Hello all,

This script displays a toast message when you close a conversation too fast after receiving a message.
You can control the settings of the script through the settings window found in the ReadThis entry in the Plus! menu in your contact list.
The script supports the following commands:

• /rtAbout - opens the about window
  
• /rtOff - disables ReadThis toasts
  
• /rtOn - enables ReadThis toasts
  
• /rtSettings - opens the settings window

I love this script. I didnt know it existed before it got announced as a winner, I'm using it now

Great script, great idea. It's great to see a simple script come together so professionally, hence I don't have any suggestions for it .

well, thanks for the compliments

There still are no known bugs, so unless anyone finds one, this will be the version that will be shipped with the special MP!L release.

*bump*

anyone??


Or is there really not a single bug left in the script??
(sounds unlikely to me)



sorry for the double post, I felt the urge to bump the thread

Great script!
I can't find any bugs, so enjoy your work .
You could make this work with Nudges, Action Text etc (if it does already, just ingore ), if you'll need something new.

Hey vikke,
thanks for your suggestion, nudges and action texts are indeed not yet supported. I'll look into that tonight, but it shouldn't be that big a problem.

Go for it! I'm waiting

Just posted an update, not that much has changed this time, but more is on it's way.

The action messages and nudges are a bit more complicated than I thought at first. The problem is that xniff doesn't "know" which window is receiving the action message/nudge. I could fix it the dirty (and possibly easiest) way by just assuming that all the convo's containing a contact with the specified email receive the message. But first I want to take a look at the negative side-effects of that method and compare it to other ways of working around this problem.
Suggestions are welcome, ofcourse

You can add Wink, Voice Clip, Search, and Search Results, by the OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage event at least.

*update*

All message kinds in OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage are now supported.
I don't think I will add support for Nudges and Action messages as the available methods to assign one of those "messages" to a conversation window are not very reliable.
If I DO add support for those types, you will have to change a registry key to enable them.

lol another update.
v2.01 fixes a bug in which the Cancel button on the preferences window would save the "Enable Toasts for:" setting.

Me and my beta-testers haven't found any problems yet in the latest version, but if you still find one (even if you're not sure), please let me know so that it can be fixed before the deadline for the special MP!L release in which it will be included (february 25th)

thanx,
Jesus

*update*

thanks to Patchou for reporting the bug




* Jesus notices it's his 3rd post in a row in this thread already

Great script im liking it so far, certainly comes in handy cheers.

...and another update...

Changes in this version (2.03):
-Fixed: Settings weren't always checked properly when receiving a message.
-The script is now compatible with StuffPlug 3 timestamps.

version 2.06 is here, get it while it's hot

This version improves the handling of contacts with chat-only names and the use of timestamps.
Timestamps are now always removed from ReadThis! toasts and toasts from contacts with a chat-only name can now also be clicked, unless they are generated in a multi-convo. If anyone knows a solution for that I'd be glad to hear it.

I found a bug in the script. The script will not check if it's a contact that sent the message or if it was yourself. It will popup a window even if it was yourself that sent the last message.

You might also be interested in the fact that I posted about it over at Messenger Stuff

I've looked into this bug, but I can't reproduce it. Neither have I found anything that may lead to the cause of the problem.

If anyone has some more info about the bug I might look into it again.

yeah happens to me all the time, type a message hit enter then ESC a split second later it will display the message you sent in a pop up

ok, can you give me some more info like wlm/mp!l/windows version and debug output?

thanks in advance

Happens to me also

SonicSam - Now with Krusty O's and Buzz Cola! says:
Windows Vista Ultimate (6.0.6000)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.0601
Messenger Plus! Live 4.23.0.276

Hm I don't get it... Are you sure you are using the latest version of the script? (just checking)
your own messages shouldn't even be stored (except for the time between OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage and OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage)

Anyway, I just upgraded to WLM 8.5beta and I still can't reproduce the bug. The only thing that's still different is my windows version, but I find it hard to believe this could be a Vista related issue.
Are there any XP users experiencing this bug?

Also, debug outputs are still welcome

Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
Function called: OnEvent_Initialize
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndDestroyed
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage
Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndDestroyed

Those appeared when I entered a message and pressed escape .

The commands don't work
I tried all of them

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.0601
Messenger Plus! Live 4.23.0.276

Oh yeah, also forgot to mention that happens also .

Nice script

You say you've uploaded it to 2.07, but it still looks like 2.06.

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/187-ReadThis/

And i cant get the commands to work with that version. (Vista)

this script needs to be updated after the new release... maybe an interface for settings would be nice too and support unicode in display names...
