Presently using msgplus I can select to receive notifications when contacts go offline, change their name, go idle, etc.
I can set these alerts up based on certain contacts or all contacts. I'd like something that allows me to do it by contact group. It needs to be more dynamic.
For example if I have 23 people in my co-workers group and I'm not working at the time, I want to be able to untick the co-workers group from notifications. Then when I start working again I can tick that group instead of finding all 23 people in the list and ticking each of them.
Another example, contacts can be sorted into a notify and silent groups using groups in the contact list. I can setup all the alerts for people in the notify group (could be any group really) and when they go offline or come online a notification is activated because they are in that group. However, if I were to move 3 contacts out of that contact list group, then I wouldn't receive notifications. It's almost like controlling notifications from the contact list instead of msgplus preferences.
It would also be good to then place an exclude on certain contacts within a group so you don't receive notifications. For example, Jane is on my contact list and she is always opening and closing full screen applications and this can sometimes trigger lots of switching between busy and online giving me notifications. I would get notifications though because she's in a contact group setup with notifications. It would be nice to then add an exclude via msgplus for that contact and those notifications.
Is this doable? Does anyone think they can arrange it?
