plus to many may have too many functions already but its functions that ppl will use some of them, others will use others funtions, etc. its user options and i dont think there are many functions at all

anyway for me there are some stuff that all the ppl will use (or almost) like the ones previous said here:

-> record camera

-> a built in Log viewer for the Plus! logs

-> file transfer with a check if the other user has plus start with it, if not use the standart msn one. I know i know there are already a plugin that does this but i wanted to see in Plus! already because many ppl that install Plus! dont install plugins like that (if any at all)

-> PSM recording in event log

-> and of course more power to Plus! API to build better plugins

Yeah sorry, I only read the first page and a half, so I'm not sure if anyone said this but..
One thing I've always wanted to see in Messenger Plus! is 'message prefixes'. For example you could have it so you could put a line of text for a prefix and every message you sent would have that before it. That seems sort of useless but for things like the Fader plugin and leet speak plugins, or background colour tags, it would be pretty practical.

Other then that I think Messenger Plus! is practically perfect. You did an awesome job on it!

I love Plus!  I have had it ever since I have had MSN.  I probably would be on MSN without Plus!  Patchou, you have been doing a great job, and still are.  I will be very sad if you this is the last release, but I will understand why.  I am just worried about when microsoft copies all the features that plus will have, then no one will have need it anymore 

It's nice to know that Plus! and it's community are growing at a steady rate. We aren't going anywhere soon, and I'm sure that you could use Plus!'s fanbase to help jump start any other projects you might want to do. Good luck with whatever you do Patchou!

* Concord Dawn suggests Plus! Messenger as a project for Patchou to start working on. Maybe make it support AIM/MSN/ICQ?

PS I think making Plus! compatible with *nix would be a really nice treat for some of the more tech-savvy members of the forums, but I'm sure that'd be a daunting task.

You dont want to bloat Plus! sure..... but theres always SOMETHING you can do. think about it, I only got the Mess Patch last week or so and I had no idea people could do stuff like that. Plus wouldnt have support for plug-ins if people didnt make suggestions.......

...... but I guess I'd live with it if you decided to stop now.

I haven't read through the posts, but maybe some features you could add are:
-Easy skinning so each account could have a different skin. Something like the contact list being the same colour as the chat windows or having a complete make-over (if you are allowed to do that).
-Contact list tab so it scrolls up/down/sideways when docked to the side of the window.
-Desktop Contacts: Conversation windows minimize to destop icon and when a message is recieved it flashes.

-I like that idea and look.


This would also be a good idea with the icons on the side to quickly switch account in one window.

As you said, you don't want to bloat Plus! for no reason. It's better to keep it looking nice and simple.

Anyway, you've done a very good job on Plus! Don't stress out trying to add all the features and if you think that it's time to start something new, you do that. It would be good if you could still spend a bit of time here though.

P.S

* Alpha Binary strongly agrees

I think u may stop developing, but...

• if there are new public versions of MSN Messenger which are incompatible, try 2 update Plus!
  
• if u got a great idea 4 a new feature, add it.

If u do this, will never die!

dodgy screeny lol

i have always wanted that

anyway, i think you've done a brilliant job creating plus. And are one of the most dedicated programmers i have ever seen . But it should be your choice whether you continue with plus or not. Either way, good luck with your future projects, i cant wait to see them

I've made a better concept before Just search the forums

i saw screens on the net of the leaked messenger plus and paste the tabs in my msn messenger :

Here are my concepts
