Shoutbox

It's very strange why in some scripts is used contacts email instead nick. In WLM contact list we recognize our friends by nick, not by email...

Contacts can have the same nickname not the same email. End of story.

matty how about to show a part of the nick and when you hover the contact shows you a tooltip with the email into??? maybe you can make an option into the sendto config where the user can check the way the contacs are showed in... and you will do all sendto script users happy... jajajaja... I am happy like the way is now... this is only and idea for solve the problem to that users...

Nicknames we can change to whatever we like, but not emails...
Some people have very difficult emails, so it's impossible to remember >100 strange emails...

People keep forgetting this is simply a shortcut and cannot have a tooltip atleast not in vista. Don't know about Windows XP not running in the OS and dont feel like restarting.

yes... you got the point... can I ask you what improvements are you thinking to do for next releases???

You are confusing nicknames with screen names. You can not change screen names, and as Matty said, different people can have the same screen name. Not to mention screen names say just as much (little) as emails do to identify somebody these days (with all those crappy long names).

Also, screen names can contain a lot of characters which aren't valid for showing in such a menu as the sendto menu. And they can contain emoticons, which is also impossible to show.

And nick names, the names you can set to contacts yourself, can not be retrieved by scripts.

Emails are the only unique and showable string you can add in the file context menus.

PS: scripts which only use screen names to identify somebody in a list, have the big potential to select the wrong user. And it is those scripts which should be changed (to also show the email for example)

I just haven't updated the script on the forum but the one included in the Plus! installer is 2.3 which disables listing your contacts because in Vista folders in the Send To menu are not supported.
