RE: [Pre-Release] StatusNick
I'll post more as I continue to test its functionality.


For now, I like your Debug Tracing formatting. That's just me.

It appears to work fine when it's running... But when you disable the script, it changes your name--and not to match your status. Judging by the code, it reads OnEvent_Uninitialize as signing out, even if you're just disabling the script or signing in somewhere else--and it changes your status to the offline thing.

That's the only major bug I'm noting at the moment. There are a couple peculiarities in your file paths I'm going to investigate later--specifically, it doesn't look like this will work as well with multiple e-mails--but at the moment I just gave it an overview and it looks good.

You may also want to consider including:
-The option to alter your PM as well as your name.
-The option to disable name-switching for a particular status. To elaborate, the way it's set up now, you have to have something in every name field in the configuration... There's no way to tell it NOT to switch your name if you go to a certain status. I'd add a check box next to each status so the user could disable that... That way I could change from Online to Away and Busy to Away without altering my Online or Busy name/messages, respectively.

(That may not be what you designed it for, but it's something I'd sure like to see, though, to be honest, the script I'm working on now is similar enough I probably won't end up using yours. Still enjoying checking it out, though.)
