Screenshot Sender 5 coming soon?

Screenshot Sender is probably the most advanced script for Messenger Plus! Live (heck it is the best coded script), feature rich, great design and easy to use. Still, development has seemed slow, and I couldn't picture an update soon. Well today I received an anonymous email today suggesting work has started again.

The email contained a screenshot of the new about window, although people could easily fake this, they seemed confident that this was real and Screenshot Sender 5 is being coded.

Although I'm not too sure if it is true, I thought it was worth a quick post, even if it was to remind you about this great script for Messenger Plus! Live.

Two weeks/ 5 posts ago (dam news is slow!) I posted about the upcoming Screenshot Sender 4. Well a public beta has been released and wow, it's something else.

The program is, to sum up, fantastic, it's clean, works great and has some amazing features. If you use or have used Screenshot Sender in the past you would of knew that parts were buggy. Well that seems to of been stamped out, I can save and even upload screenshots without hassle. I can't say much more than try it, it has got to be the most professional script for Messenger Plus! Live so far.

Exclusive: Screenshot Sender 4 development

Well news has been slow in the messenger world for the past week or so. I need something to post about, keep you interested and what better than an ongoing project for Windows Live Messenger, Screenshot Sender 4.

Some of you may of heard of Screenshot Sender, most likely version 3 by Dempsey. It was probably the second most popular plugin for Messenger Plus! for a few years now, due to its vast amount of useful features. The program enabled you to take print screens of your messenger windows, desktop or even someone's webcam from a touch of a button and send the screenshot to your contact or save it to a directory of your choice. It was very helpful and easy to use, I simply loved it.

Over time Matty joined the project and started work on a new update to the plugin. It was going well, I mean really well, new features, better code, the works. Then Messenger Plus! Live scripts were introduced and because he and Dempsey were beta testers, they started working on Screenshot Sender 4, in a form of a script. Matty is probably the main coder of the project at the moment, Dempsey is far too busy with other things, however progress on the project is still improving ...

Screenshot Sender 4 will be entirely coded in Jscript, to show how powerful Plus! scripting can be. It maybe harder and take longer, but the end result will be great. I asked Matty a few questions about the project and he told me some interesting stuff:

For the first release there wont be much as it takes awhile to re-code a project, as you have previously seen from Messenger Plus! Live. However eventually most of the features will be added back at one point or another.

For now the ones I/we will work most on are Capturing of active windows, full screen, uploading screenshots once they have been saved, using hotkeys to capture windows and send them to all available contacts (that are online), selecting from contacts in a conversation to send the screenshot too.

I then asked a few more questions, which were some simple answers, I have mentioned those points in the post already. Finally I asked about if there was going to be a public beta:

Release dates and betas have yet to be discussed we don't want to get too ahead of ourselves. But as previously done with prior versions which have been released to the public we just may. Also I am going to probably add a custom updater never before seen in Plus! Scripts, I hope peoples reaction to it is a good one, lets say every file has the potential of being updated without having to re-download an entire Plus! Script Pack.
