Just tried the beta 8 ... doesn't seem to work though... still msn:// adresses and so on are not recognized ...

Since a day or so I cannot connect to MSN anymore ... always get a error message:

SCREENNAME (MSN): GAIM
Connection error from Notification server (messanger.hotmail.com) Writing Error

Any ideas ?

THANX! You rock! When can we expect .8 to be released ?

this is what it sais in the launchbar 4.0 changelog: The Address Book is now scanned for all types of instant messaging screennames (AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo). They are opened with the default helper application for the "icq", "jabber", "msn" or "yahoo" UR...

ok, solved the URL problem and tested a little more. Launchbar displays the format of the URL just with icq://screenname. Therefore I think that is the format Launchbar uses... Proteus opens both, icq://screenname and icq://goim?screenname=SCREENNAME. Same with msn:// and yahoo://. I would suggest, ...

I could just check with yahoo. Proteus knows yahoo://screenname and yahoo://goim?screenname=NAME. So, I don't know what format Launchbar uses. Unfortunatly I cannont test the others since after playing around with RCDDefault.app I deactivated the urls icq and msn and now they don't come back, when I...

But aim uses aim://goim?screenname=NAME&message=MESSAGE. is it just icq://[ICQ#]? or icq://goim?screenname=[ICQ#]? or something else entirely? Similarly, what's the exact format for msn and yahoo. Let us know and I'll be glad to add support. hmm ... When I try to open it in Launchbar a window p...

I was the guy who suggested to Obdev that LB should be able to open the URLs. I use Proteus. I found out I was able to do it with aim:// msn:// etc. URLs when I wrote a couple of adressbook plug-ins for it. I'm not sure Adium supports this, but I can tell you it is a nice feature for me as I do alm...

if you mean that, the format is icq://[ICQ#] msn://[screenname] yahoo://[screenname]. Basically like the format of aim:// just with another prefix...

I mean aim://screenname. This url appears in RCDdefaultAPP...

Well, though RCDefaultApp seems to be a nice ap, the problem is, that the url's don't seem to be registered within os x by a certain app. This is why they don't appear in RCDefaultApp. I used Proteus before and Proteus somehow knows how to deal with those urls. I don't know what format the URLs are....

Hi there, I am using launchbar. When I open a contacts chat name via launchbar it is interpretated as a url like aol://screenname or icq://... . Adium recognizes aol:// urls and opens the corresponding chat window. The only problem is, that icq://, msn:// and yahoo:// will not be recognized by adium...
