May I just ask if/how it deals with conversations with contacts which aren't on your contact list? It's not possible to send messages to people which aren't on your list through the Scripting engine (unless I'm mistaken).

EDIT: By the way, that script looks pretty awesome FFC. You should release it into the scripts DB when you've completed it, and it should be a 'Coolpick' imo

Yes, you can.

Ok then

You can even open a chat with yourself which isn't normally possible

If you are wanting to open a group chat and invite people in you can always use the cheap hack of using the /add command.  It is not ideal but it should work (with appropriate checks for if contacts are online and it is possible to send a message in the convo at that time).

Why don't you use ChatWnd.AddContact then?

Also, assume that your Messenger crashed while you were in a group conversation, and you quickly restart the program and then you would create a new group conversation. All the other contacts would have 2 opened group conversations and may get confused about which one to use. That's why I'd recommend to not try to add some sort of "group conversation restoring".

I've been using beta, it rocks

This looks hot!!
Release FFC right now!!

Just an update, I think I've nearly finished the script. There's one or two bugs i really need to sort out before I can release it though, but hopefully they should be sorted soon.

As for group conversations, I thought about a separate screen that would let you browse though the different group convos open when Messenger crashed and allow you to see who was in them, but when it came to implementing it I had a hard time keeping track of group conversations. I'll keep trying though, and it may be included in a future release should I figure it out.

Anyway, for now I've updated my previous post with an updated screenshot.

Scratch that, I've just thought of a much better way of doing certain things and it should make group conversation handling much easier too

I see myself. I must be cool and recieving a beta. WINK
