but we are the only that have this problem? only the italian user? :S

Hello,
also I'm an italian user and have the same problem.
I've looked at the source code of the plugin and it seems that the problem is due to the "space" character in the name of the smiley category. For the italian users the default category of new smiley is "Altre Impostazioni" so this problem appears immediately.
The easy way to fix this problem is to manually edit the config file "config.xml" (usually located in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\[PC_usrename]\amsn\[aMSN_username]") and change the category of each smiley.
Moerover I've edited the code to permanently fix the problem, but this is not the right way to proceed becuse I don't know very well the code and I'm not sure to had fixed any problem. The best way is that the creator of the plugin will release a new version with the necessary modifications.

Hi IlNidoDelChiurlo,
Maybe you could post the diff here so that your changes can be reviewed, fixed if necessary and merged into the next version, that will help the plugin author fix the problem faster (or we could do it if he's not around...)

This is the complete plugin code (with my modification) but I don't think that they are enought avoid problems with categories names containg spaces.
