Set custom auto-away messages and timeout in iChat
Authored by: cougar718 on Mar 07, '06 10:48:33AM

Let me get this straight, there is no way to set the value of these 'features' using iChat's interface? Why? I for one did not know about this and my iChat never automatically sets me as being away if I leave it idle. Grrr!

Hell my iChat's plist did not even have those variables. Had to manually add them using the defaults write command. Hmm, makes me wonder what else iChat has but does not document.

There are lot's of undocumented settings in all Apple Applications.
Programs like Chax, Pith Helmet and iDVD Companion are necessary for Powerusers to access features which may confuse novice users.
