You can enable Plus! logging and MSN Messenger chat logging in two different directories, and that could work.

If that does not please you, it is possible to make a plugin that will copy one directory to another every minute, and I might be willing to do it for you.

Although you may come across probems with readaccess as Plus! can be set to update ogs every minute I think so you may not be able to copy them while Plus! is writing to them.  Not sure, I think text fles are ok.

Why make it more complicated than it is... Isn't the easiest thing to do to simply copy the whole "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Mes files of conversation" directory to "D:\Sauvegarde\logs" ??

And to automate it simply make a batch file with the command:
copy  /Y  "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Mes files of conversation\*.*"  "D:\Sauvegarde\logs"

That's fair enough, but I think he just wants them to be synchronised to avoid it being tedious. I know it's not hard to do as you suggest, it's just a bit of a pain because obviously they would have to do this on a regular basis.

He wants to have all his logs double, aka: one is the copy of the other, he doesn't want to syncronize the two directories.

And even if he does, simply copying one to the other and vice versa with the xcopy command and /d parameter will syncronize them. No need to complicate stuff if such things are strait forward and already build in...

By synchronizing I mean when one directory is updated with logs, the other directory is also updated at the same time, and they are always exactly the same. Maybe I'm using the term in the wrong context but my point is that christof asks if his logs can be 'recorded' in two directories and therefore I assume he means together.

Although I don't personally see the need to have them stored twice, nonetheless, I have to disagree that copying and pasting is the best option. It's probably the simplest way, but as I said, it's a bit of a chore to copy them every now and then - and humans being humans, will probably forget at some point and the two directories will have different info stored in them and one will kind of be redundant.

Thank you for your answers!

I cannot however copy the repertoire towards another.
What one will need it is another addon which makes it possible to record the logs.
(In addition to MSN Messenger and plus!
do you Have an idea?  The way of making?

Thank you in advance

* Syncronizing means updating the two directories so they contain the exact same latest files, it is a bi-directional update. (1)
* This is different than copying a directory. (2)
* Which is again different than duplicating a directory. (3)


If these are the two directories:

  Directory A:
      -File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
  Directory B:
      -File 111 (from sept 9th 2005)
      -File 222 (from oct 10th 2005)
      -File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)

(1) Syncronizing A and B:
notice that both are exactly the same, and that files were updated to the latest versions.

  Directory A:
      -File 111 (from sept 9th 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
      -File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)
  Directory B:
      -File 111 (from sept 9th 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
      -File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)

(2) Copying A to B:
notice that the files in B are overwritten with the files in A if they were the same, regardless of the date. Files in B which were not in A will remain in B. Directory A isn't touched or updated at all.

  Directory A:
      -File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
  Directory B:
      -File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
      -File 444 (from jun 6th 2005)

(3) Duplicating A to B:
notice that directory B is a plain copy of directory A. All original files in B will be lost.

  Directory A:
      -File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)
  Directory B:
      -File 111 (from jan 1st 2005)
      -File 222 (from nov 11th 2005)
      -File 333 (from apr 4th 2005)

Either way, all can be done by a simple DOS command. And there is no easier method than this.

Why not?... it is a simple dos command... If you can't copy one folder to the other I very highly doubt any other (more complicated) method will work also...

What one will need is nothing more than what I've suggested though. Any other method is needless too complicated and making it far more harder than it is.

Like I said, after MSN Messenger finishes (and thus all logs are updated), simply duplicate or copy the logs.

-

Or is it that you need this so you can spy on someone's logs ??? Even so, the fact remains that doing what I suggest is the easiest, simplest, fastest and most convenient way.

Which is the source code and or this to you it for logger finds the messages?

Thank you in advance
