May I again note that ANY open convo notifier will produce MANY false positives.

The reason for this is that there is NO open convo notifier which will work correctly since it is not possible anymore (since a very long time) because of how the protocol works.

You get the false positives because of many reasons. the ONLY thing these notifiers do is showing you when a session is opened.

A session is NOT an open convo, it can be many more things. Yes, vice versa, an open convo is also an open session but there are extremely many events which will trigger open sessions.

And as I predicted some time ago, more and more sessions are opening and closing all the time, resulting in such scripts/plugins/addons like this to be less and less accurate.

And no, there is NO way to destinguish between a true open convo notification and another one, despite what some people say.

File sends, Sharing folders, display picture updates, contact info updates, etc all trigger sessions to be opened (and because the sharing folders feature requires constant polling and checking you will even get notifications around the clock for certain people).

In short: nothing can be done to fix it, as there is nothing to fix.

The only thing which needs to be change is people using and interpreting or trying to interpret these things as "open convo notifiers" as that is NOT what they will do.
