Ok when you open a chat log that is encrypted and requires a password is said to be ''uncrackable'' well every time you open one it makes a temp html file in the folder its kept in. Its a hidden file so one one can see it.

If you then close the chat log viewer it will be deleted and wont go to the recycle bin. So if anyone gets a recovering program to get deleted files they can get access to the file and view it.

Should this be fixed?

Sorry if i am wrong..

No, Patchou has said once before that the log file is overwritten with garbage data after it is deleted. I'll try to go find the post..

EDIT:
Patchou's reply to Is it possible to read encrypted logs with helper programs without a password?

Good Thanks for the info.

So, Theoretically, if you copied the file while it was open in the chat log viewer you could have the data that is "Encrypted"?  Or am I not understanding this right?
