Whole chatlog file gone when closing chatwindow with chatlog open by Timvw on 01-21-2008 at 08:02 PM
Hello,
I think I have found a terrible bug in the logbooks of Messenger Plus. When you are talking to a contact with the Messenger Plus logbook of that contact open and then you close the chatwindow with logbook still open, the whole logbookfile of that contact of that month will be deleted instead of adding the new chat to te logfile. I don't know if it is worth to mention this, but I have my logbooks encrypted with a password.
Hope there's something that can be done about this. Lucky me I still had the standard XML-log of MSN activated, so in the end I have got all the messages. But if I did not have that, all was gone.
Tim

This has been reported a few times before.
I tried to reproduce it many times but only once for an encrypted file I could achieve to delete log file with the method you said. But all my attempts to delete more have failed. Can you always delete files with that method or does it occur sometimes/rarely?
