My idea...

That's possible for a script to do... just keep track of the chat windows that are opened and if you dont get a close notification, next time Messenger signs-back, start a convo with those people.

The thing which a script could not do is restore the conversation text into the window if that's what your suggestion entailed.

No, that wouldn't be needed I don't think. There's always the option of "Show my last conversation in new conversation windows" in Options.

How would group convos be handled?

Ignore them?

This would be great especially if you leave your laptop on battery power and  forget to connect it to the mains and your PC shutdown (or something involving shutoff) and the you can see who was talking to you. Instead of looking through chat logs. As for the groups you can make it look like they are there but when you talk it adds them into the convo and if you don't it wont. (just an idea)

Would something like this do?



Just something I threw together last night after reading this thread. It's a WIP, and it currently ignores group convos completely, but I could finish and release it if there's any demand.

The basic concept seems to work when I've ended the process for WLM using task manager, dunno if it would work in other situations but I assume it should.


Edit: Now with updated screenshot

FFC, that looks great!
I think you should seriously release that script! Maybe add a Cancel button so that you don't have to go look for the "Don't restore" option, but apart from that... I WANT IT!

Haha, that's awesome FFC!
Yeah, stick a cancel button in there too.

May I just ask if/how it deals with conversations with contacts which aren't on your contact list? It's not possible to send messages to people which aren't on your list through the Scripting engine (unless I'm mistaken).

EDIT: By the way, that script looks pretty awesome FFC. You should release it into the scripts DB when you've completed it, and it should be a 'Coolpick' imo

Yes, you can.

You can even open a chat with yourself which isn't normally possible

If you are wanting to open a group chat and invite people in you can always use the cheap hack of using the /add command.  It is not ideal but it should work (with appropriate checks for if contacts are online and it is possible to send a message in the convo at that time).

I've been using beta, it rocks

This looks hot!!
Release FFC right now!!

Just an update, I think I've nearly finished the script. There's one or two bugs i really need to sort out before I can release it though, but hopefully they should be sorted soon.

As for group conversations, I thought about a separate screen that would let you browse though the different group convos open when Messenger crashed and allow you to see who was in them, but when it came to implementing it I had a hard time keeping track of group conversations. I'll keep trying though, and it may be included in a future release should I figure it out.

Anyway, for now I've updated my previous post with an updated screenshot.

I see myself. I must be cool and recieving a beta. WINK

First public version of script released
