O.P. Emoticon library editing
First of all hi everybody: that's my very first post in here (H)

Now, let's get straight to the point.
I have quite a number of custom emoticons in my library (around 200 right now, but I have another 2000 waiting... :S) - Plus! made it possible to choose them without suffering too much, and the adders can do the hard work of adding them for me. But... still, it's not enough.

What I'm looking for:
  • A fast way to add the Emoticons (okay, that's easy)
  • A way to EDIT them once they've been created (the built in editor sucks)
  • A way to rearrange them... it's nice to have all the WTF near, for instance.
  • A way to import/export them in group/mass (for backup/passing to friends...)
...etc etc. Since I think there in no such tool around, I think I can begin working on it.

Now the questions:
1) Is it technically feasible?
2) Is there decent documentation about the emoticon library (yes, I'm lazy, I don't want to check it right now...)?
3) Do you personally think it would be useful?
4) Any other features?

You might be able to create your own sound pack and import them

I dunno how 'your' plugin would be any different then the build in msn messenger editor though...

You can usse the up a down arrows in the emoticon configuration panel. Again, the plugin would work just the same...

That is however "new". Although this can already be done by some costum emoticons adders which already exist...

What emoticon library? There is no such things as an emoticon library. Every emoticon is stored seperaty.

If you mean the cache file which holds the info like shortcuts and stuff. Then that file is encrypted and it is very hard to edit it. Many people have tried, and failed...

Yes and no. It would only be yet another addon/program/whatever which makes an attempt and/or can be added to the list of other similar addons...

You might want to check out the emoticons adders and related stuff on the download section of http://www.mess.be/. Also some threads on http://www.msnfanatic.com/ are about the custom emoticons (eg: here). And on this forum, start reading here: 'CookieRevised's reply to Where does MSN store it's avatars?' and follow the links given.
