RE: Manual decrypting of chat logs
This is the suggestions forum, and since you made this suggestion in this thread, you don't need to make another thread for it though...


However, I very strongly doubt Patchou will make something like this. Afterall, if such an application is made, it would be much easier to abuse it and try to brute force decrypting on logs (aka hacking logs) than it would be now with Messenger Plus!.

Also, the fact that there are no other official "supporting" applications for Messenger Plus!, while on the same time many could have been created by Patchou.

So I wouldn't get my hopes up for something like this...

-------

In fact, encrypting all your logs with the method you described can be done very quickly if you're somewhat handy with the PC, and know how to make batch files:

Make a batch file which:
1) Backs up everything that is in your main log folder
2) Empty the main log folder
3) Renames all your files in all your subfolders according to the subfolder they're in and moves them to the main folder (eg "\july 2003\me@blah.com.txt" becomes "july 2003.me@blah.com.txt")

And at this point all you have to do is to go to your Plus! encryption preferences and change the password and confirm it...

After that, let another batch file:
1) rename and move all the .PLE files back to their previous subfolder...
2) restore the original main log folder from the back up

PS: all this can also be done by programming some small simple tool in any language though...
