Huh, I guess it's not beta anymore. Just regular MSN 7. Can you please detail me what "doodles" are ? I guess the term used in MSN itself is "MSN Ink". Basically at the bottom of the chat window are two tabs: one labeled 'A' and one labelled with a pen graphic. In the A tab you type and chat as usual - this is default. If you switch to the pen tab, the typing area is replaced with a drawing canvas with minimal options (ink width, eraser and eraser size, etc). One simply uses the left mouse button to draw in this panel and can then send this graphic as the message. It is not a shared whiteboard, just a one shot message with the contents being a simple sketch instead of typed content. As mentioned, Kopete already displays these MSN Ink messages flawlessly, so the ability to send them would be very nice. I will attach a screenshot shortly. Created attachment 11008 [details]

The code to send images like that is already in the MSN plugin. but there is two problem. 1) one need something (a plugin) to draw such as picture. 2) picture need to be saved in a strange .gif format I've read that this is now implemented in the current svn of kopete. I will mark it resolved for now. |
