O.P. Custom Contact Display Picture & Nickname Fix
a request for the scripters out there:..

first of all, thanks for the one(s) who will take the time.

I wish I could change the Display Picture of my contacts so that I'll remember more who they are, maybe a picture of their faces, just like we change the nickname, maybe clicking on it, and the click goes to the "Change Display Picture" window, and we select a picture, but instead of applying it to our Display Picture, that it will apply to my contact Display Picture.

One thing I miss from the old Messenger Plus!. the fact that you applied a nickname to a message that the contacts used, but you didn't replace it, (better give an example):
your contact has 2 rows in wich to write whatever they want, they can write it like this:

the brave pirate
ahoy! I am traveling the sea!

when old Messenger Plus! used the function to nickname a contact it went like this

Jhon - the brave pirate
ahoy! I am traveling the sea!

and if the contacts changed the message of their first row:

The Conqueror
ahoy! I am traveling the sea!

Messenger Plus! used to display it like this:

John - The Conqueror
ahoy! I am traveling the sea!

I hope I explained well. the trick would be to modify the instruction of Replace the text, for the instruction to use the nickname text, but add a line after it, and the first row of the contact's text.

as for asigning pictures to a contac im not sure it can be done. but the easisest way could be having a diff backgroun on the vconversation window (like their picture) then once u open the conversation u know who they are.

About the "add the original name after the custom nickname" thing, Patchou has said some time ago (read: about one year ago) that he'd wait and see if Microsoft was going to extend/improve their "quick name" feature. If they wouldn't do it, he'd try to re-implement his custom nickname feature... although, he nor Microsoft has done anything. :P
