Hello!

If I receive files from one of my contacts, it would be nice if they are stored in an individual folder.

e.g.
files of contact 1 in
C:\download\WLM\contact 1\

files of contact 2 in
C:\download\WLM\contact 2\

Best regards,
jeriko

Sharing Folders does that. Well it does when it actually manages to sync.

Sharing folders are being removed for the new WLM however and being replaced by the use of Windows Live SkyDrive

However what you're asking for is very possible with scripts, I'm sure if you posted a request in the scripting sub-forum that someone would be able to knock it together for you.

I doubt it will be included as a new feature in Messenger Plus though

MP!L does not know what contact the file transfer is being accepted from.

Oh, my mistake....I'd have thought it was something that would be relatively straightforward just checking the e-mail address attached to whatever window a file transfer is coming from

It's not hard to figure out WHO it's coming from... You have to do some stuff with a header to find the filename and filesize and if you could also figure out how far the transfer has completed. Unless they wanna put the script up, I doubt anyone else will wanna do this...

• Messenger sometimes uses the existing conversation connections, but sometimes connects directly meaning we have to listen on another port. Not sure if we ever figured out when/why each is used.
  
• If the file already exists, we need to figure out the new filename so we move the correct file.
  
• Polygamy. Only file transfers with the current messenger instance need to be detected, I think we had this working though.
  
• Xniff as you probably know, it's not very reliable and doesn't work at all for some people. If anyone can come up with a bulletproof way of detecting all incoming traffic, I can try and find time to work on this again because this was one of the main reasons we stopped working on it.

1) AFAIK during testing of my script, it never used a direct connection. Obviously it occasionally does, but I think you can determine the port from the connection messages.

2) Is it API calls or FileSystemObject that can use FileExists? Can't remember off the top of my head, but use recursive calls with an incrementing number until it returns false.

3) I hate polygamy with Xniff. Enough said.

4) I'm still waiting for a more reliable way. Even though I'm on Vista, with wireless network, my Xniff works, but obviously not for everyone... Is there any news of anybody making a better way of doing it (maybe on BETA forums? ) I thought I heard a few whispers

So, at this moment, there is now way to make it possible?

Ok, thank you!

Hopefully there will be a method to integrate this feature in future
