Hm, there is a plugin 'ncn' from NoName which does the same thing. Plugins are getting more and more confusing.

[pro100_tak]

yep, i'm using ncn for a long time.. could someone post here what the difference between them..

[pescuma]

I dont know. This version add an entry to the contact history when a contact change his nickname. Point.

[DarkPhoenix]

ncn crashes when you change contact's nickname to something and then delete it using infoex. IMO it's not so small flaw + it logs into own entry of database, and i prefer logging to hpp...
I'll test plug today :)

[DarkPhoenix]

Do you plan to add popup notification?
I lacked of logging to history in ncn (and there was bug), here i lack of popup notification...

[Branstrom]

Yeah, that's wanted... for example, I replaced NewAvatarNotify with AvatarHistory because NAN lacked logging, AvatarHistory has popups also... It's nice to have the option.

I think we should also have options to disable either logging or popups, not just popups, in every plugin that handles this kind of things. So that we only have one plugin for both logging + notification of the same kind of events.

[pescuma]

I intend to add those when nullbie releases his notification plugin... But i think this will take a while...
