[NOTE: This post is regarding a relatively technical issue...] quote: Now ignoring that fact that that was a shameless plug of arrested development, it also reveals a very important fact about Microsoft's chat log: they don't save the passport id (ie Chareth@hotmail.com) anywhere in the file. In fact, they pretty much store just enough to display it via xsl without worrying about useful metadata they could have stored for future use. Not to mention the fact that they're storing the alternate colours inside the document itself... So it's really hard to join together these logs if there's no common identifier to connect the different friendly names (and my firendly name changes more often than... something that changes a lot), so what I'm here to ask is: is there any word on the internal format of the new spiffy xhtml logs in MsgPlus! 4? they looked very cool and I was wondering if that sort of data was going to be in the source of the file. Also if it's not finalised and passport id is not in there could it be? PS I know that I can do what I want with the current system, but I don't want to support a poorly designed microformat (even privately in a never to be released cruddy commandline program) if there's a better designed alternative in the wings...

quote:Well I don't know for definate and Patchou is probably the only one who can answer this, but I'd say its very ikely that the email address's will be stored in the logs, it's surprising that microsofts logs. RE: MsgPlus! 4 Logging by xkurix on 02-12-2006 at 06:12 PM

quote:1) It isn't really needed. The passport is the filename itself. Messenger logs are saved as "passport.XML" 2) In fact, they are stored inside the XML nevertheless. eg: <User LogonName="blahblah@yaddayadda.com" FriendlyName="djingledjangle"/> quote:Simply delete them like you delete any file... Do not post off topic stuff in threads. If you have questions about a certain specific topic, create your own thread (after searching the forums to look for already existing threads about that subject) Also do not cross post the same question in more threads. quote:As you can read in various threads, the new XML logging for Messenger Plus! Live will not break any functionality you had with previous versions. Furthermore, because they are going to be saved as XML's, you can fully customize it to whatever you want (just as you can now with Messenger's own XML logs) RE: MsgPlus! 4 Logging by offput on 02-14-2006 at 03:43 PM
That's weird, my log files don't have the LogonName attribute... RE: MsgPlus! 4 Logging by CookieRevised on 02-14-2006 at 07:03 PM
hmmm... now that you mention it, I did some quick checking on newer versions and indeed the XML logs from Messenger are changed since the new versions of Messenger. RE: MsgPlus! 4 Logging by offput on 02-14-2006 at 09:12 PM
well that's good |
