A request implemented

an user asked to allow custom group sorting, another asked to sort the users by log size, so i implemented a new feature on the contact list that allows to provide "weights" to the users and groups to override the default order, if an user has more "weight" than another group, then it will be above the other, the same works for contacts, so you can change the weights by hand or use a plugin to calculate the weights for you.

a screenshot showing the feature is here:

as you can see, the group Otros is over the top and then comes emesene, the common order should be Amigos, (other groups..), Otros, (other groups..), emesene. also Roger is on the top of the group, and then comes dx, is easy to see there since they should be ordered first by status and then by display name.

This feature can be used to "sink" users you don't want to see assigning negative values ;)

take into account that I only implemented the feature on the contact list and the store/load from the config, no gui available (yet) to modify the weights.
I will implement it in some days I guess, right now I'm advancing on a personal project (I hope you hear about it in the next months ;)

This is cool! I would like to request one feature, I would at least find very useful. I want to allow custom statuses for people. I do not know if it's understandable, but take this (this is really what I want):

1) I do not care when 99% of the people login
2) I do care when 1% of the people login

So I would want to have a plugin/feature that allows me to select "When these users logs on: notify me" or "When these users start a conversation with me: play a sound". I would be very happy if somebody implemented such a feature in my favorite msn client.

an hint to make configuration window:
Since some user doesn't Unix 'cause there isn't a good MSN client for this OS it would be cool to design emesene's preferences window similar to WLM's preferences dialog...
i.e. in WLM 2009 there's a "layout" tab that allows you to configure main window layout and conversation window layout (like in emesene 1.x)
so the hint is:
"Tabs" (List) on the left side and relative options on the right side (panel with checkbox).it could be useful to configure PLUGINS too...

P.S.
I'm appreciating your work for the community:
aMSN2's project is still stuck...emesene's project is revealing "itself" as more concrete.
I think that all aMSN0.xx should move to aMSN2 project in order to make the cool client that they planned for public...
But that's my idea,they can still go on fixing amsn 0.98, i'm sure that they knows what to do for the good of all!

I was trying emesene2 revision 1560 and I found out that once I've got the contact list if one contact is connected or disconnected the numbers that say the contacts in each member don't work good. They give me the double. I,E

ajjaja que buena idea!!! no dudo que Emesene superara a windows live messenger...

por cierto, hago un breve comentario...

la nueva version se instala de esas "tipicas" formas que odio...

te bajas un instalador que no pensa mas 1MB y se va descargando todo a medida que se va instalando bla bla bla... no me da seguridad

lo mas raro es que me instala: net framework, y otras cosas que JAMAS crei que necesitaria un simple cliente de mensajeria instantanea...

¿?


saluditos! muy lindo todo!







PD: vi en el post anterior que solamente donaron 10 (dolares o pesos) jaja que poco! promero que a fin de mes te dono algo :P aunque sea una silla ergonomica para pasarse horas programando jejeje

Do you know when the webcam support will be avaible ?
Thats why im still on Windows+Live Messenger. Emesene is the only good msn client on linux in my eyes, and im really waiting for this feature.

Thank you for you really good job, and excuse me for bad my english (im french).

Hello!
I have a suggestion: are you planning on implementing a feature that lets you log in on different accounts all at once? (Like in Pidgin). This would come in really handy for quite some people.

By the way, props on the best chat client around!
