O.P. What features are missing in Plus! Live?
Well the good news is that the features that are missing (which will be put in a later release/update) are unnoticable to be.

The bad news is they are to some. Could someone list the features currently missing and "Coming soon..." to Messenger Plus! Live ?

Got one already: Quick Icons (Pressing "(" brings down a menu and show all the icons) is missing.

I created this list yesterday while I was testing and comparing it to 3.62 that ran in a VM. I don't have a real purpose for this list. I know Patchou is still working on adding various of these features to MP!L. And some old features may not come back at all (either because they became useless or because of other reasons).

Please do not post in this thread like "I want the X feature back", "Will X feature be back?" or "I used to like X feature a lot".... I posted this list only for reference. If you find another thing that was in 3.6x but you couldn't find it back in this list or the current MP!L features you can post a reply.



*** PARITALLY INERGRATED ***
** Features that don't have all the things that it had in 3.6x (yet). This doesn't have to mean these features are incomplete... Some things that are missing have become useless in WLM. I don't expect all these things will come back.
- Contact List Clean-Up
  * Missing "View Profile" button
  * Missing "Send e-mail" button
- Contact on Desktop
  * Rightclick on nick > Messenger Plus! extras > Display on Desktop... doesn't let you choose location like old version did
  * "Copy E-mail to clipboard" missing
- Boss Protection
  * No more multiple presets
- About box
  * No Hyperlinks or buttons (obviously just not finished yet :p)
- Contactlist Plus! menu
  * "Online Help" button (in Plus! menu on contactlist)
- Contactlist Quickmenu
  * Missing "Show the Event Log Window"
  * Missing "Open the Sound Library"
- Conversation Window Plus! Menu
  * Missing "Disable Personalised Status"
- Tabbed Chats
  * Missing "Auto-activate chat windows with unread messages"
  * Group/Ungroup keys don't work (F7 and F8 if I recall correct)
- Personalised Status
  * Auto-responder message formatting
  * Shorten my name when I use a status tag
  * status presets keyboard shortcuts
  * other status then away or busy in presets
- /ping
  * "Respond to ping? requests" on/off
- Quick Texts
  * Missing "shortcut sends the text"
- Word Filtering - ??? Replace by new style quick texts ??????
  * Not able to filter messages you receive
  * Not able to filter contact names


*** MISSING FEATURES ***
** Features I didn't have seen come back in MP!L at all (yet). I know that doesn't mean the won't come back in MP!L at all (v4.00 or v4.10, or maybe even later.
- Task Scheduler
- Enable/Disable "Allow Plus! to send anonymous stats..."
- Automatically change status after period of inactivity
- Contact List Docking
- Truncate Nicknames
- /clear
- Quick Icons
- Triggers (File Sharing)


*** FEATURES THAT MIGHT/WILL NOT COME BACK ***
** These are features that won't come back at all. That means not in 4.00, not in 4.10 and not later. The are probably more features than is listed below that won't come back, but I only put those on the list that are 100% confirmed by Patchou. If you know another features that wn't come back and Patchou confirmed this, please reply to this topic so I can update the list. Link to the topic where Patcou confirms if you can.
- Plugins (completely replaced by scripts)
- Comeback Messages (became useless because you can now use offline messaging)
- Custom Names (WLM has it's own rename, altough it's less features)

This was from one of the beta builds. There weren't any new features added at that point so it should be up to date. You dont see this information because it was posted in our Beta Testing forum.

There will be no "Task Scheduler" with MP!L ? i really loved it and used it a lot..... change status on specific hours, notify on specific hours...
can it be made with scripts?

maybe the anonymous status showed that it was not used much, and that's why you removed it...

The ability to set notifications on groups (instead of individual users) has gone too. This was a really handy feature.

I have a sugesstion : I might be good to add a feature to block chosen smileys. Sometimes, peoples uses annoying smileys to remplace letters, and what they say can't be read anymore.

The probleme is if I disable smileys in messenger, i won't see them from other contacts...

"Rightclick > Block This smileys " would be great ;)


More over, a "signout" button near plus! logo in the contact list might be cool to.
