Check incoming files by wincy on 02-20-2008 at 06:32 PM

Hi!

I was wondering if it's possibile to detect size and/or extension of an incoming file in a messenger conversation.

Otherwhise, is there a way to determine when a file is received (before or after accepting transfert)?
Sorry for my poor english.

Thanks in advance,
Vincent

I believe extensions are shown if Windows Explorer is set to show them. Also, I thought the size was always displayed?

Sorry, my question was not so clear.

I was asking if it's possible to display file extension/name/size in a Messenger Plus! live Script window.
I already know functions like:

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage()
{   
      // Function Here
}

But is it possible to do something like?: (dummy function)

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveFile()
{   
      MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Test","File Size: " + Fsize + "","","Function");
}

Sorry, it's not possible through plain Messenger Plus! Live scripting to detect and receive information from an incoming/outgoing file transfer.

I believe that there was some kind of script in development some time ago (read: ages ago) which seemed to have found a way to detect this, but we've never heard anything about that for a very long time, unfortunately. :(

Ages ago... So i'm not gonna find it on this forum, i guess...? :S

Well, thanks for reply!

You will find information about it, but you won't find any released versions or progress updates, unless the creators magically return. :P

I do believe so. I seem to remember talking with Dempsey about it on MSN back when it was still MSN.

RE: Check incoming files by wincy on 02-24-2008 at 03:39 PM

Ok, i found an old thread of ages ago... Hope i'll get a reply from Eljay or Dempsey... Thanx for all

Correct, but we were using Xniff for detecting the file transfers and it's not very reliable so we gave up :P If anyone can create a reliable packet sniffer then I will start working on it again.
RE: Check incoming files by wincy on 02-24-2008 at 03:45 PM

Can i ask why wasn't it reliable? Does it worked?
I just want determine file size and file type.

Do you think i should give up? :( I'm asking to you 'cause you've already tried working with those things... *-)
