RX-Plugin 1.0.9
Last night I released and update to my RX-Plugin. This new version has a number of fixes, new features, and an all new registration model. You can now download this plugin directly from the plugin’s main page. I have improved the activation mechanism to make it easier to automatically paste this data into the activation dialog. The installer will now direct you to the registration page if you have not activated a copy of this plugin before.
New in this release is the remote control feature that lets you specify any number of screen names that can control your client while you are online. The commands let the remote user send special IM messages to change your away (.rc away) and status (.rc status) messages. You can also let the remote screen name sign you out (.rc signout) of your IM client. These settings will apply to any screen name that is signed in from your Windows login session.
Another new feature, is the new set of /idle commands. You can toggle idle by sending “/idle” in an IM. You can also set yourself as having been idle for a specific number of minutes by adding a number to the end of the /idle command, e.g., “/idle 90″. I have been asked to provide a simple way to toggle the passive idle lock option, this can be done by sending “/idle passive”, or “/idle p” for short. To make it easy to access the idle lock settings, you can open the RX-Plugin settings window in the idle lock tab by sending “/idle settings” or “/idle s” for short. None of these messages will be sent to your buddy so you can enter them in any IM compose field.
The last seen feature has been extended to save the last 10 status messages and last 8 away messages set by all the buddies on your buddy list. Give it a try.
Finally, I have to mention that this plugin runs best on the latest AIM 6.5 Beta, especially the status message features.
Let me know what you think. I appreciate all feedback. Enjoy.

I just downloaded AIM 6.0 and I can NOT figure out how to set my away message to just be in my info. It keeps going on to auto response and I would like to change it…I’m using a Sony PC and would really love to fix that…Please help!!!

Gus, my question is does AIM logger only work with IM chats from your Buddy list? If a person IM you, but you don’t add him to your buddy list, does that mean AIM logger won’t record the IMs….
Alternatively, is there a way that a way to block the AIM logger? Thanks

When I turn on Idle Lock and then IM someone while idle, the Idle Lock turns off. Is this supposed to do this or am I supposed to be allowed to converse while idle?

Roy, you can control that form the RX-Plugin Settings window. Send “.rx” from any IM compose window to open this (or use the actions menu in the buddy list or commands menu in the Plugins tab of the settings window in AIM.)
Go to the Idle Lock tab and un-check the option to automatically deactivate idle lock when you send an IM.

Hey I was wondering if there was a way to make the correction feature apply to a whole word only. I was testing this feature out and wrote “This is a test” Then I tried to change it by writing “s/is/was/” and it came out as “Thwas is a test” instead of “This was a test”

Sam, great idea. Currently you can only add i and g after the last slash to specify if the match is case insensitive and globaly (replaces all occurrences).
I will add a w option to the next release plan to handle your suggestion.

whatever happened to the “sign in as invisible” option?
