Quick question: where does Adium save your status messages? I checked in the prefs file, but didn't see a reference.

Code: Select all

~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default/Saved Status.plist

Oye, it's seems to be encoded. :(

I was hoping to snag it for use with another app.

If it's saved as a binary plist (not sure if it is or not), you can always open it in Property List Editor and do an XML dump to get the XML.

You can also use the command-line utility, plutil, to convert it, by going to the command-line and executing plutil -convert xml1 /path/to/plist.

Note that both of these are installed with the Developer's Tools, but not in a default installation of OS X.

You should be able to read it in using a standard NSDictionary and then accessing the appropriate keys and values.
