I mean that it is a (very tiny) bug. The app may make you believe that a notification is send on slider OPEN only. But it sends on CLOSE as well.

I assume that "Send SMS Replies on 'Slider Open' ", should only activate after SMSCON receives a known command to the device?

This would only work as expected when smscon deamon was just started. But typically the daemon runs all the time and a known command may already be received a long time ago.

Instead we plan to implement that keyboard slider moves are able to trigger more sophisticated actions than just sending slider move notifications.

So in the case of @nicholes...
'Open Slider' messages can be stopped by sending COM_RESTART or going to Init Tab and Stopping then Restarting SMSCON operation.
Messages will then stop, unless tested or triggered again.

Note:-
COM_RESTART only available > 0.8-1

Why not just disable keyboard notification?

Or disable it, like I did/you suggest.
@nicholes may want it on for a reason?

FOR INFORMATION:

The latest versions of both smscon and editor have been promoted to the extras-testing repository.

Since there are many changes from the previous stable versions some people might have issues with their old configuration settings. We have tried hard to avoid them but for some set-ups this in unavoidable.

There are many ways to solve those problems but the easiest (in my opinion) is to purge the installation of both applications and re-install.
That is, with the following order, open x-term and as root copy/paste the following commands:
Code:
apt-get remove --purge smscon-editor
apt-get remove --purge smscon
Close xterm and install smscon-editor from the Application manager (it will automatically install smscon also).

When the SIM is replaced it is clear that someone is trying to own your device. At this moment some people would like to continue searching for the phone and others would like to stop the new user finding their mails, passwords, account info, photos and all other personal information you might have in the device.
Don't take it as self-advertising, but, i think that ideal solution for this dillema is to use TrueCrypt. Having personal things (passwords, photos, documents, whatever) in protected container or partition, ensures that upon restart (to replace SIM by thief) encrypted container is unmounted (= non-decryptable without entering TrueCrypt password/keyfile). This way - if prepared in secure way by responsible 'legit user' - it's 100% safe to tick "disable lock code on new sim inserted''. We got possibility to communicate with our phone, without risking to compromise private files.
