Is it possible to add IPC to included Windower addons?

For example: autocontrol only shows maneuvers for the player's pup. It would be nice to see maneuvers for your alts as well.

Same goes for timers. I'd love to see timers display for my other alts on my main screen.

IPC allows add-ons across processes to communicate with each other. What you're asking for is possible although the add-on needs to be designed to utilize IPC in the first place. Is not that something you can just 'turn on.'

I said add, not turn on. I can customize the add-ons myself, but that doesn't help everyone else.

Windower addons are the only thing that use IPC. (ex. the Send addon)

How about adding ipc features, Byrth? It would really help out us multi-boxers seeing everything on one instance instead of switching instances. Especially now with that micro freezing when switching instances using programs like AHK. :-D

I have no intention of doing it for you.

Additionally, I will warn that IPC is responsible for the only crash to desktop that I experience at the moment (when I use it heavily.)

Yeah, I've noticed that when you send too many ipc messages it stops sending.

Would you do it for a Klondike bar?
