O.P. Chat Log Images
Hello, I'd like to first thank Patchou for creating an amazing piece of software that turns plain ol' Messenger to something delightful to use, and also the testers for helping ensure quality, bug-free software (Y)

Now on to my little issue. I'm using WLM with MsgPlus on both my desktop and laptop, with chat logging enabled, encrypted and saved as HTML. So as such, there are two sets of chat logs. Periodically, I transfer all my chat logs from my laptop to the desktop to consolidate everything. There are several occasions where I'd have to rename those on the laptop (usually by adding "(2)" to the filename) before transferring. The problem is, the images saved by MsgPlus are named in such a way like "MsgPlus_Img1234.png". No problem there, but having two different images with the same filename, so if I overwrite the images from the laptop, it messes up the chatlogs already saved on the desktop.

I'd just like to ask if there's anyway to format the images' filenames from something sequential like "MsgPlus_Img1234" to something like "MsgPlus_ImgDDMMYY_HHNNSS" (indicating date and time of occurrence of image). I realize we could end up with hundreds of long filenames, but it is just a suggestion.

Also, I wanted to ask if there's a way to save those images as GIFs so that we could see animations when viewing chat logs, but I see it's covered in another thread.

Thanks for your time!
