Build 31 – MSN Conversation Fixes

We just pushed an update (Build 31, r15078 r15142) that fixes the last of the known bugs with MSN conversations along with a few other bug fixes and enhancements. As always, you can read the entire list of new features, bug fixes, and enhancements on our Change Log. Thank you for all the feedback and enjoy the new build. As always, if you have any issues please email bugs@digsby.com.

Update: We pushed a small fix for Facebook Chat.  A change in the protocol resulted in Digsby disconnecting/reconnecting every 10 minutes.  This will no longer happen.

    Make it so that I can copy paste from my IM history into a different doc.
  • Tariq Rahman

    Hi,
    just wanted to say that Digsby is all nice and all, but not having avatars is really bad. Going back to Pidgin until you put avatars in.

    Keep up the good work !
  • Interesting site you have here. And it would be nice to see what you to say about digsby. Most experts on this subject have an annoying have of taking a simple concept and twisting and turning around it until it sounds hellishly complex.

    i cant seem to get my MSN account to connect.help.
    thanks.
  • Nawawi
    Hmm..I was using build 15142 but still my MSN account cannot get connected using Digsby in my office network...doesnt seem to be a problem for yahoo or ICQ though...anyone with good suggestion?
  • Sultan
    Its fine. lets fix the conversation through yahoo messenger as well
  • lots of bitching and moaning here, it seems.

    i just wanted to send you some love for a great product! loving the frequent updates, you guys are really dedicated! way to go!
  • MSN mail notification has a little problem. When I get notified about a mail and click on Delete/Spam or anything else it makes the mail as read. It doesn't delete the mail.
  • Praveen
    I have submitted by diagnostic logs.

    Thanks for your support. You guys are doing a great job... I love digspy.
  • @Praveen - No other reports of this. It may have been a temporary server-side quirk or your proxy sever blocking Yahoo.com. If it persists, use Help > Send Bug Report to submit a diagnostic log.
  • Praveen
    Hi ,

    With this version, i am unable to connect to yahoo mail (with a proxy). However with direct connection it works perfectly fine.
  • @Vin - We remove duplicates if they are in the same group on both accounts. If they are in one group on Account A but in another group on Account B then both will show. When you double click on the contact there are To/From dropdowns which let you choose which account to message them from and Digsby will remember your choice to pre-select it next time.
  • Vin
    not sure if this is already implemented but heres a suggestion:

    If I have two AIM accounts, i would add them both to Digsby. If I have a friend on both AIM accounts, will Digsby remove the duplicate or will i see the friend appear twice?

    might be convenient but then the issue of 'which IM is sending to the friend' arises. maybe allow the user to set a 'default' IM name to use when sending to users on multiple lists.

    just a thought

    -=Vin
  • Neeeed http suppooooorttlololwwawnlomg. haha. Good job though on the continued updates.
  • @calvin - Many IM clients don't have a send button now and especially with the minimalist interface we are going for I'm not sure where it would fit. Can you have a small on screen keyboard so you can press the enter key? What if the right click menu of the input box had "Send" in it?

    @Catalin - Not sure what you mean. Email bugs@digsby.com with a description and we will take a look.
  • calvin
    how bout an addition of a “send” button. I have a tablet pc and handwriting input is enabled but if i’m in tablet mode, I can’t actually use digsby cuz there’s no button for input on the actual messenger. That’s the only reason I still have aim installed on my computer…

    Give me the final push to uninstall the crap that is AIM off my machine Digsby!
  • Steve.. Today I can log in from my Office PC .. omg.. Anyway not yet did the test the MSN protocol testing.. too bz with work .. but will do later and give you a response about the MSN testing..
  • Catalin
    Hey guys...all was good since the last update. Now my accounts on Yahoo are grey and i cannot connect to them, either remove/delete. And if i push connect nothing happens. Its like they are locked.
  • eDRoaCH
    Hey I was just surfing all the different twitter apps @
    http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps and Digsby isnt on it!!

    Someone needs to be killed I think. :) I love twitter in Digsby. I do kinda wish there was a way to 'pop out' the box though (For email too) not only would it stop my jerky mouse hand from missing the scollbar and starting over, but should make it easier to copy-paste/click on urls
  • Mike NZ
    Thanks - looks good here :-) Keep up the good work and short release cycles.
  • lance
    great work! last thing needed it seeing custom msn emoticons. (I know it's on the do to list and I have voted) Keep it up!
  • @Gerard - We will add a big list of advanced preferences in the future similar to Firefox's about:config page. It will be one of them. However, in the meantime, if you mouse over a popup that keeps it from disappearing.
  • Gerard Sychay
    Loving Digsby! Good job people.

    Still waiting for the ability to set the display time of popup notifications. These are mainly useless to me, as they apparently are set to 2 seconds at the moment, which is only enough time to notice it, and not read it. So I'm forced to open up digsby and hunt for what the notificdation was for.
  • Geno
    You guys are great! keep it up!
    (another feature that would be good is mySpace instant messenger implemented)
  • @new user - we will do this in the future

    @MidnightUT - It is a parsing error on bad data - we have a ticket in to fix this and will get it out within 1-2 builds.

    @FoxTwo - It may have been a server-side quirk or a network issue that was temporary. If it continues please submit a bug report.

    @Thrik - We did forget to put that into the changelog :)

    @Chris - Change the privacy setting to only allow messages from those on your buddy list (Preferences > Privacy).

    @TheBeed + Luki - emailed you to get diagnostic logs so we can figure out what happened
  • new user
    Suggestion: Allow us to copy and paste an IM conversation directly from the IM window.

    It seems that because of the styling of the boxes within the conversation, we're unable to properly copy and paste the convo.

    At this point I need to open up the chat history, then copy and paste.

    Can you allow this directly from the chat window? Maybe strip out the formatting/styling/boxes when I highlight text?
  • Monroe
    @Anwar - I'm using the official MSN client - I can't switch to digsby yet, as they don't have multi-person conferences implemented :( - and it drops it's connection all the time. It's definately an MSN problem. We've been using MSN at my work for about 2 years now, and it's done that ever since we started using it. So it's definately an msn problem and not a Digsby problem.
  • MidnightUT
    Looks good guys, but I've got some bad news. Jabber (Openfire server) continues to immediately disconnect me after loading up the list of current online users. After last week's build 30 I was able to connect all day on Friday and there was much rejoicing. Unfortunately though I haven't been able to connect this week again.

    Another vcard issue or something else? Let me know if I can help supply logs or anything.
  • Well seems like the MSN bugs aren't squashed yet.. I still get people telling me they get bounced messages when they try to talk to me.
  • Thrik
    Hey, just wanted to thank you for fixing the Invisibility + FB Chat bug.

    This isn't a big deal, but I saw that it's not listed in your changelog. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but just wanted to remind you (if you guys care about keeping minute details like that).

    Cheerio!
  • tim
    Any update on when 'Sent message to entire group' will be added?
  • TheBeef
    Same problem as Luki:
    Again autoupdate is not working.

    Updater setup is launching and it throws error:

    Critical error in backing up files. Click OK to revert.

    Cannot find file.
    *****************
    Is the ability to upload your own avatar or pic also in the works? That would be great.
  • Chris
    Is there a way to block the IM spam? Pidgin / Trillian had plug-ins that blocked Yahoo IM spam. I've only gotten a couple but they're still annoying.
  • Wally
    @asdasdasd - Just start typing a nickname or username

    Ok thats great, but it doesnt filter out like MSN/Pidgin does, i want to be able to see offline users too when i seach contacts (so i can take advantage of the included email features)

    Just think, if i can IM you, why send you an email? most probably ill want to send an email to one of my offline contacts. Showing them all is a no-no, but filtering via search is a much welcomed feature.

    Regards!
  • Hi Steve,

    Today morning I logged in from my office and digsby did a update about 600-700KB .. after that I'm keep getting "Connection Lost" and after trying few times the login window disappear but i can see the digsby.exe running on the task manager but no window is visible.. plus it is not taking any cpu resources..

    Guys any idea ?? It was working yesterday when i left office..
    Windows version is "Windows XP build 2600.xp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254: service pack 2"

    Just for info .. MSN, googletalk, yahoo messengers can login by themselves.

    As I LOVE to see the MSN protocol issue fixed.. I should be able to run Digsby first..:)
  • shaver
    when are they going to fix the Facebook Chat logs? They need to fix them to make them display the persons name, not a bunch of random numbers.
  • @Sinestro - both are on the to-do list

    @phillip - We will add more protocols in the future

    @asdasdasd - Just start typing a nickname or username
  • Sinestro
    Please add a hyperlink button and the ability to selectively italicize/underline individual words.
  • phillip
    Sametime plugin?

    Bueller?

    :(
  • asdasdasd
    ADD A BUDDYLIST SEARCH IN THE CONTACT LIST
  • Nico
    Auto-Update works fine for me, but couldn't test MSN update because I don't have many MSN contacts (I'm using ICQ mainly).

    I am using Digsby since the last two Builds now and I like it so far. Keep up that good work and please keep listening to suggestions from users to make Digsby even better!
  • Manuel
    @Steve- Great, hope to see it working soon.
  • The biggest problem I have wit MSN is the same problem I had with it on trillian, an that is keeping the thing logged in. I'm starting to believe that the problems multi IM providers are having with MSN is more of an MSN problem than the all-in-one IM provider's problem.
  • No issues to report so far with this update.
  • I should also mention that I did not get notified of any update before hand, unless you sent out an update as I restarted... which is entirely possible.
  • Great Job once again, keep up the awesome work.
  • @Manuel - the bug where some users don't see you online is not messaging related but we are actually looking at that one right now.
  • Martyj
    Hey,

    msn has worked fine for me on earlier builds but great to see the new build coming out, works fine here.

    Although i will say i did not get a message saying "we have jut pushed a new update" while i was running my older virsion, although it did apear once the program updated after a retart, is this a bug?
  • Manuel
    Hey:

    I was one of the guys with some MSN issues (some users were seeing me online, could not message me...) I tested it and still have the same issues. Same users don't see me online.

    Hope soon the MSN Protocol is updated.
  • Roly
    omfg
  • lets hope the msn bugs are sorted,, good work guys,,, just testin it all now
  • sda
    When are the performance fixes?!
  • Luki
    Again autoupdate is not working.

    Updater setup is launching and it throws error:
