Hello all,

If your contact sends a message and you close your window right after that, the message will be lost, especially when you have logging disabled (I have). This script is made to prevent losing the message.
If you close a chat window which has just received a message, the script will show a toast with the contact's nick and his last message. If you click the toast, it opens a new conversaton with the contact.

The script uses the following commands:
            /rtAbout                            Display About window
            /rtNickLength <length>         Sets the maximum nickname length in toasts to <length>
            /rtSettings                         Display Settings window
            /rtToastTime <time>            Sets the message reading time in ms to <time>
            /rtOn                                Enables ReadThis Toasts
            /rtOff                                Disables ReadThis Toasts

The maximum nickname length, the reading time and the enable/disable toasts settings can also be adjusted from the "Settings" entry in the ReadThis menu.

Please let me know if you find a bug or have a suggestion.

=================================================

Update (1.23)
fixes a bug which allowed the same window to be opened more than once
added an option to enable/disable the scripts toasts by using the settings window or by command

Update (1.2)
fixes a bug which caused the toast text to be messy in some occasions.

Maybe an option to choose the length of time between getting the message and closing the window before the scrpit gets triggered... Otherwise I like the idea

If you mean

• Message Received
  
• "short time" passes     <= This
  
• Window Closes
  
• Toast is shown (or not, if "short time" is long enough)

then it already is adjustable through the settings dialog (time to read each message) or with /rtToastTime <time in ms>

I didn't know a better description for both the command and the line in the settings window. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

That is what I meant (I obviously don't have the script right now )

Can't think of a name though so I see your problem
