[Release] Auto-Close (Version 1.1.2) by Spunky on 01-07-2008 at 12:36 AM

This script is based on the request in this thread:
Automatically windows-close

The script closes conversation windows that have been idle for a set period.

Added a toast warning 5 seconds before closing that you can click to reset the timer (so default is to add another 60 seconds)

Also added an event to catch key presses that also reset the timer

Sweet, but a suggestion, how about an option in the settings panel to display a MP!L toast when the conversation is auto-closed :p

I was thinking about it with the option to cancel it by clicking the toast, but the script was really designed to shutdown conversations quietly in the background whilst you're busy doing somehting else. You know me though, it'll be added soon ;)

I love this thing and it's so brilliant and simple. Here's a thought (or 2), though:

Basically, when you are away from the computer and someone messages you...the script would close the window X minutes after they write their last message. Then you would NEVER know that person ever messaged you. Maybe if you could set the script not to close the window when you have a status such as away.

Ah, yes, something else. Say the timer is ticking...10,9,8,7,6,5.... and you are in the middle of typing a reeeeeeaaaaaallllllly long message, then 3, 2, 1 and the window closes...gah. I suppose you could reset the timer on ChatWndEditKeyDown. Not sure how heavy it is on the processor to Delete and Add a timer every keystroke :S.

Just something for you to think about, not got the time to mod it myself.

Cheers,
Jase.

Thanks for the suggestions. They all sound reasonable and I will try to add them...

All you need to do is call MsgPlus.AddTimer('id', time); and it will be reset.
No need to delete :)

I'd still need to clear the timer... If adding one clears one of the same name, it still has to cancel the previous one anyway doesn't it? (Plus it could be reset every 10 characters typed or something



New version, see first post :p

what about un-read messages?

Maybe it can be an option to display the toasts?
