Second Life Friends Online Windows App ready for testing

I have created an application that sits in the system tray and has pop-up notifications when friends log on or off. It's in an Alpha state so testing is at your own risk

IM me if you would like to test it out for me.



Thanks.

Beta version 0.9.0.5 is now available. See this thread for more info.

trying this, had to switch IE to browser, but once that done all fine...except..

When i right click icon, setting, and then check run at start, get a "Unhandled exception has occured"...then it closes down and run at start is not select..

But I like it, thanks

That seems pretty cool! it would be even more coolio if you could message your friends!

Michael, if it gives an option for more details on the exception see if you can copy the text and send it to me, if you don't mind.

I'm trying to figure out how to do this.

All fixed, I just rebooted and it went away

PS Side question, does this read from the IE cache, or does it "see" our passwords?

Hi Josie, Just started using the Friends Online App, and think i will love it.
Two suggestions:
1. Can we have a less bulky banner around the list, i like my windows slim.
2. The ability to resize the window, width and height, would be great.

Keep up the good work.

It just uses the existing secondlife.com IE cookie, which is encoded, so it doesn't see your password.


I actually have (almost) working code for resizing so look for it in the next version. And yes I can look at making the window banner a bit thinner.

The current version has some code that is supposed to prevent it from getting focus when the popups occur but it doesn't seem to be working, so that is on the list too.

Just installed - very cool, Josie!!

The one thing I would request, though, is that when an "X is online" alert pops up, it does NOT take focus. In other words, I'm in the middle of typing or mousing. An alert pops up and steals focus, interrupting my typing or mousing.

Otherwise, this really rocks! Great job.

I know that bugs me too There is actually a piece of code in there now that is supposed to prevent this, and it seemed to work, but further testing has clearly revealed it is not. I will definitely work on this for the next release.

- Friends list is now vertically resizable
- Detects when SL is running and turns off pop-up notifications
- Tried to improve the popup windows stealing focus from current app. In my testing this seems to be working, but I would love feedback.

You can get it from http://www.josiehamilton.com. Or if you installed it using the web installer you can right-click the application icon in the system tray and slect "Check for Updates..."

Someone create this to work with Firefox!
