# plugin, if you have another C# plugin installed in plus then you'll only be able to see one of the plugins in Plus! plugins' section.
Any comment/suggestion/bug, just post here or write me an email.
Update: Sorry, the plugin had some annoying debug messages (all removed). Thanks to J-Thread for letting me know.
Enjoy,
Ricardo Sabino.

So, when are you going to make it compatible with other C# plugins?

Well, if i could have made it compatible with other c# plugins, i would have done it but, unfortunately, i (and TazDevil and J-Thread) tried to find a way to do this but to no avail :\ (there's also the problem that TazDevil mentioned about unloading c# plugins)

Makes me glad I'm sticking with native C++ after a fruitless endeavour with J#.

Don't click Configure when you've entered some groups... It makes you click Ok a lot!!

... great! Very original idea, not to mention a very basic simple but usefull idea.I wonder why Patchou (or anybody else) never came up with that to implement in Plus!.

If it could be coded in C++, this would be top.

Although .Net has some disadvantages as you mentioned, it also has the advantage of providing a huge library (framework) that you can use to develop your plugins/programs faster (not to mention the fact that we don't have to worry about any memory leaks
)..I might reconsider changing it to c++.. I'll think about it
I also had another (great!.. or not
) idea for another plugin. This one will probably be coded in c++ but I'm still studying it.
