Is there any way to easily mass decrypt all/a selection of my Plus! chat logs?
Disable the encryption option in
Plus! > Preferences > Privacy Protection > Passwords > Encrypt all my logs to protect my privacy.
After you press "Apply" or "OK", Plus! will ask for the old password used on your logs.
All the logs located in the main log directory will be decrypted using that old password you entered (Thus not the logs inside the archived subdirectories!).
A small problem with this is that it stops decrypting logs if it encounters a log which was encrypted with a different password. But Plus! will ask to continue decrypting the other files if that happens, so answer "yes" to that question.
Of course, the ones encrypted with a different password will not be decrypted. For this you need to repeat the process, but of course enter the correct password for those files.
To repeat the process you need to
1) enable the encryption again, enter and confirm the new password
2) press "ok" or "apply" and Plus! will ask if it needs to re-encrypt everything, answer "no"...
3) disable the encryption again, press "ok" or "apply" and enter the old password used on those few other files which weren't decrypted in the first batch run...
As said, this decrypts everything in the main log directory, thus to only decrypt a selection move the logs you don't want to be decrypted temporary to a different directory than your main log directory.

It would also be nice to mass decrypt then rencrypt with a different password
Set another password, confirm the new password and press "OK" or "Apply"... and it will re-encrypt all your previous logs after you stated the old password (in the main log directory; thus not the ones in the archive subdirectories).
