correct

Boolean value. If true (1), Messenger Plus! forces a JPG file to be sent in a file transfer when a picture is pasted in a conversation. Especially useful if you do not like Photo Sharing in Messenger 2009.

A "printscreen" -> paste (pasted information filenamn.jpg) gives file-transfer..
correct, and that is what is explained on http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/registry/

Note that "picture" is bitmap data (eg: a copy of the image in your image editor, a screenshot, etc), not a reference to file on your hard disk which you copied from Explorer or something. Picture data and a reference to a file are two completely different things.

but it is totally different clipboard data type.... for now Plus! only intercepts bitmap data from the clipboard, not file references.

But I agree that it would be better if Plus! would also auto-detect the type of a pasted or dropped referenced to a file, and override the PhotoShare if needed...

Maybe for less confusion the text in http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/registry/ should be changed from "when a picture is pasted" to "when bitmap data is pasted"...
