No and no.

I don't like it. That's why I said "no".

Is there really some posts that affected you to make up your mind and do something at the plugin?
show me.

About 80% of the features are based onto feature requests from users. Need to know more?

Request something which actually makes sense and it might be implemented. But for now, you only request things based on your *personal preferences* or things you want to see implemented because you got used to them by using another software (Gaim in that case) - nothing spectacular, nothing which actually improves overall quality or usability.

For example, you want to make me change the hotkey for a feature which already exists only because you don't like the hotkey. Doesn't make sense, imho. Same for double clicking a tab to show the contact list - for what? Only because a webbrowser (completely UNrelated to a instant messenger btw.) does something similar? And what has the contact list to do with the message window, not to say that there are 100 better ways to do that in Miranda.

Sorry, but these requests make me shake my head.

Honstly. You don't seem to understand what usability is.

And you have no idea what you are talking about someone you don't know. If that's your opinion, stop wasting my and, more importantly, your own time and move on.

To me, it seems you are simply frustrated, because I deny implementing your own personal preferences into my plugin and don't like to make it work like some other piece of software you are used to. Arguing about such matter is ridiculous, because none of your arguments have anything to do with improved usability.

When it comes to arguing you seem to be the queen of eloquence.

You seem failing to realize, that this is:

1) my project
2) my time
3) my way of doing things.

So whatever I do, say or not want to do or like - the final decision is my own, because I'am actually the person who would need to waste time to implement features which I don't like or need.

Read the GPL and think about the "This software is provided as is.." statement.

You don't have to agree with me in all these points, but then - don't use this software? So hard to understand?

My idea (emphasizing idea!!) is just to make it similar to the firefox feature.

And I don't like it. I don't even like (and ever use it) in firefox aswell. I use the hotkey to create an empty window. Creating an *empty* message window is completely pointless and showing the contact list is unintuitive. There are better solutions, like I already said. tabSRMM has a favorite feature which allows you to quickly open a message window for your favorite contacts and there is a plugin which even allows you to open a msg window for specific contacts with a single (global) hotkey.

Telling me that none of my ideas has anything to do with improved usability is a slap in face. Its my profession. At least a part of it. You don't know me as well.

I'am not the one who started to argue and I'am not the one who started to insult. Go figure.

Yes and Its your board, that invites me as a user to post ideas for improvements. So is it all just about getting ideas for things that you'd like?!

Nope. Because if that would be the case, tabSRMM wouldn't even have things like avatars or skinning (features I don't need in a chat window, for example). And I guess, a lot of other features would be missing aswell.

I think there are already a lot of functions that even you never use! What doesn't mean its cool to implement more of those

1. Because I see no valid improvements in these things - already explained why.
2. Because people are used to the way it works now. If I change it, you may like it more but others will complain why I changed it, because they don't like the new functionality. Which implies, that I will have to add more options to make the behaviour customizable. Now, I think that these things are not important enough to add code and even more settings (there really are already enough).
