Why is the photo sending feature in the reg only? by riahc4 on 03-26-2009 at 12:08 PM

Hey

I think that it is a great idea to replace the photo sharing feature with photo sending using a option in Plus! but why is it in the reg? Any reason why it cannot be a regular option?

i just really hate it... =\

Yeah, i think it's the beginnings of a feature rather than an actual feature

You'll probably find that in Plus! 5 that it'll be a proper option somewhere rather than just a dodgy registry key

And where exactly is the reg entry?

Make sure you create it as a DWORD

Because those things are never explained in the changelog, but always on the official website > Help section > Registry Settings

;)

On a side note, someone (or I, but I dont remember right now how to do it) should create a .reg file, just in case newcomers dont want to go or mess around in their registry.

Id just have to know a way that Plus! uses to store/know the current signed in user's email to replace it in the reg line.
And on that note, maybe a script would be better. A script is alot more user friendly than the registry.

There is already a script which let you change all those registry settings. It just needs to be updated again....

Come on riahc4, don't tell me you never heared of any of these things. You're already here for almost 5 years now. :S

It's true that it could be a UI option, but I'm counting on the Plus! script that offers all the reg settings to be updated soon :p.
