If you've switched over from iChat, it's kind of annoying to switch between Adium's log viewer and Logorrhea to browse chats you've had with iChat and with Adium.

I use it. It's great because it combines both iChat and Adium logs into one unified log viewer.

If you had used iChat before and switched to Adium you can still view all your logs in one app as well as not have to launch Adium to read your logs.

It Works! Though, it is delayed (for obvious reasons) perhaps a bit too long. Are the restrictions in Adium for fetching away messages from AIM the lowest interval they can be without setting off the rate limiting error? If not, I would like to see them a bit shorter as it can be a few minutes befor...

Is it confirmed that the Away message bug is a direct result of the rate limiting error? Both issues showed up at the same time in Version .85 for me. I usually leave AIM on all night and wake up in the morning to the "Rate limiting Error" message. I also noticed that away messages didn't ...

You could just start a new message with each of your screen names (Cmd-N). Then keep the window open and minimized and whenever they sign on/off or change status it'll show that in the message window.

just open an adiumx log file in safari and "view source". It's just html.

I don't know what format Dead AIM logs are in but a script shouldn't be too hard to do.

I find that Cmd + Y and then changing the "State" drop down menu to "Available" and typing a custom status message to be pretty convenient.

Do you change "Available" status messages often enough to warrant another hotkey?

Um, from Phil Schiller's mouth:

You will not be able to run Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac

Interestingly though, he also said you may/will be able to install windows on a partition of your hard drive on the Intel Mac.

It's not a bug. If you have it set to "Use Address Book Icons as Buddy Icon" and your Address Book Icon is still set to your old icon each time Adium launches it will use your old icon despite you having changed your Buddy Icon in Adium. The solution would be to change your own icon in the...

I've been browsing the Applescript Dictionary to find a way to replicate the old "Set Idle" feature using an Applescript with a delay of 10 minutes that then automatically sets the idle time to 10 minutes. However, I can't seem to get the "my idle time" property to work. Tell app...

Woo! Very cool. Now I can play around with the settings. Get the status and away messages to show up.

Thanks!

Is it possible to use Applescript to set the idle time?

If so, how?

The reason Spotlight seems to favor iChat logs over Adium .html files is that the criteria for the sorting in the listing is "Date Last Opened". iChat seems to attach the date and time of when the Chat window was closed to the log as the "Date Last Opened". Adium Logs currently d...

Don't take this as an insult, but I don't get where "you should be able to do this, you shouldn't be able to do that" came from. Isn't it all just features of the application? Who gets to decide which things you should and shouldn't do? Couldn't it just be up to the users? Apparently a lot...

Hey, this isn't on topic but where did you get that wallpaper of Elizabeth Hurley?

I have to echo everyone else and say that CMD or Option clicking a saved away message to copy it into a new Custom status is a great idea!

They show up in generic documents in the format "[First Name] [Last Name] on 2005-05-10 at 16.24.chat" There doesn't seem to be meta data for the s/n so a search of the screen name won't bring up the chat unless it was mentioned in the conversation. (hopefully Adium logs will have both so ...

The main request for meta data would be the alias. So if you Spotlight a person, "John Smith" you'd get the Adium chats with them even if the name wasn't mentioned in the text of the conversation.

I agree with evilpenguin and the original poster about the custom away messages. I would like the ability when you select "Custom Away Message" to be able to include the text of a saved away message to edit. Ex. If your saved away messages are song lyrics to be able to do "Custom Away...

Ah, ok. Didn't realize that. Cool, thanks.
