RE: Scripting API Wishlist
I am not a coder myself, but I think Scripts miss a lot of features they should have. Scripts are like Extensions in Firefox, IMO. They are neat little tools to add functions to Messenger quickly and easily. Yet, they lack several things Firefox Extensions have and I find that very important. Well, they are...
1. Versions
This is very important. I find it very annoying that I can't track whether this bug in a script is fixed or not. Is my script outdated, etc. I think this is crucial.
2. Options Dialogue
Well, scripts can have an option dialogue, but I think it'd be more useful if there's an options button in the scripts preferences menu. It is more organized that way, rather than clicking options in the contact list only.
3. Homepage of a script
People can check for news of the script, etc.
4. About Dialogue
We can actually know what they do with this, in case we forget.
5. Script Menus are in a compact menu
In the plus' icon's dropdown menu, both the one in conversation windows and the one in contact list, scripts menus (options, etc) are just in a stack of pile. This makes the dropdown menu very long if you have a lot of script. Making it a compact menu would be lovely.
