Splitting, moving or deleting the logs is needed to ensure a good flow of the program.
I was suggesting this could be done automaticly?
If you mean by that like an option which you can turn on and is off by default, then yes, maybe.

But if you really mean automatically then many people will not like that as each has his own preference of where, when and how to save/split/whatever the XML logs (if needed).

Msgplus! doesn't have a problem with this...
Altough msgplus! doesn't really make 10 MB logs :P
True. But there is also a huge difference between adding simple lines of text (like Plus! does) and storing and updating a whole XML style log each time (like Messenger does). The latter is already slower on its own, even when you compare text logs and XML logs of the same filesize...

A line by line pure text log is much easier and quicker to read/update than a XML style formatted log where you each time need to parse and interpret the whole thing to update anything.

The XML logs themselfs are the problem, not the stylesheet (XSL) of how the log must look like when you view it. Everything is still the same logged in the XML logs as before, even if you edited the XSL.
