Chat Logs deleting themselves while viewing by salanos on 08-18-2011 at 11:15 PM
Right, this has happened a few times and it's extremely irritating.
I use the chat log viewer quite often, sometimes while talking to the person involved, but I notice that sometimes if I leave the log viewer unattended for a while, then view a log for a different month (I keep folders per contact), sometimes the log deletes itself.
If I click the affected log in the viewer (it still shows there) it will say that access to the file is denied, then if I attempt again, it will say the file cannot be found.
If I check the directory in Windows Explorer, it's gone as expected, not in the recycle bin or even if I use file recovery (undeletion) software.
Is there a way to retrieve the file, or at the very least to stop this from happening any more?

If you have used an undelete app and was unsuccessful there is no way to recover it.
Now with that said during beta testing of Messenger Plus! this issue has never arose. It would lead me to believe there is an application or something like that on your computer that is causing the logs to be deleted. Irregardless I suggest emailing support@kimahrisoftware.com with your problem and they may be able to investigate further.

It only seems to happen when I'm browsing the logs and without very much apparent reason.
I can only think of my security (Kaspersky) as possibly deleting it, but that's unlikely as Kaspersky should offer a notification if it detects a threat and wants to delete it.
