here are some suggestions.. by btofnc on 01-07-2010 at 02:25 AM

Hello,
Sorry for my poor English.

I have 2 suggestions for WLM Plus.

1.If it could add a schedule to set my personal status?
For example:
I want to display "Busy" at 8:00am every Monday to Friday and display "Away" for my lunch at 12:00pm and display "Offline" when I get off duty at 6:00pm.And every Saturday afternoon I wish it display "Away".

it's daily status so if WLM Plus cold add this feature?

2.If it could set different person in contacts for different personal photo.
For example:
I have photo1,photo2. When I talk with person1 my personal photo will show photo1.For person2 my photo will change to photo2.
If that could be developed ?

Sorry for my poor English again and hope you could know what I'm talking about...

1) Can be done via scripting, doesn't exist yet.

2) Can be done via scripting, but it'd have to change your display picture, so you can't have 2 different display pictures at the same time, aka if you're talking to both people at the same time it won't work. Also doesn't exist yet

I like idea 1. Maybe this should be implemented to Plus! :)

Thanks for your reply.

1.When will it exist? I'm looking forward to this feature.

2. Because it could be done in Yahoo messenger before. So I think if it is also able to be done by WLM. If it won't work at the same time just forget it.:$

Well a scripter will have to code it, request a script here and I suppose be patient should someone decide to code it :p

But if everyone had that attitude all Plus! would need is a scripting engine.

The scripting engine exists so that Plus! doesn't rely only on Patchou/Yuna software to have new features, anyone can add it's own bit to it.
Would write more if my battery wasn't near complete discharge by now :p

There's features for general users vs specific requests. Not everyone needs a script to schedule their statuses at specific times. General users USE chat logging, polygamy, colored messages, etc.

There's plenty of scripts that logically make sense to not be part of MP!L, it would be too cluttered. Do I think some scripts should be part of MP!L? Sure, but the point of scripting is so they don't have to be.

I really like the sound of Suggestion 1, it sounds like a very useful tool for those that leave their pc running constantly but aren't always physically there.

If I knew how to script I'd do it...

* kezz runs to the scripting section

A similar idea used to exist in Messenger Plus! 3.x if I remember correctly?

A few people started scripts but as far as I know they never got completed:
