plug to Manage contacts by Colt on 03-18-2005 at 11:29 PM
hello everybody
i'm sure you all have a lot of friends on msn, so how are you managing all?
yes you can create "groups"
anyway, there's still a lot of contacts and we cant see everything...
maybe we could do "columns" with a plug???
for example:
friends familly officce
- ....... - ........ - .........
- ....... - ........ - .........
- ....... - ........ - .........
- ....... - ........ - .........
ect....
does this kind of plug already exist???
is it hard to do?
will we forever have our contacts with this presentation?
friends
- .......
- .......
- ......
family
- .......
- .......
- office
........
.........
(i did my best in english
)

ye cool Idea I think it would be pretty usefull especially when you got like 20 ppl online.. you can't all see them online.. I dunno if there's a plug-in though.. so.. ye. that's it.. but cool idea! if anyone can make it? cuz Im not a programer..

I doubt it can be made in the contact list. But as a separate window, maybe.

Really nice suggestion Colt!
I'm supprised I didn't think of this....
RE: plug to Manage contacts by Colt on 03-18-2005 at 11:52 PM
you think, open two session messenger (using polygamy i think....)?
yes, but it make two sessions, and i think that it doesnt resolve things, unfortunately
i really fought a way to manage in one session....

The problem is you can't really change the layout of the contactlist and add more columns or make groups in groups. I guess it's not possible.
RE: plug to Manage contacts by Colt on 03-19-2005 at 12:01 AM
yes, i saw people who tried to make groups in groups (they sure have their reason) but problem is stil the same, we still need to search for contacts with this kind of contact list
now, we can customise a lot of things with msn.... we can even do lots of stupid things or things that aren't essential
but the contact list is still the same....
a new challenge for the programmers!!!!!

This is more like a suggestion for the MSNM team, tbh.
Like with the sub-groups one.

you think no plug could do this one day?
only MSNM team have this power?

Because of the way the contact list is made, it doesn't seem possible (atm).MSNM team have this power because they made it.
So it seems logical they could find a way to do it.
RE: plug to Manage contacts by Colt on 03-19-2005 at 10:47 AM
hum, ok thx
too bad anyway....
i dont think that this kind of function is planned with next msnm version
but i tried
see ya

MSNM team have this power because they made it.
with the new msn 7 way of displaying contacts, this is actually easier than with the older versions. but this would require a hell lot of programming knowledge and experience, which I don't have at the moment (not enough for that).
