O.P. want chatlogs the way MSN keeps it
Hi I've been using MsgPlus! for a while now. I dun like the way MsgPlus! stores the chatlogs.(eg by month and account etc)

I prefer them to be handled by MSN itself. However, when i enable chatlogs in MSN while disabling them in MsgPlus!, the logs dun get saved at all.


Any way around this issue?

Could you post more details regarding your problem (i.e., WLM and Plus! versions, screenshots).

It's working fine for me.

You can change this:
Plus! > Preferences & Options > Conversations > Chat Logging > ...

And if those two options ('per month' or 'per contact') are too limited then you can always define the datetime splitting by setting a special registry key:
HKCU\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\your@email.com\Preferences\LogsDateDirFormat

See http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/registry/

quote:
LogsDateDirFormat - string "MMMM yyyy"

Format used to create chat logs files or directories (depending on your chat logs settings and/or event log settings). This value can be used for cosmetic purposes or functional purposes.

For example, a value of "yyyy" will force Messenger Plus! to create a new file/directory once a year and a value of "dd-MM-yy" will create a new file/directory once a day.

See below for more details.

hi nagamasa and cookierevised, thank you for both ya reply.

Will look into tweaking the registy, but is there no way to let MSN deal with the chatlogs instead?

As far as I know not.

Messenger Plus! doesn't have any influence on the native logging of  Messenger.

So, if you have that option enabled (Tools > Options > Messages > Automatically keep a history of my conversations) the logs should be saved to the directory which you have set.

Maybe check if that directory is a valid directory?

Yes, if you go to "Tools > Options > Messages > Automatically keep a history of my conversations" and make sure that it is selected, then go to Messenger Plus Preferences & Options then "Conversations" along the top and "Chat Logging" on the left and make sure that options are unselected.
