RE: Patchou, Feature Request
kae, i noticed u lack some technical info, and so i suggest instead of your factual tone, you are better off using a questioning tone... allow me to explain:
In the world MSN IM there are five distinct categories that u seems to totally confuse: (1)MSN Protocol (2)MSNM (3)Plus! (4)Plus! Plugins (5)Addons That Have Nothing To Do With Plus!
MSN Protocol, and MSN Messenger are programmed by Microsoft, Patchou has no control what so ever on how those behave.
MSN Protocol should be invisible to the user, yet 3rd party softwares have been manipulating\exposing it. Patchou doesnt do tht dot on the line. two examples of programs that do that are: Stuff Plugin (a plus! plugin, not plus itself) and Messenger Discovery (a completely different Plugin)
MSN Messenger does not have any option to tell the user if you closed a window or anything (it does recieve a signal but doesnt show it to the user, 3rd party softwares have been exploiting that)
please note that the "custom emoticons" feature you are talking about is a MSN Messenger feature, and Plus! is no way related to its existance.
Plus! is a software developed by patchou, it doesnot mess with the protocol, it just uses API (Application Programming Interface) which are functions PROVIDED AND DOCUMENTED by microsoft's team, they are built in functions in the MSN messenger, and they are their with the purpose of tht other applications use them... so Plus! doesnt do anything tht MSN's team didnt intend to happen.
Plus! plugins are not developed by patchou... they are programs' tht use Plus!'s API, just like how Plus! uses MSN Messenger's API... so patchou has no control at the Plus! plugins also.
so to put it in simple terms, please understand those points:
(1) The details of the protocol are defined by microsoft, so if you want to complain, go ahead and complain to microsoft, not patchou
(2) Cookie didnt say impossible, he kinda said impractical, and there is a difference,,, besides, its true tht its not possible for patchou to change tht, bcuz its microsoft who is concerned.
(3) YOU DONT HAVE TO INSTALL ANYTHING for you closed window notification to be reported.... you are missing that point. the signal is sent wether you have plus! or not, and wether you have anyother 3rd party software or not. In other words, your friend has a software designed to show him that message, not the other way around.
edit: i know its a long post, but i suggest tht you kae read it all, so tht you can straighten up the mis-information
