Hey All,

Is there a GUI/registry setting that I am missing in Messenger Plus! to log seconds as well.

Currently it is just HH:mm. I didn't change anything. This is default settings.
(13:23) McoreD: Hey

I would like it to be logged as
(13:23:38) McoreD: Hey

for example.

Thanks,
McoreD

A registry option exists called ChatLogTimeStampFormat. It's documentation will be made public along with the release of Messenger Plus! 4.10 .

Hi Patchou,

ChatLogXHtmlTimeStamp entry is visible in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\mcored@microsoftusernetwork.com\Preferences but not

ChatLogTimeStampFormat

So I guess it is hidden.

I will wait until 4.10 or much appreciate if you could show me an example with ChatLogTimeStampFormat on how to get HHtt.

Thanks,
McoreD

You need to create it for yourself. Create a new String in your Preferences called ChatLogTimeStampFormat and  give it a value of HH':'mm':'ss for 24 hour clock or hh':mm':'ss tt for 12 hour clock with AM or PM. .

More info on these values-

Works Felu!. Thanks.

It was just like "LogsDateDirFormat"="yyyy'-'MM".

Note that this registry key was also available in Plus! 3.

Many of the advanced Plus! registry options of Plus! 3 are also available for Plus! Live:

see http://old.msgplus.net/help_registry.php

As for ChatLogTimeStampFormat, this was also available in Plus!3 and therefor is documented:

http://old.msgplus.net/help_registry.php#datetags
which is were Felu got his information from; or it could also be found when searching the forum as this has been requested before.

Note that the stuff said in the Plus!3 documentation might change for Plus!Live, but many many things stays the same.

In other words:
