Plugin Idea: k-killer by Vramin on 02-28-2006 at 04:06 PM
I have an idea for a plug in, and I'm willing to take a run at it, but this is the first time I've ever looked at this plugin stuff, so there might be something out there that already does what I'm after, or at least lays the ground work as a jumping off point. I've looked around a little, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction if there's something I just didn't see.
The notion of the k-killer is this:
When I'm IM'ing, I'm usually doing other stuff, too, so I toggle off to another app or another machine after sending a message. Then someone messages back and says:
quote:
k
It's very annoying to toggle back and see only that.
I want to set up a prenotification filter so that, when the response is simply "k" or "okay" or whatever, the text is displayed, but the notification sound is not made and the taskbar doesn't flash. I don't mind reading
quote:
k
but I hate changing machines and toggling apps just for
quote:
k
If there is something similar I should use or look at as a jumping off point, please let me know. If this sounds like a useful plugin that hasn't been done already let me know and I will see what I can do about implementing it. If it has been done, then by all means point me toward the plugin.

Use ActiveAccessibility to monitor the conversations. Then if the text that shows up isn't 'k' or 'okay' then play the wave sound saying you have a new message.

However, how would you stop the sound from playing and stop the window from flashing if the message is "k" or "okay"?

I suppose I could disable notification overall, then let the script provide the notification if the message passes the filter...

PM raspourk raceprouk (
Plik) to find out how he did it. And you can have your status set to something other then Online and it will disable the sound playing.

Didn't you prevent the conversation windows from flashing at one point?

no - you said "other than online"
the status has to be "busy" - you didnt say that

quote:Sure, that would suppress all notifications, but I need to get meaningful notifications. I have 4 machines on a KVM, and when I'm off on different machine I still need to hear it when an IM comes in, but I hate having to switch machines, interrupt what I'm doing, for a meaningless "k" response.
