grouped dragging:
suggested before, read "Suggestion for floating contacts." and various other threads...
- Also suggested before, read "[Plug-in Request/New MsgPlus Feature] Add all contacts with few clicks of the mouse.." (second point). But like said in that thread, this is inpractical and impossible:

......
for several practical reasons. One would be, how on earth is Plus! going to determine which contact would be the topcontact in the "list" (which doesn't exist btw) when your contacts are randomly placed on the desktop, or even in columns for that matter; How are you going to define which contact is the first in the "row".
#1, yes you can drag them into a nice row manually, but an extra option which i dont believe would take too long to add, and would save time and would be more efficient for people who have quite alot of floating contacts.
#2, sorry i didnt realise it had been suggested before
#3, also bein able to have them listed by status would be good for people with quite alot of floating contacts... as far as the impossibility is concerned... it could be ruled off so that when the option "dock all contacts in a row" is selected... patchou could create a function to define wether they are all docked or not... if they are then each object would have an Index... simply looping them and re-arranging them in order of status could be done...
I believe that ALOT of people would appreciate the option's as it creates a 'contact list
feel' to it... and thats what it's there for... so that some users dont have to use their contact list...
If you made the option's more advanced like the above, then MORE people would use the feature, making it worth-while adding it.
