RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Progress > auto accept files..
Mirc has add this feature for a long time and many security issues have come up but they've also been solved.

Firstly Mirc gives you three options on Send requests:

Show get dialog
Auto-get file and [] (< tickbox) minimize (send window)
  If file exists:
    Ask, Resume, Overwrite, Cancel [Trusted] (< button)
Ignore all

The trusted button shows a small dialog with the follow:

[] Limit auto-get to trusted users
[] Sow get dialog for non-trusted users.

You can enter a wildcard address below in the form of nick!user@host.

If you do not enter a full address, your entry is treated as a user level.

Than it shows a list box and [add] [delete] buttons.


I'm not suggesting you copy what is shown in mirc, of course not. What I am suggesting is that you borrow and utilise some of what others have learnt.

I also read further back that someone suggested that a password be added to increase security. Patchou, you than replied back saying that it would be verbose (or somthing to that effect)
I however strongly disagree with you on this. I personalyl feel that having increased security with passwords (optional) would decrease the possiblity of worms and trojens being spread.

There are programs out there that can easily be downloaded that all require a person to do is send it to the victom and get them to run it.

There could also be the issue of someone using other peoples computers, stolen or a friend of a friend.

There are just too many things that could go wrong, that passwords may only be the best solution. Either, password on 'show get dialog' or a password storage, custom passwords for each nick etc.


ps. theres also an option that users can seperate downloads according to file prefix and nicknames. Some defaults are as such:
*.mp3 - c:\mirc\mp3s
defalt - c:\mirc\download


so if you were to create a list where people could change the default placement of downloads (yes i know messenger already has this. but it helps to have this in the 'get folder list' and have some defaults such as *.mp3s being sent to another folder.


I don't know.
purhaps all this could be added later on in an addon.

Some other suggestion for version 3 I recently thought of:

When somebody adds to to a multi-chat conversation, there's no entry about that in the log files, it would be nice if that could be added. So one can see who added you.

howabout skinable text logs? like you put tags in the place you want them because i would like to play around with the way it is set up.. the word wrap makes it harder to read.

O.P. RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Progress
lol... in case you have not noticed, this is not a suggestion thread :). I appreciate the fact that you want to bring new ideas but I've been working continuously onPlus!3 since january and now, I'm on he final stage so nothing new will be added (maybe some little things but that's all)... I got to release the new version at some point and there's already many many things to use.
