O.P. Changing chatlog dirs format
Hi everyone!
Currently settings for logging of my chats are default. Chats are being sorted by month -- "Create a directory each month for every file", "mmmm yyyy"-format. Result looks like this:

December 2004
January 2005
November 2004
etc. ...


The only thing I want to change is "mmmm yyyy" to "yyyy'-'mm" format, so result will look like this:

2004-11
2004-12
2005-01
etc. ...


How do I do that?!?
On msgplus.net regestry settings page I found the following:
quote:
HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\your@email.com\Preferences
ArchiveFileDateFmt
string
"MMMM yyyy"

This parameter is used by the Archive "Create a different directory for each file" option. By default, files are broken by month and year. You can customise this behaviour the way you wish by using this parameter. For more information about the tags you can use, click here.
Because I see this feature involves switching from "Create a directory each month for every file" to "Create a different directory for each file", I am asking myself, what will that do to the way my chats are being logged?
The only thing I want to change is "January 2005" to "2005-01".

Thanks! :)

Did you see the link to download MsgPlus! Tweak? It's on the advanced (registry) options page.

It'll give you the format you want. (Y)



Edit (12/07/2005): This is crazy. I was having a similar problem, I use the search engine (forums) and end up reading this, and now that I read carefully I'm ashamed I said what I said before. It seems that I didn't really understand the issue. :tongue:

Hopefully now I understand...

Yes, i did, it makes use of the same regestry settings on that page. If I change settings manually or with Tweak! Plus!, I will still need to change "Create a directory each month for every file" to "Create a different directory for each file", and I want to know what will be the result of it :-/

The result of "create a different directory for each contact" will simply create a directory called contact@email.com and inside you'll find files such as "June 2004.txt", etc...
