[Utility] Chat Log Converter+ 3.0 - Now Working!

[k0nane]

Important: This is a WINDOWS-based utility. If you have a Windows virtual machine, Boot Camp partition, or WINE (untested), this will be useful to you. I know of no Mac-native chat log conversion utilities. I thought I'd post this here as Adium support both in and out is explicitly listed.

Hello, Adium community! Some of you may be familiar with Chat Log Converter+ - one of the only chat log conversion tools ever available. It's very complete. I'll start with a description from an archived copy of the author's site:

Chat Log Converter+ is the tool you need if you chat with your friends, coworkers or family. Chat Log Converter+ will do almost everything you need to keep your chat history with you. Whether you are changing clients, changing locations, or changing computers - your chat history logs will never be left behind again!

Take chat logs created by Trillian and convert them into logs specifically used by Digsby or ditch Digsby for the hot new client Astra. Whether you are converting to something tried and true, or trying the hot new thing, the Chat Log Converter+ will be right there with you. It's ability to easily add new clients makes it the perfect solution to grow in the future.

Convert From:
Adium, Aim, Aim+, aMSN, BeeJive iPhone, DeadAIM, Digsby, Empathy, Gaim, Gajim, ICQ, Jabbim, Kopete, middle_man, Miranda, MSN, MSNPlus, Pidgin, Psi, QIP, Skype, Trillian, Xfire, Yahoo


Convert To:
Adium, Aim, Aim+, aMSN, DeadAIM, Digsby, Empathy, Gaim, Jabbim, Kopete, middle_man, MSN, MSNPlus, Pidgin, Psi, QIP, Trillian

The problem is that, even if one gets a copy of this lovely piece of freeware, it refuses to start, as it tries to check for updates via an XML file on a domain that's nothing but a parked page.

As I know this utility has a lot of use to people switching to and from Pidgin, Trillian, Digsby, Miranda, and all of the official IM clients, I decided to revive it by hosting a copy of the final pluginslist.xml myself, and fixing the EXE to check my server, rather than the defunct logconverter.com.

Interested?

Attention mods/admins: this application is FREEWARE. The fix that I have included is a simple change of string. This should not violate any anti-warez policies. Also, I do apologize if this is posted in the wrong section.

Post reserved for future use. Please note I am not the author of this application and cannot fix any bugs in it.

Again, this is a WINDOWS ONLY application. It will work if you have a Boot Camp partition, Windows virtual machine (VMware Fusion, Parallels, etc.), or possibly WINE (untested).

Well done mate, but a Mac version would be a lot more useful in my opinion
