Hey, ok, when I try to open an encrypted chat log with someone, it opens the log viewer then asks for my password, I type it and begin decryption but when it's finished it comes up with an "Open, Save, Cancel" Dialogue as though I were downloading a file through Internet Explorer (I have IE8Beta2, Firefox 3 is my default though) and no matter what I do I can't get it to stop that.

I don't remember when it started doing it because I don't view the logs all the time but I'd really like to be able to read them in the native Log Viewer. Any help would be appreciated or have I managed to create yet another impossible problem lol.

Thanks in advance.

Cal.

anybody else with IE8 can test and tell me if that's related?

Just tryed it, opened fine in the default log viewer.

Unconfirmed; log viewer opens fine here, with IE8 installed. (works fine with and without IE8 being default browser too.)

No problem here and I'm using IE8b2 as well. This sounds like the program to open the logs with has been set to IE somehow...

How to fix:
- Find out where you store the Plus! chat log by going to Plus > Preferences > Conversations > Chat Logging
- Navigate to that folder
- Rightclick on one of the .ple files and choose Open With
- Check what program it is set to open with, it should look like this:



- If not, change it to look as above by checking the box infront of "Always use the selected program..." then click the Browse button and navigate to the Messenger Plus!Live folder, select Log Viewer.exe, click Open

Now you've reset the file association and encrypted log files should open up in the native Log Viewer again.

i think the problem is probably with its ability to open unencrypted log files, not encrypted ones

Ok, I've looked at the pictures..odd but yea ehh have you tried my solution?

Thanks for the suggestion but it's not applicable, as you can see the PLE file opens with the log viewer but I'm then given a download dialogue from within the viewer asking me to open, save, cancel the temporary html file (Plus decrypts the logs into a temporary html file that's removed once it's been looked at)
