If you mean MSN/Windows Live nudges then nope sorry:
Ticket #767
Priority: low
Milestone: Waiting on libgaim

As that post suggested it is libgaim 's problem not Adium.

Sorry i know this is not a gaim or libgaim forum but i suppose some adium developer also work on libgaim?

On Gaim feature / changelog page it state that 2.0 of Gaim support sending and receiving nudge.

MSN Features:
* Custom smiley receiving support (Irving Cordova & Francesco Fracassi)
* Added support for sending (with the /nudge command) and receiving
"nudges" (Julien Cegarra, Martin Bayard)
* Added an account action to open your Hotmail inbox from MSN

And also the ticket here from libgaim tracker
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=300235
Confirm that a patch has been submited.

So i am wondering what are the technical limitation for Adium not supporting Nudge?

Does this not work for you in Adium 1.0 already?

i had no idea you guys had implemented this.

just tried using "/nudge" to no effect, is that the correct method to send them? and how is a nudge displayed on adium when it it received?

As far as i could tell. Sending Nudge with "/nudge" seems to be working like PC's MSN with a 30sec timer ( i think ).

I think the problem is that Adium doesn't have any reaction to nudge.

If i send a nudge i dont expect the window will shake like PC version. But a notice in conversation window saying Someone has request your attention ( aMSN style ) or Someone has just send you a Nudge ( PC WLM Style ) would be much more helpful.

On MSN Mac version doesn't support nudge. Sending a nudge from aMSN or MSN on PC would result in a notice saying this client doesn't support this function.

However sending a nudge from Adium would not have this notice.

So in a way. Yes.. it is working... but partially.

IMO this could be added as an event

Yes it should. A just before it go on to implement

You can look at how Yahoo messenger handle Buzz ( aka Nudge in MSN ). They have a Dark notification at your top right hand corner and a sound as well as a dock icon action. Very nice

when someone sends me a nudge I got this:

Gon (O) [? (gøn) dø] just sent you a Nudge!

and when I send a nudge with /nudge:

You have just sent a Nudge!

I´m using adium 1.0b16

Yeah, IIRC there was a change in b16 to show receiving and sending of nudges in the chat window similar to how status changes are shown.
