suggestion: write to log at regular interval

Post by adamrice »

I've noticed that when Adium crashes (rare, but it happens), my chat log has a big hole in it that goes back to (I think) my last launch, which may have been days before.

I suggest writing to the log at a regular N-minute interval to minimize the problem. I don't know how much of a hit it would be to do it on every message transaction, but if minor, that would be ideal.

The log should be fine; the message history will be lost. In 1.0 when we rewrite the logging system, this issue will be fixed.

Isn't someone re-writing the logging system in 0.9?
