RE: Any way to convert legacy (.txt) logs into something useful?
PS: The reason why something like this hasn't been done before (at least not recently*) is that there are many many things you need to take into consideration when you want to convert a Plus! TXT log. As you have noticed, it is not as straitforward as one might think.

Apart from the few things/bugs you've already encountered, there are quite a lot more things which this script will probably 'crash' upon. And many of those things depend on user's settings at the time the log was created (also meaning it is very hard to get those settings so that the script is configured properly). Making it very hard to make an universal converter for stuff like this. That is: it is relativly easy to make a personal converter for one user, but it will probably not work for another user as-is.


* IIRC there once was a TXT converter posted on the forums though, many many years ago. But I'm not 100% sure of this.
