New "core" metacontacts.

[Myshor]

I found in alpha versions some new menu item:
Convert to MetaContact
and
Add to Existing...

So I tried new feature implemented in core.
Here is some bug I found just at the beginnig of testing:
http://trac.miranda-ng.org/ticket/623

Paste your Version Info first of all.

if you've found smth new, it doesn't mean you can use it 
that is the main difference between trunk & stable

[Myshor]

I work as a software tester. I see something new... I must test it.

So I think I should wait for official announcment of metacontacts in core.

Meanwhile it works in Clist_modern+TabSRMM.

[Myshor]

Good to know. I think I will stay without metacontact still.

However if it will be corrected I'll test it and share the results.

[watcher]

Scriver is set to work with metacontacts so you can update your Miranda and test it now

[Myshor]

Set to fixed and closed...

All works ok... Thanks for the quick solution.

miranda ng have a list of all plugins, protos, langpacks and icons for easier downloading.
i found icons\proto_metacontacts.dll, is this for the old metacontact plugin or the new one?

[Myshor]

I think it's for the metacontact plugin.

I see that you can set icons for metacontacts in options, but I don't see where they are used.

New one still uses it, we will change it later.

[mida]

thank you for this info
