You claim open window notifiers still work provided you can interpret and distinguish between true and false warnings.
The fact is that you can NEVER know for SURE, you only GUESS. As far as I know guessing is not included in a working program...
Wrong. Its not guessing. If you get a window opened notification and then you click it, and it says they're typing, then they obviously DID open your window.

No!
You cant explain why then?

Which was already stated before and which was already replied upon before... hence, no, nothing new...
Point out where what I said in my first post was already mentioned in this thread.

I'm not going to search the thread for your behalf, do your own homework. I have put already more than enough time in this... (as a matter of fact, everything, yes everything, said in this thread has already been discussed many years ago also... and on many different forums)...
And im not going to look for something in this thread which probably doesnt exist.
As for being discussed on other forums, im not denying that it probably has been.

Hence it doesn't work.
If you get a job to make a search engine to search for cars and it also replies with boats, trucs, airplanes, don't tell me your boss is going to be happy and say "wow, a working car search engine, nice, hear is $1000".... Common sense...
Yea ok thats a fair point. On similar, but slightly different analogy, if you needed to search for cars, and the only way you could search for cars was to use a search which also incuded boats, trucks, and planes, then you'd still use it, as you'd know which ones are actually cars.

it's perfectly on topic as it is almost a perfect analogy...
(but I also could have replied with the stupid "what? you don't have anything to counter that? So you know I'm right" reply...)
Explain how its a perfect analogy, as I dont use such things. and that is the reason i've not countered it so dont try that one. like i said in the previous post, I am not up on the whole blockchecking situation.

We are very obviously not talking about bugs...
Yea i guess so.
quote:
A bug is something which happens which is not supposed to be happening, a programming error... False open window notifs all the time are SUPPOSED to be happening with a session notifier. There are no programming errors in a session notifier, yet it does not work as a window notifier as there are no unique messages to specify opened/closed windows.
going round in circles here.. yes in its present form, it is not a reliable window open notifier. However it can still be used as one.
(as for the parts of your post i havnt quoted, that is because they are more immature replies which i cant be arsed with)
markee;
that post from stuffplug's site is basically saying it was removed due to being innaccurate. - As I have stated, these features can still be used as long as you understand them, like how i said in my first post in this thread.
