So.. I was wondering if anyone would like to make it?

The thing which a script could not do is restore the conversation text into the window if that's what your suggestion entailed.

No, that wouldn't be needed I don't think. There's always the option of "Show my last conversation in new conversation windows" in Options.

How would group convos be handled?

Ignore them?

Sounds like a cheap way to get around that. But because we can't send an invite to be added to a group conversation, I don't see any way to restore a group conversation.

I could make something likely, unless someone else has better ideas / wants to do it / has too much time and needs something to do / ...

This would be great especially if you leave your laptop on battery power and  forget to connect it to the mains and your PC shutdown (or something involving shutoff) and the you can see who was talking to you. Instead of looking through chat logs. As for the groups you can make it look like they are there but when you talk it adds them into the convo and if you don't it wont. (just an idea)

Would something like this do?



Just something I threw together last night after reading this thread. It's a WIP, and it currently ignores group convos completely, but I could finish and release it if there's any demand.

The basic concept seems to work when I've ended the process for WLM using task manager, dunno if it would work in other situations but I assume it should.


Edit: Now with updated screenshot

FFC, that looks great!
I think you should seriously release that script! Maybe add a Cancel button so that you don't have to go look for the "Don't restore" option, but apart from that... I WANT IT!

Haha, that's awesome FFC!
Yeah, stick a cancel button in there too.
