Hello
I find that a bit annoying that msn messenger plus writes in the log files only when u close the window cause because of that, when the program or the pc crashes, u cant read ur conversation
Is tehre a way to avoid that?
Or did patchou plan to change that?
Thanks

Cant help you with that, Sorry.

I'm just going to point out that its Messenger Plus! (or, MsgPlus!) not MSN+

why post if you can't help?

also, plus! logs when you close window/at specific intervals. if your pc crashes msgplus won't log, because the window isn't actually "closed"

This may help, Main Messenger Window > Plus! > Preferences > Logging > Archiveing and you'll see near the left bottom corner a Automatic save delay that you can change the time of...you could make it lower if your PC is prone to crashing....
Apart from that there's no way to make Plus! log when your PC crashes because when a PC crashes the Plus! process usually stops or locks up along with virtually every other process...

Thanks a lot Anubis that should be ok i put it @ 1 minute

Assuming for a moment, that Patchou wished to code the program similar to Microsoft Word, which if the comp crashes, writes the unsaved material to your pagefile for later recovery....I think it would be a waste of time.  Even MS Word's recovery file is tainted with corrupt information, which is dependent completely on how/why the computer crashed.

If your computer is crashing alot, I am sure the guru's here would be happy to help you figure out your issue.

It's faster to save logs on ending of the chatting session and/or at a set time rather than saving it each time someone sends a message.

Why is it faster?
Many programs save logs when a new line comes

because if someone floods you you crash

Saving logs at a regular interval takes less resources and allows proper logging when you're talking with the same person in multiple chats. If you set the auto-save value to 1 minute, it will be almost the same and it should solve your problem .
